So next Monday the mighty Malta battle out against the Italian minnows. While i'll obviously be supporting Malta and swearing at the Italians, I'll avoid insulting the Juve players haha

This is a team coming from a 17th place finish at the World Cup.

Context.

Sopcast? @Alex-444

Has Italy ever played a more pathetic forward line? Immobile--Zaza? Seriously. I mean, both decent players, but nowhere near world class.

not like balotelli is doing much better himself

I'd rather play Immobile Zaza over Balo any day of the week. They're both hard working and promising players and while I do think Immobile is overrated, I see Zaza having a a very bright future.

It wasn't a comment about Balotelli. I think our forward line at the WC was easily as pathetic.

What I was more so referring to is the fact Italy's gone from consistently having class forwards through the 70s, 80s, 90s, early to mid 00s, to this. Decidedly mediocre.

I see them as both decent-good, but nowhere near world class strikers.

Gotcha. I think they're good enough for Italy. They are both good at counterattacking so if Conte doesn't play the same style he did at Juve they'll be able to go far.

That was almost incredible by Zaza there. Even making such good contact on Bonucci's lob in was very impressive.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Why not a more adventurous lineup against such a shitty side?

They can hardly beat them with this one

They can hardly beat them with this one

That's my point

Chiellini scores on Buffon! Trying to get Conte fired!

Bonucci

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Why the hell is Bonucci even up there?

 

[Post Ironic]

One wonder volley a week from Bonucci is all that one can really expect.

 

[JuveJay]

Such an Italy performance...lol. Seen this shit a million times, now they are going to suddenly wake up.
