Well it's pretty much unknown if he's good or crap for Italy rather than just crap. He's only played 2 games and scored 1 goal.

Pazzini is still the better option for them. Even more so than Gilardino.

I'd love to see Abate get a call up with the way he's been playing, I don't see why it hasn't happened already.

Balzaretti is defenitely better then Criscito, odd that not only dont you start him, but dont have him on the roster/bench, what has someone like Bocchetti done to be called up?

That fucker should have been executed.

 

[Trequartista]

That man is a disgrace.

The referee in the Korea-Spain game was as bad though.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Probably worse in the Spain game TBH.

 

[Trequartista]

Probably worse in the Spain game TBH.

I'd agree with that. They got two absolutely legitimate goals cancelled and as just as many ridiculous other calls than in the Italy game.

 

[swag]

Can anyone explain how a crook like that even gets to ref in the WC to begin with??

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I'd agree with that. They got two absolutely legitimate goals cancelled and as just as many ridiculous other calls than in the Italy game.

It was absolutely disgusting how the refs favoured Korea in those 2 games.

Looks pretty weak, no?

 

[Cheesio]

Looks pretty weak, no?

That's the best Italy can offer right now, It's pretty weak compared to the top national teams tough like Spain, Germany, Holland.

 

[KC17]

May look a little weak defensively, but I think the mid-field is on par with most top 10 teams, and the attack is great.

 

[DIECI]

Prandelli better start Balotelli vs Serbia! He's been totally beasting at ManCity the last few weeks!

 

[DIECI]

I would have brought on Abate and T.Motta as well.

 

[Fake Melo]

Prandelli better rest Pirlo.

 

[DIECI]

Prandelli better rest Pirlo.

yessir!! he better, these are basically glorified friendly games this week. I really think we have to show ourselves in Serbia and come out fighting but still... like I said glorified friendly so rest Pirlo.. I would like to see this midfield and attack :

..........Rossi....Balotelli
.............Montolivo
Aquilani...............Nocerino
..............DeRossi

Then Sub Giovinco for Montolivo and Pazzo for Rossi

NO PIRLO PLEASE!!

Just play Cigarini and I will be happy.
