That was so Borriello-esque.

i like that prandelli took him off right after that. Setting that idiot straight.

It was a lot harder then it looks but yeah, if you're Italy's first choice forwards, you should've scored that.

 

[Salvatore]

He's so erratic.

Closes down, wins possession and keeps it by heading the ball back into play, runs away then switches off. He could be so so good.

Prandelli:"Giaccherini MOTM"

Was that a penalty? It was tackle from behind?

 

[JuveJay]

Behind but essentially from the side, he won the ball.

Yes he could. Gets in his own head. That's why he needs someone like Conte to settle him

I wasn't surprised that the Azzurri played well, I expected them to do that. In fact I thought they could have done even better than that. Barzagli would have made things much different and I hope they don't rush him back from injury as I need him for my Juve healthy and ready.

I don't see barzagli returning before the Irish game.

Croatia worries me a little though. Prandelli really has to have an attacking mindset for that game. Now it's also a race to see who scores more goals between the two sides and concedes the least.

I don't want him to be rushed for the game against Ireland.

Indeed. I'm still mad at him for losing that chance.

I think he's great. Honestly, I have so much fun when Balotelli is on the pitch. Di Natale's goals are all boring and the same. Balotelli entertains.

I'm a fan but I'd never want such a player in the team I support. He could be sent off at ANY point. He's all about himself, nothing matters to him as a "team" player. Di Natale made the difference tonight, awesome goal which reminded me of Alex' goal against Germany so of course it could be anything but boring.

Except Di Natale should have passed. There was really no excuse for not giving it to Cassano. And that he went for glory tells me what kind of man Di Natale is. Balotelli was happy after the game, the opposite wouldn't have happened. Di Natale, for all the goals he has made, will always feel inferior to Del Piero and Totti and it shows in his interviews and when he's playing for Italy.

I don't know what kind of man he is, fact is that he didn't pass and he scored while Balotelli didn't pass and didn't shoot and screwed an even better chance up.

Honestly this italjuve of Prandelli lacks that extra factor, that grinta, stamina whatever that Conte instills in the players, that makes them push extra hard, even when they're pinned back they give it an extra push, which takes the opponents by surprise and forces them to back down, kneel.
Anyways at least it somehow gives us a halfassed demo of what Juve's capable of doing in the next CL.

Did anybody else think Di Natale would choke his goal?

nope, knew he would bury it.

Super GIGI. Like a BAWS.
