I would still start Cassano.. He creates chance for Italy an we can always replace him second half.

I liked the idea of Marchisio in the whole, won't happen though

Would personally like to see 3-5-2, if they don't want to break up the Bonu-Barza partnership, and keep Balza on. I thought he played well vs England. Drop Monti The Useless.

could diamanti not play in montolivos spot? or is that a bit of a stretch?

 

[Trezegol17]

Chiello should be back for this match right?

 

[Socrates]

6 Juventus players to start

chiellini better not start. no way he is 100% fit. barza and bonucci have been great so why risk another injury and lose a sub.

you guys think that germany had a better team in '06 or now? Because i think us beating germany at this euro is less of a shocker as apposed to what happened in 06. They were favourites, host nation, and had even more days rest if i'm not mistaken. Plus we were playing with players like gilardino, toni, and iaquinta as our strikers with are clearly less superior to our current strikers but obviously our team quality was better as a whole.

Germany's team now is much better than in 2006. They have depth on that squad that most teams can only dream of. the scary thing is that they seem to be getting better and better with each match, which could have almost been expected given the relative youth of that squad. They are scary, and once Reus, Kroos, and Mueller get fully integrated into the squad, they would have to be considered the odds on favorite for the World Cup

If Brazil don't win it in 2014, I'll be VERY surprised.

There is no way they are going to have another 1950 on their hands. No way.

Germany have allowed two goals in each of their last three matches. If Balotelli places his shots better I think Italy can ride him and their defense to a 1-0 or 2-1 victory.

I'd pick Iqauinta, Toni, and even Gilardino over Balo. They could actually score.

Germany's defense is weak but they're better in every other area. But yeah, Germany's team is definitely better than Italy's based on players.

Germany has better squad than Italy but difference is not as big as Italy vs England. England were inferior in every department. And it ended up 0-0! Germany are slightly favorites but it can go either way easily.

I don't know what you where on with the other two though

Germany are significantly better now than they were in '06.

Without a doubt. This is going to be extremely tough for Italy.

I'd say Müller is pretty well integrated by now.
