Imo, Spain remains the one even if they're not as dominant as they were, I'd put Germany and Italy as strong outsiders.

i wouldn't rule out france either i know they've been in a bit of a mess for some time now but they've got some decent youngsters coming through

 

[TrezJuve]

Agreed, they've been better off with Deschamps and that could translate into a decent WC campaign, but I'd be surprised to see them really challenge for it.

De Sciglio.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Nah, Probably France will be good at their home EURO but for now they are dead material

 

[Mark]

Can Prandelli try some stuff in case the Azzurri lose one of Pirlo or Barza? No, put the starters every time and get fucked when he needs a game to replace them in a game that counts.

Ye, i can't understand what the sense to use Pirlo - Montolivo alongside together

well a year is a long time any thing can happen, i wouldn't say they are dead material they certainly have a pool of exciting talents. A lot of people wrote off France in 98 as well

Mistery of that final and what happened to Brazil is still in the air

France simply wanted it more on the night, i seem to remember there was some issue with ronaldo as well

With the whole Brazil squad

 

[Badass J Elkann]

There was something about ronaldo being initially left off the team sheet then reappeared minutes before the line up was announced and if i recall correctly the entire side failed to appear for pre match warm ups.

Intoxication, they ate some shit by some french chief in the night before the game and on the next day most of them were like vegetables

The match could have easily been 2-2 at half, Italy were very unlucky early on. They should be pretty happy with the performance.

Just watched the highlights. WTF @ De Sciglio's half assed attempt at tracking Oscars run fro the goal. Either he is really unfit or is just bad.

he sucked ass but according to RAI he was like Gentile today, Montolivo was awesomeness and Bonucci was a worse version of Boumsong.

 

[TrezJuve]

Montolivo was good, truth to be told.

 

[Joe]

De Sciglio played well. He just needs more experience.

Montolivo could have been more at fault for that goal than DS actually.

Bonucci was solid IMO. The only mistake was that weak header clearance.

 

[Mark]

Marchese should get a call for the LB position.

That's food poisoning. Intoxication is when you have too much to drink.



And Spain are definitely favorites imo.
