Insigne-Balotelli-El Shawarma is the future of the Azzurri.

Hopefully Insigne will have a stellar season with Napoli to get the call up for the World Cup.

I like this tridente as well. Been following Insigne in the U-21 Euro and he does a lot of good things. Don't judge him from the goal alone. He was absolutely fantastic in the game against Holland where the rest of his team mates completely goes missing.

Sky HL DP commentary?

Good game, not for Barzagli though. Marchisio was disappointing as well. Hope we build upon this for Brazil.

 

[Trequartista]

Yep. Barzagli had a stinker.

In any case, I wonder why Prandelli did not use Diamanti, he would have offered much more than Marchisio in that position.

Japan next, right?

I'm just really pumped up for the Brazil game for some reason

It should be great. Both teams should have clinched qualification to the knockout by then. I expect brazil to dispatch mexico easily and italy should steamroll japan. So thy ahould be playing to avoid spain, lol.

I feel like the Japan game will end in a draw, don't know why. I hope not though.

Tahiti to beat Spain 1-0 in the 90th minute and send them spiraling downward

Hahahahaha. That would be amazing. The tahiti part.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

I hate them and their style of play, so boring and annoying. But then playing defensive is "negative" they say .

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I'd have given Giacch a 6.5, but other than that, what's so funny about the ratings? Pretty much spot on.

She got it right... she must know something we don't

Twitter, Virgine Caprice or something like that

Marchisio is missing from the ratings Brah

Balotelli: "I wasn't aware of two yellow cards rule. Net time I'll keep my shirt on."
What a character. Why didn't we go for him?

 

[deggen10]

Prandelli's tactics are all over the $#@!ing place.

why play Montolivo when you have Pirlo?

why play Marchisio completely out of position?

Playing Montolivo together with Pirlo and DeRossi is why the midfield works well. Having 3 creative players makes it pointless man-marking Pirlo.

As for Marchisio? Well the usual answer to just about every strange Italian selection is 'Workrate'. Our most talented players never work hard enough so the Manager takes the worker option.

 

[Ahmed]

3 deep-lying playmakers? Creative is a bit of a reach, DDR and Monto gave away the ball countless times, not to mention zero penetration into the box.

Cerci SES Diamanti Candreva even friggin' Giovinco all have good workrate.

And Montolivo often takes reigns when Pirlo gets tired. The only Prandelli's mistake last night was not deploying one of Cerci or Diamanti from the start if SES is not ready yet. It would give us more width and directness against Mexican defenders.
