It was far from Buffon's fault. Brazil was mediocre, but Italy was crap. Only goal that was really at fault was the free kick. He got caught cheating.

That said, it never should have been a free kick in the first place.

I would love to see an Italy team with

Insigne in the starting 11. I think he can be a key player in a 433 with Balo and El Shar or Balo and Rossi next year.

Giach is playing his way into a starter role as well. Good for him. He is a very hard worker.
I hope Insigne makes it this year. Italy needs his talent. And SES to have nice season as well. Insigne-Balo-SES is future.


i wouldn't rule out Gabbiadini and or Borini, there is no way gilardino should be part of this squad.
Depends on their playing time. I would like to see them of course.
Gila no way. He's passed it.

I would imagine that Borini will play more, certainly if he stays away from the unlucky injuries he's had and if suarez goes, Gabbiadini is becoming hot property i would expect that he will get more first team football. It's really sad fact that if balotelli is injured there isn't anyone decent enough on the bench to actually replace him.

why wasnt di natale part of the trip?
Di Natale and Quag should have been in this team, I mean Di Natale is getting a bit long in tooth and Quag (for some) isn't the real deal, and even I can admit he isn't tip top in quality terms. We are simply becoming too reliant on Balo, and surrounding him with a swarm of seagulls to scrap off. I'm not sure myself but is Balzaretti in this squad? If he isn't then he darn well should be!!

Also, we must go back to 3-5-2, we played our best looking football at the Euro's using Juve's formation and tactics, this christmas tree formation can go eat a fat one.
Lastly, I do not want to see Diamanti anywhere near a Juventus shirt let alone in one!!

Buffon
Barzagli - Bonucci - Chiellini
Pirlo
Abate/Maggio - Montolivo/Aquilani - Marchisio/Giaccherini - De Scgilio/Abate

You should be happy that you weren't perma banned for all your racist comments! Fact.
Angry or not, that reaction is unacceptable. They lost, what can you do? Man up and move on.

Lets say he is fired, who would even be his replacement?

Hopefully he'll sort out those issues or Italy can expect another WC early exit.
