I have a friend with this name. Didn't know he was a famous footballer.
Just like how Conte has a side job.

Just cuz I don't like him, doesn't mean I don't rate him :p

It's a good thing he's at those purple rats now. It means I can hate him as much as I want, and there's no way he is ever joining us :stuckup:
I'm just messing with you :D.

I just want Italy to hurry up and beat Czech so we qualify so that the Juve players can be rested for the rest of the qualifying matches. The timing of these qualifiers is such a distraction.

But back on to the Azzuri. The squad would start to look compelling if Rossi can be on form by the time of the world cup. Having Balotelli, Insigne, Rossi and El Sharaawy would be good for the attack. Midfield should be good with Pirlo, Marchisio, De Rossi, Verratti, Candreva & Montolivo. Defense should be solid with Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Ogbonna. Perhaps the full backs are a bit average though.

Should have a decent world cup. But on the other hand, Argentina has to have the strongest team on paper now. I think either Argentina or Brazil (due to home advantage) are the front runners for this tournament.

Funny article (even after google translating :p) about tomorrow's game:

6 inevitabili reazioni azzurre (di Massimo Zampini)

1) Marchetti si guarderà intorno preoccupato. No, tranquillo, stasera non ci sono Vidal, Pogba, Tevez e Vucinic, goditi la serata.

2) Buffon, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini e Pirlo, invece, si guarderanno intorno speranzosi. Però.... No, purtroppo stasera non ci sono Vidal, Pogba, Tevez e Vucinic, ma Montolivo, Thiago Motta e compagnia. Tocca fare gli straordinari.

3) Giaccherini rivivrà quegli attimi contro il Catania, al novantesimo, quando gli avversari cominciavano a eccitarsi per la Juve in crisi che non vinceva più, e lui aspettava il cross di Pogba, la smanacciata del portiere, e un pallone solo da mettere in rete. Lui felice, gli altri più neri che mai. Come sempre nei due anni in cui sei stato con noi. Anche per questo ti meriti tutti gli applausi che ti verranno dedicati. Grazie ancora Giak.

4) I tifosi italiani non juventini, finalmente, dopo due anni di amarezze, potranno godere per ogni gol realizzato dalla squadra di casa in quello stadio che li ha visti spesso uscire a testa bassa. E magari impareranno come si costruisce uno stadio del genere, senza aspettare la solita legge ad hoc.

5) Abete vedrà in modo chiaro quante sono gli scudetti e le stelle della Juventus. E si meriterà i tanti fischi che riceverà. Perché anche la nostra memorie, oltre all'etica, non va in prescrizione.

6) Guariniello siederà in tribuna con uno stato d'animo difficile da raccontare: da un lato la bella sorpresa che lo stadio, intorno a lui, stia ancora in piedi. Dall'altro la paura, il terrore che un gol azzurro possa provocare cedimenti strutturali irreparabili. Tranquillizziamolo pure: se non è crollato con i gol, le vittorie e le feste di questi due anni, forse siamo salvi davvero.

6 inevitable reactions blue (Maximum of Zampini)

1) Marchetti takes a look around worried. No, quiet, tonight there are no Vidal, Pogba, Tevez and Vucinic, enjoy the evening.


2) Buffon, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini and Pirlo, however, hopeful look around. But .... No, unfortunately there are no tonight Vidal, Pogba, Tevez and Vucinic, but Montolivo, Thiago Motta and companionship. Have to do overtime.

3) Giaccherini relive those moments against Catania, the ninetieth, when opponents were starting to get excited for Juve in crisis that had not won more, and he was waiting for the cross of Pogba, the smanacciata the goalkeeper, and a ball only to network . Him happy, others more blacks than ever. As always in the two years you've been with us. This is also why you deserve all the applause that you will be dedicated. Thanks again Giak.

4) The Italian fans not Juventus, finally, after two years of bitterness will enjoy for every goal scored by the home team in that stadium that has seen them often go out with his head down. And maybe they will learn how to build a stadium like that, without waiting for the usual ad hoc law.

5) Spruce see clearly how many badges and stars of Juventus. And you deserve the many whistles will receive. Because even our memories, in addition to ethics, should not be barred.

6) Guariniello sit in the stands with a state of mind difficult to tell: on the one hand the nice surprise that the stadium around him, he's still standing. On the other hand the fear, the terror that a goal blue can cause irreparable structural damage. Tranquillizziamolo well: if not collapsed with goals, victories and celebrations of these two years, maybe we're safe really.

Apparently Prandelli tried out a 3-5-2 with Bonucci, De Rossi & Chiellini. It's speculated that will be what is fielded tomorrow. Osvaldo/Balotelli up front.

Good. Prandelli needs to stay with the 3-5-2 from now and throughout the WC. Clearly the best formation for the players at his disposal. Italy look much more solid at the back with the Juventus (and De Rossi) block. We perhaps slightly suffer going forward though.
