I think they'll focus Pirlo he's our biggest weakness defensively but that can backfire on them we'll have to w8 and see

Awesome dream lol.

1) Barza was coming back from a small injury.
2) Chiello was injured earlier in the tournament, and though played against Germany, he fell to pieces in the final and had to be subbed off.
3) Prandelli then subbed on Thiago Motta who then himself got injured and Italy went down to 10 men for much of the 2nd half.
4) Further on Prandelli; he was amazing throughout most the tournament, and won games no one thought he would. After that 'chat' with Conte, going into the group game vs Spain with Juve's 3-5-2 (playing DDR in Barza's position) was genuis! Spain until then look unassailable as an international squad and that Juve derived 3-5-2 utterly choked their supply and rendered their tika-taka practically useless (I recall Giak was used as a LWB in that game too). Prandelli lost his nerve, right at the death and played a 4 back against Spain in the final that didn't work and back-fired horribly, he readily abandoned the very tactics he proved would work against the Spanish style of play (also, Chiello shouldn't have started, and T.Motta was the wrong sub for the wrong situation).
5) Italy's midfield doesn't have a Pogba or Vidal (though one could say DDR is a pretty apt replacement), but Vidal, Pogba, Pirlo and Marchisio (with Asamoah, Pereyra and Sturaro in reserve) makes for a very potent midfield that exceeds even Italy's!

1) Your analysis is pretty spot on mate, I agree with pretty much all you've said..
2)
F*cking Prandelli's mancrush on Riccardo Olive Mount...
3) Again yo're right mate... We've not played a team even close to Barca's style, likewise they've not faced up against anything like Juve. Putting aside who we obviously want to see win, for football's sake it will be an intriguing chess style, tug-of-war struggle between two pretty formidable squads!
We're going to have to dig deep and fight like this!

Montolivo and Abate. I don't know how those two ever set foot on the pitch in the Euros, let alone started the final. That was just so cringeworthy for a European Championship final. Man, that match was so anti-climactic and awful.

Stuff like that makes Mexico pretty scary. Not to mention that Mexico looks like a playground for USA to make economic experiments with neo-liberalism. On the other hand regular mexicans seem super cool people.

The Barca forum is so full of butthurt about the injury wishes and comments here. Basically calling Tuz a breeding ground for disgraceful human behaviour. 
'Tuz is a glorious and chaotic mess and I wouldn't have it any other way. The fact they don't seem to understand that 9 of 10 comments here of that sort are tongue-in-cheek, it's pretty sad.
It's not our fault their forum is all vanilla and boring as fuck. It's purely a football forum, filled with Messi fanboys (and girls @Ragazza ), all super-serious about how amazing Messi and Barca are. YAY! FUN!

"Oh, man. We're playing against God Messi, God Iniesta, God Xavi, God Suarez, God Neymar and their prophet Rakitic. Let's hope we don't get trashed too much. I'll be happy with 4-0 loss. Should I get a vaseline for the massive assfuck that awaits us."
I also saw that they are quoting Siamak as the "average" Tuz opinion and I was like
Yep.
I can see how it would pretty bad to someone not used to it though
Exactly, especially in the build up to our games with Madrid there wasn't one article that didn't highlight his injury and how incredibly important he was for the team. I mean he's still rather far away from Xavi/Pirlo/Iniesta recognition in the general public, but that's also because he's been at that level for a shorter time, and can't really get the same exposition in international tournaments the way the other three could due to playing for Italy & Spain.
