Barzagli really is the missing piece in this defence. Barzagli - De Rossi - Chiellini, man thats fapworthy

True but don't u think Italy need help in Midfield ?

After this season and today, I think it's clear. Marchisio has developed into one of the best CM's in Europe. I'll go as far as saying, baring Iniesta and Xavi, there isn't a more complete midfielder in Europe.

people might flame but you're on to something

What? Who will we be missing? if anything we get barzagli back

How many players on yellow? Can't see less than 2 getting a suspension for final round.

 

[Alen]

Pletikosa ; Strinic, Corluka, Schildenfeld, Rakitic, Vukojevic, Modric, Perisic, Srna ; Mandzukic, Jelavic

Given ; St Ledger, Ward, O'Shea, Dunne ; Whelan, Mc Geady, Andrews, Duff ; Doyle, Keane

chellini, balo, bonnucci

I'd rather have De Rossi in the midfield. Bonucci does better when he has Barzagli on his right.

The game against Napoli and Russia don't agree with you.

He doesn't impose himself enough to be worthy of that statement yet. But he's in a high category for two-way midfielders.

Trapper gonna frustrate the hell out of Croatia

That was Spain, you'll see them a lot more comfortable up against players that aren't Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Xabi, Silva, Fábregas etc.

Thiago Motta was good as well.

 

[Nicholas]

Flame all they like. Marchisio dominated today and really took the game to Spain.

 

[Gian]

chellini, balo, bonnucci

Maggio I think too

 

[AndreaCristiano]

Maggio I think too

possible dont recall and didn't check lol

I used to think like that but every big game this year he's dominated, and today he took the game to Spain.

Yeah he's a big game player, but that's perhaps an indication of him needing motivation to reach his best performances.

giacch made one critical error. Was thinking DDR instead of him and Juve back 3 when the time comes but we see

Midfield is fine as it is. De Rossi is amazing as a CB. Very demanding, technical and composed. Also a great passer with vision.

3-5-2 for the rest of the tournament for me.

 

[swag]

As much as Andy likes to troll the Italy NT fanboys who have nothing remotely to do with Italy, they surprised me today and looked like one of the more interesting teams in this tournament.

 

[Hængebøffer]

Go Ireland.
at Janna's hate for Prandelli.

DDR as a left wing back is a bit risky :d

Thought the error was down to Chiellini a lot more than Giaccherini. Barzagli to step in for Bonucci, perhaps, and the rest stays as it is.

It's not so much a weak generation as much as injuries and awful form of some players. As a matter of fact, the provisional squad for this euro was the same as the one for 2008+ Eduardo. On top of it our players were young back then and now they're all in their best years. But tonight we won't start with Eduardo, Kranjcar, Olic and except Modric, noone else can really make a difference. Not that Ireland has stars themselves, but even if we make it against them, it's impossible to get more than a point against Italy and Spain.

I should have said "team" there, instead of "generation"
