I have a feeling that Lippi is playing us here. It doesn't make sense for the man to make these decisions. It's nothing like Lippi at all and I think he's trying to get the pressure off for the World Cup (I suspect he knows Italy aren't that good). I can't say I fully agree with that tactic, but we'll see how it turns out.

feel u and with his words he looks like he want's that...

What will happen if Italy beats Brazil and Egypt beats USA?

 

[Seven]

Please you are not serious.

You seem very unfamiliar with Italian football and Italian tactics. It's quite surprising that you support the Azzurri.

 

[Bjerknes]

No, he said that the Egyptians are the Milan of Africa and that they're awful atm.


Yeah, one of Giorgio's worst matches. He was even worst than Cannavaro and Grosso


Close.
If you beat Egypt and Brazil beats Italy then a mini table will be created, with the results against Brazil not counted.

So far Italy has 3:2
Egupt has 1:0
USA has 1:3

If you beat Egypt by less than 3 goals then Italy will qualify. In order Italy not to qualify you either have to beat the Egyptians 3:0, 4:1 etc, or not to beat them at all.

Your chance to qualify is to beat Egypt by 3 or more and Italy to lose.

Oh, OK. Thanks for clarifying. That's much, much better.

Toni, Iaquinta, Rossi, Quaggy combined can't dribble a single player to save their week. I never liked Cassano nor will ever be a fan of his but why keep him out if you want to try something new, Lippi?

Keeping Del Piero out wasn't wise as-well. Pirlo can't score another Freekick, the man is awful freekick taker.

The only player I would have loved to see him taking Del Piero's place considering that he would be a new face (like Lippi said, he wants new faces) is Giovinco.

Contradiction is all over this squad seriously. I don't know what coaches see in Quaggy and Pepe for example. Marchisio who happens to be a DM/CM can play on the flanks better than both. Awful vision these two got.

I'm glad they were defeated tonight, this is a wake-up call for Italy and Lippi. You don't leave Cassano(comparing to these attackers) and Del Piero home. They're the ultimate show and match deciders.

The more I think about it, the more I know Lippi is doing this on purpose. Both Cassano AND Del Piero will feature in the World Cup. Mark my words. I'm saying this a full YEAR before the World Cup, but they will play.

Whether or not this is a good thing I don't know. But Lippi is hiding.

You believe Lippi is essentially losing on purpose?

 

[Alen]

Oh, OK. Thanks for clarifying. That's much, much better.

I don't know if it's better for you.
I can't see you beating Egypt by 3. But if you beat them, even by 1 goal difference, it will mean that Italy qualifies.

So.... if you beat Egypt by 1 or 2 goals difference you'll do a mega favor to the Azzurri.

true... sounds like a new guy in the game....

 

[nasser]

congrats. im really happy for egypt, kinda felt bad for vinny.

I wish my NT half as good as egypt.

congrats wahdan

 

[da_ledgeaun]

Congrats to Egypt,I wish Iraq could also go through the next round..Egypt deserves to go through,but with this result,i could see the Italian team giving an all out performance against Brazil,well at least i hope,and no more Gattuso,Toni,Pepe,Gila,and Quag for the match against Brazil..Oh how i wish del piero is in the team..montolivo-pirlo-derossi-camo-rossi with Iaquinta up top,that is probably the best formation italy could use..

 

[Hust]

Lippi is going to rue the day that he froze Cassano out of this squad

 

[Seven]

You believe Lippi is essentially losing on purpose?

No, I believe he has selected a team that won't feature in the World Cup. Gattuso will not play. Neither will Toni nor will Pepe. Half the team will be different next year. I'm not saying I agree with this tactic, but it is what he's doing. There's no other explanation. The silly changes are nothing like Lippi.

Why would he do that?

 

[Salvatore]

Still,Forza Azzurri.Let's beat some Brazilian ass.

That would be brilliant after all the fawning over the Brazilians I heard today.

And you guys are laughing at me for not believing this silly excuse?

 

[Seven]

Why would he do that?

Because deep down he knows Italy suck. And it's not just this generation. The next one isn't good enough. So he's going for a surprise tactic. The Azzurri who will play the first group game in next year's World Cup will be a big surprise to everyone. And Cassano will be among them.

 

[Seven]

It's not an excuse. Losing is losing.
