yeah no Verratti, no De Rossi, no Chiellini, no Bonucci, no Buffon, no Balotelli, no Rossi.... so most of the best players are out. I would like to see a full strength Italy under Conte. I think it would do well.

Conte should also start calling up Berardi instead of continuing to call up Immobile. Berardi really deserves to be playing for Italy over many of the guys in the current team. He probably deserves to be a starter in the team called today
Don't you know? Conte adores how Immobile is a mediocre Italian ss, that's why he left us after we sold him.

Bonucci is playing. Berardi is in U21 squad, and I think once his commitment is over there he'll be called up

there is a bit of a difference between missing one starter and missing 6 or 7. either way friendly loss is no biggie
I think you missed the point of the match. It's June and two federations wanted to make some extra cash with a friendly in Switzerland where they could try out some of their alternates.

My bad, forgot Bonucci was there. I was watching the game too haha.

I think Vazquez is a good player. He should get more playing time for Italy. He had a really nice shot right at the end.

Maybe a Balotelli----Berardi with Vazquez behind them trident or Balotelli-Rossi with Vazquez behind them once Rossi is back in shape. He is training again and recovered from the surgery I heard (hopefully nothing else happens to him.. I feel bad for the guy)

yeah you are right

Is Balotelli injured or is he not getting called up because he is not starting for Liverpool? I think he should be the starting forward for Italy if he is playing for Liverpool or not as Immobile and Matri are no where near as good.

Guam? Really??
That's what we get for playing 3-4 games a year. We played like a team and lost respectfully vs Oman. Versus Guam we played like shit. Their ground was like a training ground with a make shift stand on one side. In the live stream, we could see the other side completely open which was a parking lot :D Like someone said, there's more people stuck in a traffic jam in Mumbai than the entire population of Guam and we can't field a half decent team.

u-20 world cup going to extra time. Pereira looks good. Danilo playing.

Brazilian keeper was praying before extra time with rosary beads. As soon as I saw that I knew they would lose. Maximovic scores for Serbia. 2 mins left. 2-1
