I aint find any that works but i dont mind. So whats happened for far? i guess Di Natale is sure of a starting place then.

 

[Stu]

All of the players on the pitch look like worthy starters except maybe Panucci.

2-0 Di Natale

in the opening 25 minutes or so Belgium were playing really bad and Italy could have scored more than one goal. the goal was really good, i think Camo passed that ball, and di Natale volleyed it in, being almost horizontally in the air. after these 25 mins both teams were eaqually good/bad till di Natale scored one more - terrible mistake by defender and easy goal for Antonio - 2:0. really cant wait to see Del Piero on the pitch, i think he or/and Cassano will come on in second half.

Half time. Only one team showed up in the first half.

 

[Stu]

Canna, Panucci and DN out. Chiellini, Grosso and DP in.

 

[pitbull]

DP + Camo = goal. 3:0!

 

[Stu]

Brilliant combination from DP and Camo. 3-0.

Thats what i like to hear!

 

[Stevie]

hows Del Piero been playing then?

 

[Christina]

Can't really judge, as the team had already secured a win so they weren't trying much.

Anyway, I like the combo of DP-Camo-Toni and the one that started. I also like how Del Piero and Cassano linked up, but they didn't have enough touches to really judge IMO

A few points on the game:

- Barzagli had a very good game imo
- It was good to see that DP was given a free roaming role upfront rather than
the left sided hugging role Di Natale plays (who is a good player btw)
- Aquilani plays great, he should definately be ahead of Perrotta in the pecking
order
- Boriello's sitter miss makes you realise just how bad an idea Pippo not going
could be(he just seems low on confidence and doesnt seem like he would
find picking himself up easy the way a veteran like Inzaghi would)
- Why does Pirlo's set piece taking suck sooooo much now?

Can someone please link with me Buffon's gravity defying save (as Goal.com put it)?

Not sure I was anything like that, though I did catch the game 15 mins in. Only saw him make 1 routine-ish save near the end

Yup, it wasn't that much of a shock. The save is in the multimedia section, Craka.

Thanks.

Which leads me to an important question....When Dp is on the pitch why does he not take the freekicks himself....i know Pirlo is good, but i think Dp should surely take some of those direct FKs

 

[Christina]

They didn't have any direct kicks when DP was on.
