So he has a hat trick now?

I thought when I saw him score last it was to tie the game at 3.

Iaquinta is a beast, banging them in for italia as well as Juventus

 

[abejaa]

I've been saying this for quite long time, that Iaquinta is the best striker we have at JUVENTUS I just love that guy, and his spirit. He runs the whole game

 

[CalcioJuventus]

It will be hard for Amauri to get his spot back from Iaquinta nest season...

Lippi: It was a training session
Wednesday 10 June, 2009
Marcello Lippi concedes the hard-fought 4-3 friendly win over New Zealand was “a good training session.”

The World Cup winners were trailing to the All-Blacks three times in this game in Pretoria, which acted as a warm-up for both in the Confederations Cup.

“It was a training session and this is what we needed tonight, which is why I left out most of the 'veterans,'” said the Coach.

Lippi had stated he already knew the starting XI against USA next Monday will not be this one, so he gave others the chance to make their mark.

Marco Amelia did himself no favours, as three howlers gave New Zealand their goals and the defending from set plays was dire.

“We made mistakes and paid for them, but then made up for that in the end,” added Lippi.

“There were good and bad things, which is normal. Errors are always worrying, obviously, but it was a good training session.”

I'm not too impressed by a team that consists (mostly) of Serie A stars, that has problems with a completely inferior team

it doesnt matter if they arent our starters, they still are worlds better than New Zealands entire team, and there are no excuses

 

[Hust]

I agree. I wasn't completely aware new zealand has a full team. And how we went behind twice was not acceptable.

It was completely Amelia's fault for all he goals. His performance was shockingly terrible and with Buffon in goal Italy would have kept a clean sheet.

Aren't you American?

 

[Vinman]

Aren't you American?

an Italian-American

 

[Seven]

Which makes you an American, Vinny. You're just enough Italian to support the Azzurri

 

[Bjerknes]

Aren't you American?

an Italian-American

You're going to support the Azzurri over us? Your own country?

You ain't no patriot, Vinster.

 

[Seven]

He didn't say that, Andy. But given the history of Italian Americans he might and there might be a very good reason too.

 

[Bjerknes]

You can stick those reasons on a boat and ship them back to Italy, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Seven]

It's a thing immigrants do. Even if they are third or fourth generation immigrants. And why blame them? You're the ones who keep calling them Italians.

 

[Bjerknes]

I'm a fourth generation immigrant. You don't see me waiving German flags.

 

[Seven]

Yeah, the Germans, those are the ones who have always been marginalised by Americans. Damn right, Andy.
