indeed, barring the Juve lads, the current batch really is quite revolting

There isn't really much to like with the Azzurri.

I disagree. But then I'm one of the Azzurri fanboys.

I have to agree.

Thats because you are a Frenchy like Wanker and you like young boys

This is true actually. Everytime Pepe takes the field, I realize how drastically the standards have fallen.

There were players who weren't particularly good in the 2006 team as well, it's just about what a team does at a tournament. The big problem here is that Lippi is trying to pin his hopes on a similar effort as then, with a solid defence and nicking the odd goal to win. Scary thought.

 

[JuveJay]

You could say that some of the players Dunga picks for Brazil are not as good as ones he leaves behind. Lippi doesn't have the same options as Dunga but he will leave behind players who are better technically than many in the squad, because he wants a team unit.

 

[icemaη]

But that team had some great quality to make up for the few not so good ones. This team not so. This one's got a lot of average players.

 

[JuveJay]

In defence, yes. Pirlo was the only player past the defence who really excelled in 2006. Toni was the only striker who scored more than one goal. Totti had a pretty average tournament for me, the same for Camoranesi. Italy basically won it on defence and a few moments of clinical attack. It was all about the team unit, enhanced by Farsopoli.

If you look at the team that starts at the World Cup 2010 I bet it is barely different to the one that won it in 2006. Swap Chiellini for Materazzi, Di Natale for Totti and a striker for Toni and it is the same.

I knew that would come up sometime, i was rather expecting it from Andy though

Yeah, I agree. You could see that in the Confed Cup too...

 

[YasoR17]

I only want to see Marchisio and Chiellini to succeed in the World Cup

 

[Salvatore]

Poor Buffon

Even some of the Juve players are disgusting -- Canna and Grosso.

If one has no connection to the country, I have no idea how one can like that group of thugs. The fact that some folks around here like Materazzi after 2006 reveals quite a lot about how they're easily swayed.

 

[JuveJay]

This World Cup is the swansong for this group anyway, I'm sure people will hate the next bunch just as much though, especially if Balotelli is in it

 

[king Ale]

I hate many players of the Azzurri squad but I'd still love them to do well in the World Cup because my favorite players are playing for them.

 

[Nicholas]

Has Lippi announced the squad yet? if he does not take Cassano/Totti then Italy can say goodbye to the World Cup.

 

[Salvatore]

Yeah.

I have to offer you a warning, the contents in the link may offend you.

 

[JuveJay]

I can see Totti going perhaps, if he is fit.

 

[Alen]

For Andy:

Azzurrini's team today

Italy U21: Mannone; De Silvestri, Ariaudo, Ogbonna, Bellusci; Schelotto, Poli, Bolzoni, Borini ; Okaka, Balotelli

Three black Italians and one Argie :eyebrows:

 

[JuveJay]

Italy have actually played some really good stuff against Cameroon at times, Di Natale and Cossu amongst the best of it.

 

[JuveJay]

Ok it has gone a bit crap now, Pazzini is messing everything up as well. Anyway I think I am in the wrong thread

 

[v1rtu4l]

i've had enough of this shit. i closed the stream ... this second half looks just like juve under ferrara ... no one running .. a few chickenheads running in circles ... no one actually caring ... oh boy ...

cossu might really excel in the national team, though, because he is a player who excells in small weak teams and i don't know if that was the tactic behind it, but lippi made us a small and weak team... perhaps to accomodate the crap players (pepe & co) he brings instead of the quality (cassano&co) available...

i am often sceptic when del piero plays, but right now i would even prefer him on the pitch that quacka-rella
