If we need a draw to get past NZ, then I don't want to win that draw.

I'd love it. Italy qualifies and then plays Holland. The orange tend to choke. Italy in the quarter finals and then everything is up for grabs . How cruel it would be.

Yeah but having to win a draw to get ahead of NZ is so undignified. I'd rather they let NZ through based on their lower FIFA ranking.

Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.

No way, Italy would deserve it more because they're the current World Champions. Fuck NZ, Holland would rape them anyway

Miccoli was injured anyway, but Cossu should at least have gone instead of Camoranesi.

its astounding how often lippi will just throw the first half away by fielding players that don't perform in the position he puts them.

he could have known after the first game that gilardino sucks as centre forward, that marchisio is no trequartista and that vicenzo is awful on the wing ... hey thought in the first game "oh, this did not work so i will change something at halftime" and yet the next game he starts again with the formation and player setup that just did not work ... this is sabotage !

di natale has to play and since gilardino sucked, please put pazzini in for him (or even iaquinta there) ... and please leave marchisio on the bench if you got no other spot then trequartista for him...

lippi is really showing his age ... old, stubborn ... wait a few years and we have another domenech !

we played less than 30 minutes of the game how we were supposed to ... what kind of strategy is that ? let the opponent score some goals and than catch up ?

Sure, in terms of general appeal it would be better if Italy made it through, but the fact that they're the current World Champion makes it all the more undignified to get past NZ by winning a draw.

Italy hope ASAP, please. Juve players to get some rest before the season starts in a month.

I don't think dropping out in the group stage is going to help our players perform well in the next season. Also Camo needs 3 months of rest if he is to rediscover his true form. I really like him but at this point I'm not expecting him to shine anymore.

What if..?

 

[Yamen]

Not sure if he would ad any value as the whole team isnt dynamic for some reason. On paper they are good but once in the field they all get mixed up.

Cassano doesn't need the friggin' team.

 

[Yamen]

probably not.

What if DP then?

Our season starts on July 30th. If Italy stay at the WC until July, half of Juve's team won't have any time to rest at all.

I'd like Italy to be eliminated anyway, but this only adds to my reasons for wanting that.

Thanks God some important players like Diego or Del Piero will be fresher.

IMO they should try to pass off Del Piero as Gilardino.

Del Piero's relationship with the NT isn't great and he's not a one man team anymore. Cassano however is.

Quag's going to make the all important goal against Slovakia, but after that Italy will need a miracle.

The Azzurri blow but still can make it next round. They won't go far though. Bah, at least Juve players will get a little rest.

 

[Yamen]

I hope they qualify, for the sake of football watchers. What good is WC if big guns fallout at the group stage.

Four years ago virtually everyone who played the final was either playing for Juventus or had played for Juventus before.

Yeah but I guess Moggi rigged that also.
