Yeah have to say, didn't like the way Italy defended at all in the last couple of years. Prandelli needs to sort that out as much as he can over the next few weeks.

He knew that with 352/361 he could tie Spain's tiki-taka in that final, like Italy did in the group stage, yet he turned on his stubborn mode and used his one and only 4312 formation with injured Chiello as left fullback And that Tiago Motta's sub too many mistakes for the 1 game, toooooooo maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany
Lol yeah using the 4-3-1-2 in the final was the biggest facepalm move he did in the Euro final. He did learn his lesson a year later in the Confeds, were Italy pushed Spain to the limit and deserved to win the game IMO.

3421 should only be used against Spain and other nations with similar playstyle
against the Germany's and Brazils a 433 Insigne/-Balo/Rossi/Immobile-Cerci/Candreva or 4312 with Cassano as trequartista should be used

I disagree. I believe it can work against Brazil because they just naturally attack and we take them on a the counter... Its embedding in them to attack. For years Italy strengthen lies in out thinking other opponents. Please dont let it stop now... Hopefully Prandelli dont play he wants to go head to head with another nation and play the same formation as them. "England Columbia and Uruguay" Not a walk in the park. Start that 3-4-2-1 FIRST GAME!!!
It is pretty bad on paper, but that same lineup dominated Spain at the CC last year. Had they had a more competent striker than Gilashitcunt, they might have won that game.
