[Catenaccio]

I laugh when people were saying things were going well before the red card. It wasn't.

We showed zero threat in front of goal. You need to be able to do that even if you are defending. Prandelli clearly went for the draw. I'm sorry but that kind of attitude will never make you a winner. Only a loser. And thats what he is - a clear loser. I hope they fire him and hire someone else. Problem is I can't think of anyone better that would be available. I would love to see Ancelotti as the national coach but thats not going to happen. Expect some guy like Spaletti to take charge, screw up at the Euros and then have Ancelotti take over for the world cup in Russia.

You have plenty of good italian coaches out there, one of them from the team which ironically we all root for.

Try to find one that doesn't love catenaccio for 2nd half and you might pull it off next time.

Prandelli is a fuckin puppet... Gazzetta Calls for 3-5-2 with immobile and balo and he does it....i hoped he would change this fucked up italian mentality and play an offensive game but oh well

 

[Joe]

Does Italy go forward with Prandelli or is it time for a new coach to have a shot?

 

[Salvo]

I don't know if anyone is worth hiring as opposed to Prandelli. Allegri?

Tell that to Zach.

IMO is ok to defend with purpouse, but thats wasnt the case for this Italy. They were barely hanging on, without creating anything good forward..even when having an offensive enought line up. The played bad IMO.
This is the same mentality i hate from Juventus and is the reason we never win shid in knock out games.

I think Uruguay mustered one shot from a tight angle before the red. Italy was barely hanging on?

 

[Ocelot]

Prandelli is decent, the only two Italian coaches who could do better imo are Conte and Ancellotti.

We all know no foreigner is getting this job.

 

[Emmet]

Keep the faith with Prandelli, he has taken the team far from the cliche about past Italian teams, he thinks modern.

He screwed up at the tournament, but the fact is he was let down by a dearth of good Italian players, in the '90s Italy were spoilt for choice, nowadays Prandelli has precious little to work with.

Prandelli is a $#@!in puppet... Gazzetta Calls for 3-5-2 with immobile and balo and he does it....i hoped he would change this $#@!ed up italian mentality and play an offensive game but oh well

Also, he said that he was not going to use those 2 tgether unless it was forced on him... but he fielded those 2 anyways well aware that it was a weird gamble that could back fire. He left out Rossi for insigne who was barely used and italy needed creativity upfront so much.

Weird calls

They were not good, you know it. Uruguay looked to wanting it more the whole game, they attacked with a pupouse , unlike Italy and their hoff ball game which failed against CR and today it failed even worst.
Truth hurts

The man left home Rossi.

 

[juventus4life]

Conte is not good at competitions.

 

[Ocelot]

The man left home Rossi.

His only real fault though.

Gigi had his double stop on the sharp angle, and the beauty on Suarez, but Uruguay hadn't done much. At one point fairly deep into the first half Italy was pushing something like 64% possession, think they finished around 60% in that half.

Tough loss, but lots of mistakes along the way.

 

[Mister]

ALERT: FIGC President and figures will hold the Press conference, not Prandelli. Possible resignation/sacking.

 

[Salvo]

Would be stupid at this point. To do it this early.

 

[Emmet]

The man left home Rossi.

One of his only mistakes, but if he wasn't fit enough what was he to do?

Muslera didn't make a save in the whole game except a Pirlo free kick
