The Bianconeri also helped Pinto neutralise Mario Balotelli, who had said beforehand he didn’t know any of the Costa Rica players.

“He knows us very well now,” smiled the Coach. “We have a lot of respect for Balotelli and watched him play everywhere, at club and international level.


he's quite gleeful isn't he complimenti

“We will beat Italy with their own history: defend and counter-attack,”Muslera told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

With all the jokes and laughs we've had on the 352 energy saving. It's the formation for this tournament. Darmian isn't know for his great defending and will allow him to push forward more. Keeping possession is key especially with the humidity.

After last night, I thought Uruguay were favourites to qualify, but after I read Cavani's and Muslera's Celtic'esque comments, I think they'll crash and burn.

Not worth going into, it would take too long to explain.

I don't know they'll still be very dangerous. Costa Rica did the same thing and Italy wasn't able to break through, if Uruguay sit back all day I don't think Italy will be able to break through again and Suarez will hurt Italy on the break.

“We will beat Italy with their own history: defend and counter-attack,”Muslera told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Cesare Prandelli’s squad is strong. Gigi Buffon is a legend, Andrea Pirlo is the starting point for every move and the Juventus block represents the soul of the side.”

I don't understand why it's Italy that needs to go on the attack though. They need the draw, so not sure about Cavani and Muslera's comments.

Uruguay will defend? Lol, good luck convincing the Italians to attack you.

 

[Joe]

That's very true. But Suarez will kill Italy if they defend for 90mins.

I love how everyone always trashes the 3/5/2 but now all the teams that are successful in this wc are using it but we decide to abandon it

Sky Sport reports that De Rossi certainly will miss the match against URU because of a problem in his right calf.

Yea seems likely. He didn't do much against Costa Rica so it may be a blessing in disguise

Iran defending against Uruguay for 91mins gives me hope that Italy can escape with a draw against Uruguay.

EDIT: whoops Argentina!
