btw prandelli should really consider benching balo for the the tandem cerci-ciro

Could be a good option, bringing Balo on later might be a nice option off the bench as well.

best way to break tight defenses are quick short passes, and for that you need some chemistry, and those 2 obviously got it.

I would even have suggested Insigne Immobile before the Costa Rica game but he was horrible. I still think 3 at the back is the way to go. If DDR is out I'm not sure if I'd go with Verratti or more defensive and give Motta another chance. Perhaps Parolo?

you nationalist?
I am a fan of Italy 20 years since '94 and I do not care that I have no single drop of Italian

I'm Anti-globalist. If that makes me a nationalist, then so be it, but I don't support the US Government on their various excursions into complete idiocy.

It's impossible to hate people like Asif, Hoori & Rab.

Just be honest, you hate people that support the football giants like Brazil, Italy etc & then hate on your team especially when their national team will never qualify for any big tournament.

I have a soft spot for those folks, but I still find it idiotic to support a nation other than your own. They have come to terms with my opinion in regards to that matter. But I still have never received a good answer as to why it makes sense to support a nation other than your own unless you have specific family ties to it, or have lived there for an extended period of time. It does not, and never will, make practical sense.

Ridiculous reason to hate anyone for that imho.

I couldn't care less.

Stick to your own nation I say. Following another is just pure retarded.

Well yes, it is retarded. Especially since international football is based solely on... wait for it... nationality!

Actually it's retarted to think that a fan of a football can't root for other football national team besides his home country just because he wasn't born there or lives there.

If so, then why doesn't FIFA simply wipe out all of the nationality eligibility rules so that anybody of any nationality can play for any nation? Huh?

Well of course, because then it would be fuucking CLUB FOOTBALL!

If your nation isn't in the competition, then just don't watch it, or go spend a day at the beach or something. I don't know what else to tell people. I'm not cheering for somebody in Copa America or the Euros because I'm such a fantastic football loving fan!

Give me a break. That is a pathetic excuse.

Exactly.

It should not even be a discussion actually...just some people make a drama about it,when there is no problem really.
Just supporting a sports and football team.

It will always be a discussion because it's simply moronic.

Just wait and see tomorrow, just wait and see, X.

If I see Greg rooting for Portugal over the US, then I will give it to him for sure. But I don't think he will.

motta aquilani should paly ahead of him. Maybe prandelli can experiment possibly having chiellini play a dm like pepe did for mou.

 

[swag]

The Italian Mascherano

 

[GordoDeCentral]

reverse mascherano

Make Chiello the deep lying playmaker, take out Pirlo. Oh and Forza Italia Andy

Buona Sera!

I support the black Canadian assistant-referee.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

i support the right to bear arms and stand your ground to shoot the black canadian referee with impunity

 

[Mark]

He did a great job.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

It's over if De Rossi is out. We have no one that can replace him.

 

[Salvo]

Buona Sera!

Buongiorno!

Bosnian keeper played in the U-20's with Canada and Netherlands worst player was born here too.

Pirlo finally in his natural position.

It's just wrong.
one thing is to be a player and represent your country as it is your work,other thing is just being a fan,and this is just your hobby.
and yes those 2 are different things.

Player can't chose(mostly) which country to play for.
But the fan,being just a fan,can chose what to like or not,and it's just dumb that you think you can tell someone else to "NOT LIKE" or "NOT WATCH" other national teams.

ofcourse i will not say that i am italian,becuase i'm not,and ofcourse i'm not singing their anthem or something.
But not to follow and root for the football team?ffs why?

i'm sorry man but this is really stupid imo and i don't agree on it.

But if that's your opinion,so be it man...

TIL you can't support other national football squads because it's retarded Why do people are so stupid

Agree,3 at the back.
Immobile-Cerci/Insigne upfront is the way.

Pretty sure it will be Verratti-Pirlo-Marchisio in the middle.

You root for your country by default because you live there,even if you don't like the team/quality actually.
But you can like other team style of play and their football.

Actually, it's retarded to think that a fan of Palestine can't root for any other football national team besides his home country because you refuse to allow it to exist.

Go fuck yourself, you son of a bitch. This is America, telling you to fuck yourself.

[king Ale]

You may not be a fan of the Azzurri's (I'm not anymore) but it's impossible (and rather retarded) to not have a soft spot for them if you are a Juve fan.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

So you are saying if one is a Juve fan, he or she must be an Azzurri homer just on sheer principle?

Not so smart huh?
I was talking only football...you bring up politics and start cursing...
I won't do the same.

I really should just ignore you.
