I am fully aware of that, but found it ironic that the Brazilian born player was the one complaining about the weather

He was absolutely horrific in that game. Him and Abate were arguably the worst players out there. Costa Rica are a decent/solid side. They are very organized and disciplined, but at the end of the day, they are still Costa Rica and Italy should've won that game.

It's the heat, guys. The heat destroyed us. Weather and Italians don't go too well.

 

[Ocelot]

That, and the team not giving two shits about the match. It even kinda makes sense if you think about: They saw that pushing for a win against this Costa Rica team in the form of their life and full of momentum and motivation would be difficult and costly in terms of stamina, especially in this climate, and a loss by one goal doesn't make any difference to them compared to a draw. They still mustn't lose against Uruguay.

When i see Marchisio crawling off the field more dead then alive, after 69 minutes, i'll believe it.

Motta didnt had his best game but motivation, as allways, plays a big part in italy's game.
He'll show up

With De Rossi out injured, I can totally see Italy reverting to a hybrid 3-5-2. Prandelli is worried about Saurez and Cavani

Buffon
Barzagli Bonucci Chiellini
Darmian Motta Pirlo Marchisio De Sciglio
Candreva
Balotelli​

or

Buffon
Barzagli Bonucci Chiellini
Darmian Verratti Pirlo Motta De Sciglio
Marchisio
Balotelli

The Uruguayan defence is not good

The Uruguayan defence is not good

Their attack hasn't showed much either.

 

[alexjuventino]

Besides Suarez. I am not worried as much as I was against Costa Rica. Costa Rica was solid and didn't leave much room for Italy to exploit, Uruguay on the other hand has no midfield nor defence, which I am hoping Italy takes advantage of.

Italy the only game this wc playing all 3 group games in the 3 northern Brasilian cities aka the amazon/super tropical region. To boot their last 2 groups games are at 1pn. Thank you FIFA and go to hell !

I'm much more worried about Uruguay than I was against Costa Rica. I thought we'd get a positive result against CR.

How is that even fair?

Time schedule is mostly due to accomodate European viewers. I agree that venues are a bit silly.

Why is it that Andy hates the Azzurri so much yet that didn't stop him from wearing the Azzuri's jersey, took pictures in it and even uploaded them to Facebook

I didn't know a blue Nedved Juventuz away kit was an Azzurri shirt.

It's funny how Andy says nothing about Greg in all of this.

Greg's wife is Portuguese, he has a better reason than, "an uncle one time was flying to Bosnia and flew over Italy" which 35% of you jamokes do.

My my lady is German and South African, I now like those countries more than I have in the past, does not mean I'm pulling for the Bokke the next Rugby World Cup though, either. However, it gives me something to identify with.

 

[Joe]

What do you guys think of an Immobile - Balotelli duo upfront in a 3-5-2? I think it could work, I'm just not so sure Prandelli will even think of it.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

I lied, Aziz was the one wearing it.

Enron, Aziz, me, Dru, Tahir, Andy, Henry.

I think that since they are Italian, that sucks.

Tahir looks rather confused.

It's even more sad that his wife made him root against his own country. He should be able to stand up for himself.

I think it's my reaching hand job on drunk Andy.

I don't think he ROOTS against his own country, at least I've not seen somewhere where he's said that.

He certainly will root against his own country tonight, that's for sure.
