Nah, doesn't really do anything for my care cup.

On a scale of 1 to Badass, how empty is it right now?

Don't know if it was posted already but a Mexican website is saying hackers hacked into FIFA's internal servers and found the groups are already set.

Guess we'll know tomorrow how true this is.

Group A: England getting creamed and utterly humiliated

Group C: Sorry for the Aussies here, but they might ship in a record number of goals. I see the Dutch going out early if that group transpires/materializes

Italy will struggle in that group. Ivory Coast actually suck, but Italy will make life difficult for themselves. Belgium could conceivably finish top.

We shall see tomorrow

Italy would easely top that weak ass group.

Belgium is a danger to many teams, but not italy

 

[Bianconero81]

It'd be interesting to see if some of these groups actually turn out the same. I always feel there is a lot of manipulation that goes about in FIFA and UEFA draw procedures.

watch brazil get a piss easy group

"Hot-balls" heehheeh

Even if the draw is fixed/manipulated, I'm sure they'll change it now so it doesn't look like these people figured it out. So I doubt we'll ever know.

Arturo vs Australia

He'd tear our midfield a new asshole

Alexis would give that fat piece of shit Lucas Neill nightmares forever

Italy to win

Vidal could beat socceroos 1 vs 11

 

[Bianconero81]

You guys are the complete opposite of the English. Zero expectations and no confidence at all

 

[ZoSo]

At least we're being realistic

 

[Bianconero81]

Easy group with Honduras, Ivory Coast, and Belgium = Italy struggling and underestimating the opposition. I don't see how that is so funny or such an inconceivable prospect. Italy finished bottom in a group comprising the likes of Slovakia, New Zealand, and Paraguay in 2010, and struggled in 94 when pitted against the mighty Irish, Mexico, and Norway

 

[ZoSo]

I don't think they'll make the same mistake coming off 2010

Nah, it's just that Belgium are quite overrated. Sure they have plenty of raw talent but they have no experience and their defense is suspect.

This Italy team is also much better than the team Lippi took to South Africa.

I don't expect much from them though for some reason. Quarter Finals maximum (depending on draw of course)

I think they'll do well, especially it Rossi keeps his form.

 

[Bianconero81]

I actually expect Italy to reach the Semis (provided they avoid Brazil and Argentina). I expect one of Spain or Germany to fall at the QF hurdle.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Their attack and midfield is great, but Prandelli insists on playing a back four which seems to leak goals like crazy. A Juve style 3-5-2 (or another variantion of a back 3) would serve them so much better defensively.
