see? Conte is a genius ! the 3/5/2 is the best formation ever!! Every successful team is using it in this WC... Ironically Italy was using it too until the WC but Prandelli decided to go away from it... now he will implement it, hopefully its not too late! :bianconero:

What is this issue with north and south games related to humidity ?

6 games played in north between Europeans & non-Europeans. Europeans have won just 1 game. Croatia 4-0 Cameroon

In 7 games played by Europeans when previous match had been in north, record is W1 D2 L4

Italy & Germany have been massively done over by Fifa with location of their games. All 3 group games in north, 2 each at 1300 local time.

Playing at 1300 is inhumane in such humidity, playing twice in 4 days at 1300 is torture

Completely unfair that Italy & Germany play 3 games in north, while likes of Argentina play all games in south

Fifa should have located teams fairly so that games were shared equally between north & south

Prandelli is furious with Fifa. He is keeping quiet as needs to retain focus ahead of Uruguay but he will go public when Italy go out.

Croatia showed almost nothing in this game before the goal. but i seriously cant explain wtf happened in those 10 minutes, its like they have fallen apart totally after the 1st goal. on the other side, Mexico has shown that they are a well organized team and they will cause the Dutch some serious problems in the next game.

Fifa has always been disgusting. Nothing beats their Refs though.... Not sure where they are from but man... They are biased.

The favors to brazil are getting out of hand at this point.

Guess who are the two biggest sides to cause an upset to them historically ? Yeah, Italy an Germany.

It's not the best formation ever. Like every formation you need the players to fit the system you are using. For Italy 3/5/2 make sense because of the players we have.

Imagine playing in Quatar. Absurd.

I'm throwing the doping card in the face of the South and North American teams. It's hard to believe that they are so superior physically to their European counterparts. It's just a matter of time until one of those spicks fails the doping test.
