Italy scored 2 extra goals but both were called off becasue the ref said they were offside
San Marino were lucky as hell and their GK had a few Buffon-esque saves
And you should know that Italy always choke in friendlies and never finish off weaker opponents

I wouldn't call it choking if there's no dedication
Italia only plays well when it matters

that brings the honest q.

who wins a footrace- abate or balotelli

i suppose it depends on distance.

20m, 50m, 100m?


I got abate over 100m. I think I take Balo in 20M

I read that Abate was the fastest Milan player ever, so I'm gonna go with him. Balotelli seems heavier than Abate so I'm pretty sure Abate is more explosive as well.

Over 20m, I'd say Shaarawy is quicker than both of them. 100m would be Abate without a doubt! :D

I'd think Abate would win in all 3, 100m definitely.
Abate's stupidly quick.

They are....but they joined the team yesterday because of the Serie B/A play-off with Empoli.

In any case, Italy is playing good. The future is bright. They are a class above England in the game play as of right now. Not too many chances but they have the ball almost the entire time and working it nicely changing between short and long exchanges.

England....as always....back to their - "boot the ball 50 meters forward and go chase it if possible - kick and run" tactics. I really don't understand why their National Team gets the respect they get. Not a single creative player on the ball....just physical athletes and runners. They have played sh!t football on the national level for years and years now. Why are they even considered a big team?(in terms of national teams)

Huh? Abate would probably win all 3 of them, but if he loses one then it has to be 100m. Tall sprinters tend to do better on 100m and 200m than 60m or 20m. They usually end it better than they start it. Balo is almost 10cm taller than Abate.
