So Gazetta is suggesting Italy will go 3-5-2?

How can they do that?

---------------Buffon--------------
--------Chiell-Barza-Bonucc--------
Maggio------------------------????
---------De ross-Pirlo-Rango
---------Cassano-----Balo---------

No TQ? Who can play LWB?

-------------------Buffon----------------------
-----Barzagli------De Rossi-------Chiellin---------
--Maggio------------Pirlo---------------Balzaretti-
------------Marchisio----Nocerino/Montolivo------
-------------------------Cassano/Giovinco-------
---------------Balotelli--------------------------

what a horrible attacking line, should have taken Osvaldo

SpartanMilan · Jun 3, 2012

Osvaldo is garbage. No De Rossi?

Either Balzaretti or Giaccherini will play the far left role

I think this is better. There is no trequartista on the team then why play a 4-3-1-2 anyway? Its a waste of a spot playing Montolivo there. 3-5-2 can be better. Maybe Bonucci will have less brainfarts playing in a 3 man (wishful thinking but still :rolleyes:

) . I think Balzac can easily play as LWB . Even giaccherini can play on the left side as he has done for juBe. This formation also brings out the best in Maggio which is another huge bonus

Pedro · Jun 3, 2012

Cassano, Balotelli
Giaccherini , Marchisio, Pirlo, De Rossi, Maggio
Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli (works with Juve)
Buffon

no solid trequarista, so 3-5-2, and I think it's good to have pace (and some attacking skill) wide, so Giaccherini can play

Costanza · Jun 3, 2012

I just learned they won the 82 WC after a huge match-fixing scandal.

So let's get ready for Azzuri to win Euro

Spot on. All competing countries felt so bad for Serie A after Calciopoli 2006, they just gave away the World Cup to Italy.

How was 2006 fixed?

The only shady WC in the last two decades was the 2002 one in Korea

Now THAT was fixed

De Rossi in the middle of a 3 man defence

Osvaldo is better than all the strikers we took to the euros because he is the only one who can play in the box and he can create his chances too... in my formation he would be more useful than a SS

Costanza · Jun 4, 2012

2006, fixed? You mean Zidane was told to bang Matrix beforehand?

Costanza · Jun 4, 2012

Olic missed the Euros, good news for Italy.

Charbel · Jun 4, 2012

Italy U-21 game against Ireland U-21 just started. El Shaarawy, Paloschi, and Romagnoli are all on the bench.

milanpalermo23 · Jun 4, 2012

Barzagli is out for 20 days so he is now in doubt for the EUROS.

WTFFFFFFF He gets hurt for Italia, but stays perfectly fit for juve the whole season.

Xudong · Jun 4, 2012

Of course WC 2006 was fixed. Sepp Blatter was too excited that Italy instead of France won, that he decided not to be present at the ceremony.

dhorasoo · Jun 4, 2012

Haha, now Barzagli is out injured? This Euro Cup is gonna be a disaster for Italy, I'm afraid. Who are they gonna play? Bonucci? Call up Rannocchia? Raise Cannavaro from the dead?

20 days? that pretty much rules him out for most of the tournament.

sources?

Barzagli: EUROS at risk

Sage · Jun 4, 2012

I see

so is prandelli going to switch to a 3-5-2 against spain? :lol:

dhorasoo · Jun 4, 2012

He was planning to do so, but now... who knows? I don't even think Prandelli knows yet.

Considering his performance against Russia that's a good news.
Just replace him with Acerbi.

or ..... Ranocchia..

'kay...

Truth hurts, doesn't it?

The realization that the only major trophy that Ronnietta actually won may have been fixed? :lol:

Sage · Jun 4, 2012

problem with italy, the midfielders roles are very limited.

horse face fairy can only play at anchor, de rossi excels at anchor, montolivo is a CM or can play as an anchor, thiago motta is an anchor, marchisio/nocerino are CMs that are jack of all trades type players, but mainly b2b.

his 3 best midfielders play their best in 1 position, that's fucked up.

the only players who offer something different are diamanti and giaccharini, diamanti is an alright player who had a good season while giaccharini isn't even a regular at his club.
