Modric is an attacking midfielder?

He's played both central and attacking

and no, Isco is not the best attacking mid in the world


Moratta looked like a god on the pitch against this Italy

Let's not get carried away

Wtf was that PSG fodder doing on the pitch? Why would you start IT when there are real Calcio midfielders available like Goatolivo?

Get Prandelli back

Modric doesn't play attacking midfielder for Real Madrid or Croatia. Hard to rate him in a position he hasn't played since who knows when.

Morata looked crap imo. Got out ran by 50 year old Barzagli and not sure what he was doing when he was through on gosl and waited until taking an awful left footed shot.

- Awful performance by the whole Azurri.

- Also, Turkey looked very pathetic vs Ukraine. TBH, our boy Hakan look really bad.

Lost 3-0 to Spain u-21 yesterday :lol:

Ceballos was making them eat from his palm.

These Italians are groomed at every level for what's coming.

Wtf 3-0? Qué?

:cry:

insigne will go back to irrelevance when sarri leaves

Pretty much. Classic choker enjoying a purple patch under Sarri. Goes back to factory settings moment he enters a big tournament with squadra.

Italy would have put up a fight today with a better coach

That's not rocket science

The tactics were so bad, the team mentally checked out

3-0 under any coach.

Spain would just have to increase output from 40% to 42%.

There is no compensation for gulf in skill and class if Spain decide to play.

IN: Goatolivo, Conte, Chiellini, Dolla, Giaccherini
OUT: Ventura, Buffon, nameless LB, PSG fodder,


Spain would be lucky to nick a point

I take responsibility for my actions.

I strive to improve the lives of others, not ruin.

I hope that one of these days I can make you smile.

Lol @ all the Verratti bashing. He had a bad game, but end of the day, he's the only world class talent that Italy have other than their defence.

They should go for Ansh*tlotti after he fails again with Bayern.

He is Xavi reborn, but even better because he's Italian and not a pussy.

Put him in the proper system (not a proper 4-4-2), he dominates.

It is actually well known in footballing circles that Xavi was the one using his Qatari influence to block the Verratti move to Barca earlier this summer.

Xavi was concerned that his legacy will be overwritten after Verratti dominates in his position and Iniesta declares him to be his new best friend.
