What was Bonucci doing on the second goal? Instead of going in strong on the block, he turned around to get the best view of the goal.

Both Barzagli and Bonucci shouldn't be starting for Italy if it's a 4 men defence. Barzagli is old as hell and Bonucci's biggest quality is passing as he's just average on defending. Rugani and Romagnoli should start to be eased in.

De Rossi is getting old as well. No need for 2 strikers here it should've been a 4-4-3.

so you want players who can't start in their clubs to be starter in the NT.

and you want to play with 12 players.

interesting post.

Borini should be a strong contender for right wing by about now.

Totally outclassed tactically.. and no subs till the 70th minute. Amazing.

Darmian sending in those mindless crosses :fp:

Ventura is nuts. Still sticking to 2 men in the midfield against Spain. A tactical n00b would have added a midfielder in the 2nd half.

Got outclassed tactically and he swaps out like for like players.

Isco... best player on the pitch

Moratta just got his pants pulled down and spanked by Barzagli

I guess he returned the favor

Contract extension prior to this match was a molto bad idea, Tavecchio.

Belotti wasn't doing shit

maybe it had something to do with the supporting cast being utterly useless.....case in point Cuntdreva

:lol:

Very obedient team, this italy.

Spain asked them to roll over and play dead and it was executed to perfection.
