Do you guys think Prandelli will field a "B" team on Friday? It is your easiest match, but I would love to watch more Pirlo midfield porn.
nah, never in the second match. If they lose they're hosed. The pressure is on actually.

No way, Prandelli's pretty good about fielding the best available team within reason for matches that matter. Friendlies are another story, but that makes sense.

I think I'd prefer we try out Parolo over Motta if we're not gonna field Verratti.

At the very least Parolo could come on as a sub, but I reckon he's got enough pace to make up for Pirlo/De Rossi.

Gigi Galli posted:

Verratti has this move called "changing directions" that Motta lacks.

:lol:

Motta is washed up but maybe being a native he deals with the weather better? I don't know. Maybe it's a Prandelli plan to rest key guys (not Paletta) figuring it's "only" Costa Rica.

The sad reality of this drat group is that even if Italy win tomorrow, they still aren't guaranteed to qualify. They could lose to Uruguay and Costa Rica could beat England, then you'd have a nice 3 way tie for first and second....

Looking ahead in knockouts Italy are getting Columbia or Ivory Coast probably. And then it's a matter of the winner of Mexico/Brazil vs Netherlands/Chile. Avoiding either of those second round of knockouts South Americans would probably be best.
