It's not a bad team but it is very much the B team. Italy always starts slow in tournaments and hasn't been good in friendlies for a long time. It's no excuse really, it really should be much better.

That was a great goal, but Immobile was offside.

People with cameras in the crowd with their flashes make me cringe.

Edit: Italy also needs a Luigi (not. Gianluigi) and a Japanese national turned Azzuri named Yoshi to go with Mario up top.

I hope Thiago Motta gets cut after the abysmal display but since we're already down two midfielders he'll be starting every match Im sure.

Yeah like I said, since leaving Inter he's nosedived. See if Donovan wants an Italian passport, I'll let him borrow mine.

Cassano seems sharp, looks like Prandelli's decision to bring him in might be a good one.

Right, but he hadn't played with Italy since the 2012 Euro finals, so it was considered a bit of a surprise when he was called up.

Thiago Motta is not coming, take Cerci and/or Cassano.

Based on that shitshow Thiago Motta, Paletta and one of Darmian and De Scilgio need to go home. The first two were unwatchable, the two babbies were pretty weak.

Watch while you can.

He's really unlucky if he breaks his leg in that fall. Or he's got a lot more speed than I could see in the slow motion rerun.

Reports are in, the team doctor said that Montolivo fractured his tibia. He's obviously out of the team.

Parolo is doing all the moves.

e: Prandelli should unironically call up Poli to replace all these garbagemen and broken fuckers in the midfield.

Resigning Luca Antonini as a midfielder, siamo ultracompetitivi

E: actually, and hear me out here, Inzaghi could possibly use Saponara!!!!! I know it sounds crazy, but hey, I mean, he's free.
