QUOTE (X-Offender @ May 13 2014, 10:14 PM)  Prandelli's preliminary list: How I would play: Buffon Abate - Bonucci - Chiellini - MDS Verratti - De Rossi - Marchisio Insigne Balotelli - Immobile Looks great, but I'd go Barzagli instead of Bonucci, and Pirlo is definitely going to be starting, Italy rely on him too much for basically anything that is remotely creative. |

I know he'll start, that's a given. I just think that midfield would work much better. |

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ May 13 2014, 11:19 PM) Nasri left out of the France squad, depsite having the best year of his career. He had some disciplinary problems in the last Euro and Deschamps doesn't like him since then. Bad environment within the team is something that contributed to some of their failed campaigns in the past so I think it's a good decision. Nasri's girlfriend took it well: (IMG:https://pp.vk.me/c7002/c540101/v540101090/295e9/oZew4WUgz1c.jpg) |

Don't know man, Pirlo has been an integral part of the Italy side for a while now, and he usually plays out of himself for the NT And Marchisio hasn't really been all that great imo.

If I were Italy I'd go 4-3-3 against England.

No place then for El-Sha?
That'll upset a lot of the drones in our support who believe him to be the best player on earth tbh. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Out of fitness, out of form, and out of favor. Maybe next time, eh, if he keeps up the levels? |

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ May 14 2014, 04:12 PM) If I were Italy I'd go 4-3-3 against England. Why's that? I'd personally hit them where it hurts, through the centre. 4-3-1-2/4-3-2-1 QUOTE (Danny @ May 14 2014, 04:39 PM) No place then for El-Sha? That'll upset a lot of the drones in our support who believe him to be the best player on earth tbh. He's been injured for an entire season, it would have been unfair to take him. Although Candreva did make it into that side and he's terrible so... |

At least no Giaccherini this time, although I prefer him over Candreva, at least he's really quick and works his @ss off All in all, I think it's a very good roster of players, with very little "fillers" just to make up numbers |
