Anyone watching the Italy-Ireland game?
Rossi is looking fantastic, and overall Italia is playing the better game but Ireland did score a very good goal that the keeper really couldn't be given too much fault for. The second half is about to start, Italy down 1-0, I think they can pull off a win tho still |

Italy didn't deserve to lose like this. and Ireland didn't deserve to win like this! they played it the Italian way. score a goal, sit back and defend it, and then score another on counter attack. typical Trap style.
I hadn't watched the "new" Italy before. there are improvements for sure. especially in playing a free flowing and fast game. they also pass the ball around a lot. some said it's like Spain. but it's not really. most passes are just for the sake of it, whereas in Spain there's a thought and a purpose and "unlocking the play" behind every pass, especially those made by Xavi and Iniesta. Italy are still miles behind that level and I'm not sure they'll ever catch up because let's face it, there are no Xavi-quality players in Italy. I mean Montolivo? really? I'm also shocked that Italy managers STILL play Gilardino. what has he ever done to deserve all these callups? and when he comes on he doesn't do jackshit. I just don't get it...

Montolivo behind the strikers was a silly idea.Giovinco would probably do better.

Giovinco is great and should definitely play as tre-q from now on. Italy lacked creativity without him.

Managers? It's Prandelli who's playing a handout to Gilardino every once and a while. He's really gotta stop promoting his Viola guys.

Don and Lippi used to call him up as well. he's always in La Nazionale no matter who the manager is. but I agree it's Prandelli's tie to his Viola past, otherwise Montolivo wouldn't be there either. at least not in the XI.
Anyway, this was a friendly and he wanted to experiment with the lineup a bit. looking forward to seeing the real Italy in an official game. This post has been edited by Zed.D: Jun 7 2011, 11:03 PM |

Well, Trap showed him a trick or two. You can still learn from the best, I hope Cesare is doing exactly this.

QUOTE (d'Arc.LP @ Jun 7 2011, 10:38 PM) I hoped we will be better. It's the same story all over again. I'm surprised you and most Albanians continue hoping for a Euro or WC qualification. I gave up on our NT team a long time ago. I'm not saying you shouldn't support them, just decrease your expectations. QUOTE (Zed.D @ Jun 8 2011, 12:02 AM) but I agree it's Prandelli's tie to his Viola past, otherwise Montolivo wouldn't be there either. at least not in the XI. And Gamberini. Geez, what's he doing in the NT? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |
