The only good thing for us is that no Confed cup winner has won the WC the following year. So I want Italy to win but I don't as well..........

Italy XI v Spain: Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Maggio, Pirlo, De Rossi, Giaccherini, Candreva, Marchisio, Gilardino

Spain XI v Italy: Casillas; Arbeloa, Pique, Ramos, Alba; Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta; Pedro, Silva; Fernando Torres

Italy going 3-5-2 at last..... shame that the "2" is Candreva and Gilardino Laughing

by Kaladin Thu Jun 27, 2013 6:45 pm

Its more of a 3-4-2-1 with Marchisio and Candreva behind Gil lol

Gil switching allegiance to Italy so quickly

New Judas Rossi

Silva, Pedro and Torres. Finally Spain play with 2 goalscorers.

by Kaladin Thu Jun 27, 2013 6:51 pm

Arbeloa might be the only weakness we can exploit lol. Just have to persist in getting past Arbeloa's flank like Madrid persist in their pursuit of La Decima

Might seem unlikely to most but Spain look extremely shaky defensively in their last game so it should give Brazil hope.

Plus Brazil seem a side to me who just win games despite not looking impressive.

Will be a close game IMO.

If Spain make it past Italy then Brazil will get annihilated, that's out of question. Italy is the biggest worry now.

yes, because braizl is the team with the shaky defense. oh wait...

Gil wrote:Brazil have 5 error prone defenders at the back, their midfield is massively overrated, Oscar is knackered, Fred is no threat whatsoever on the counter, Hulk is shit and Neymar won't see much of the ball.

Spain's only remaining threat is Italy. They'll batter Brazil if they win tonight.

how is brazil's defense worse than italy ? who conceded 7 goals in 2 games ?

by Arquitecto Thu Jun 27, 2013 7:04 pm

Actually, it is closer to a 3-4-3 than a 3-4-2-1.

Either way with Giacch playing WB, Candreva playing and Alberto *bleep* Gilardino. We are onto the way to the finals with Brazil.

I'm sorry Azzuri, but wish this game good night.

Not going to be pretty.

Gilardino? F**K!!!!!!!!!!!

by Tomwin Lannister Thu Jun 27, 2013 7:16 pm

Giovinco should be in Candreva's spot, SES should be on as well.

by sbaggio Thu Jun 27, 2013 7:25 pm

Seriously, Osvaldo is better than Gilardino. SES should start.

by McAgger Thu Jun 27, 2013 7:29 pm

Torres

by futbol Thu Jun 27, 2013 7:33 pm

lol What's with the Gilardino hate? At least he isn't Torres. Laughing

by Gil Thu Jun 27, 2013 7:35 pm

Spain is starting trash like Pique and Alba in defense. Italy have a chance imo.

by BarcaLearning Thu Jun 27, 2013 8:38 pm

Omg thank god for Casillas, still the best GK in the world!!!!

Italy owning with this 3-5-2? Spain full back keep getting out number, Spain need a chance b4 we fking concede!

by Valkyrja Thu Jun 27, 2013 8:47 pm

Spain need the double pivot IMO.

by farfan Thu Jun 27, 2013 8:47 pm

don't worry , spain will steal this .

by BarcaLearning Thu Jun 27, 2013 8:49 pm

Italy playing so well, they always do this when u write them off, lol.... Spain not working up front and not defending good enough again.... changes are needed....I hope Del Bosque does something... I wanna see Villa and Cesc soon...

Pirlo with a top showing, I hope Xavi and Iniesta turn it on too in teh second half, come on!!!

Casillas like someone said I forgot who, gives the team extra lives Razz

Not sure who were saying it, but GL always liek this, last few games they say better without, and a poor half, now its better with it Very Happy

by danyjr Thu Jun 27, 2013 8:52 pm

Alba exposed to the shit defender he is. Can't believe this guy plays for NT.

by EarlyPrototype Thu Jun 27, 2013 8:52 pm

Alba is getting molested. If it wasn't for Italy's poor finishing and Iker they could easily be up 2-0.

Alba's not having a good game but tbf candreva & maggio are owning the entire right side of the pitch for them.

by BarcaLearning Thu Jun 27, 2013 9:03 pm
