I can assure you that Jauronimo is a man of high ethical standards.

Now you know how we feel.

Russia is on fire.

Sheva is one of my all time favorites. So much skill and class and always performed at every level. I don't think there is anything wrong with sitting back and countering. You play to your strengths. Italy won WC 2006 based on their vicious counter attack and world class defending. France didn't show much today even though England played stout defensively. I would play for a draw vs France.

Long live Shevaaaaaaaa

England looked terrible. They defended for their lives (kind of ironic coming from me )

Lobbying power.

That's fine. I become very nervous during this period. Yes Italy is usually always there. That being said, this is probably one of the more open formations I've ever seen them play (3 defenders?) but I do think Prandelli brought up players he expects to use in 2014 in Brazil. They have never been as successful in Europe as they have been in the world cup tournaments. Cassano is not in form and it was clear yesterday. He's actually a walking miracle as he had heart surgery in September and hardly played for Milan. Balo is a head case who was benched all year for Manchester City. As Mourinho used to say, "he only has one brain cell". I hope for the best but Croatia will be a handful. France will beat England. I hate them both very much

I wouldn't say decline but this is a relatively new team. The dream team that Dino Zoff built in 2000 that went to the Euro final against France is all but retired. Buffon is all you have left from that team. De Rossi is a defensive midfielder. Him playing as a center back scares the hell out of me because, as a defensive mid, he's much more prone to crack and give up fouls than is expected from a center back. Yes I'm very nervous. I don't want to have the last game against Trappatoni.

must win for Italy on Thursday

They played well but there are a lot of question marks. I'm relieved after getting past this game without a loss. Pirlo is pure class. Seems to be getting better with age.

I don't know. Maybe it was a brainfart? Like I said, he is talented, just not right in the head.

Di Natale has been one of the most prolific scorers in Italy since 2000 yet he's never included in the team because he never played for a big club or ever played for a big tournament. Balotelli is much more talented than Di Natale and you see it. He can be a handful for the defense. It's his character that got him relegated to the bench in Man City. Plus maybe Prandelli didn't want to be called a racist Much respect to my man De Rossi. He's not a defender yet he put him there due to the Barzagli injury. Man I miss the days of Cannavaro and Nesta.

Buffon, best keeper ever. Lot's of respect for Di Natale. Sad that Cassano can't play a full 90 min. Forza Azzurri. !@#$ Spain.

It might end up being a bloodbath. This is an experimental team.

By far the best team on paper in this tournament. Big game in one hour. So !@#$ing scared.

Spain and Croatia:wallbash:

He's close to the breaking point.

Depends. The combination of Cassano/Balotelli/Pirlo could surprise the continent but the bench is very thin. The defense scares me too. Barzaglia injured means it will be De Rossi having to play more defensive support making it difficult to control the midfield. Combine that with Spain whose midfield is world class, could be scary. Oh well, I have faith.

Too bad he's suspended for two games And yeah !@#$ everyone, FORZA ITALIA.

It's only natural that complacency kicks in. As I stated earlier times, my parents were straight off the boat immigrants with not a penny to their name but out of my entire family, I am the least disciplined because I had it easier than my brothers/sister did.

I'm quite certain that there might be some who have a bias strictly because of his race but I don't think it's the underlying reason either. Obviously even if they did, they wouldn't announce it in public?
