2013 Confederations Cup

We seem to be continuing with the 4-2-3-1 which is very dangerous as we need another option behind the ball when in possession.

Diamanti has superb quality in his set-piece deliveries.

Infairness totti the Italians go down awful easy.its good to see brazil getting stuck in though.will side show bob last the 90?

We really need to change shape, we have too many players ahead of the ball so when we are rushed into clearances Brazil are picking all the ball up in the midfield area.

Playing Marchisio out on the left is pointless as far as I’m concerned.

Brazil pressing really hard on Italy in their own half, like Japan did in midweek.

Italy are really set up for counter attacking football and I don’t think mario is the man to have up front for that job!
If brazil score shortly I would expect them to win by 2/3.by far the better team

Montolivo off injured now, Prandelli would to cop on and change to a midfield three.

Jesus these Italian lads wouldn’t last 5 mins in the premiership…soft as fuck

Abate off injured now.

They fairly softened your EPL boys up in Euros you dense cock.

There goes side show!!!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahaahahahahhahahahaha

Rattled…

Your beloved Italy are playing second fiddle big time here…

Dante has entered the fray, but for Brazil, against Italy?

And?

i only joined this at the half hour mark but it is an atrociously bad game of ball
Italy just seem to want to get out of there and on the plane home ASAP ,Brazil have no choice but to try to take it seriously for obvious reasons but this is awful stuff

Neymar will fit in well at Barcelona given his propensity to go down at the slightest touch.

I think Prandelli should be sacked after this tournament, he has clearly lost his marbles in his squad selection, team selection and tactics. How can he not see the system he is employing is suicide? Every time the ball is passed into the midfield two they are surrounded by about six players. Candreva simply has to be dropped back into the centre of midfield as we are being outnumbered. The fitness levels of the squad don’t look good at all either.

Its only the confederations cup. A chance to try things out. Also an international manager can’t be blamed for bad fitness.

We were shocking in the 2009 Confederations Cup under Lippi and went on to record one of our most embarrassing displays at an international tournament the following year, the signs are there of similar happening again next year.
