Conte's Italy

Lieutenant Worf more like.

Antonelli, Valdifiori and Darmian impressed the most for me. Conte is doing really well with what appears on paper to be the weakest Italian team in years. Pellè should have done better with second half chance, Immobile showed well when introduced. Gigi was his reliable self. Chiellini despite a couple of errors did a good job on Kane, he physically imposed himself on the Jew’s second coming.

I don’t think it’s a poor team at all, really need a couple of attackers to solidify their place in the team.

veratti was a sub, if he is only a sub we are unstoppable

44

quite a shame that the @Nembo Kid[/USER] and [USER=2533]@Il Bomber Destro didnt exist at the smae time, it ppears they would have had the bants.

45

We did exist at the same time. Our time on the forum overlapped.

46

Shame you didnt interact, you have a lot in common.

47

He coulda been bombers lobster.

Good few injuries ahead of the big game with Croatia tomorrow night.

Chiellini, Barzagli, De Rossi, Montolivo, Verratti and Zaza all unavailable. I’d go with the following team

[CENTER]Buffon

Darmian Ranocchia Bonucci De Sciglio

Marchisio Pirlo Parolo

Candreva Immobile El Shaarawy[/CENTER]

49

[CENTER]Buffon

De Silvestri Bonucci Astori Darmian

Parolo Pirlo Marchisio

Candreva Pelle El Shaarawy[/CENTER]

Forza Italia

Gigi saves a penalty after a poor challenge from that donkey Astori.

51

Mandzukic scores about 15 seconds after Italy have a goal chalked out.

Buffon is furious.

52

Dreadful decision to chalk the Italian goal off, definite goal.

53

Another horrible mistake from Astori nearly gifts Croatia another goal.

54

De Silvestri looks to have picked up a serious injury after making a goal saving challenge to prevent Astori’s mistake being punished.

55

De Sciglio to come in for him.

56

El Shaarawy blows a glorious chance to level matters.

57

Italian penalty.

58

Candreva with a Panenka. :clap:

59

0-0 with Portugal at half time, pretty tame affair with Portugal being the better side. Bright spots have been the performances of Ranocchia and El Shaarawy.

Immobile hits the post.
