Euro 2012 Qualification: Italy - Slovenia (Sep. 6th 2011) [R]

why not have a thread for this match too since its next week and more exciting than the faroe islands.

Game is at 11:45 am los angeles time

Home game, florence

It might not be so exciting if Italy qualify with a victory at the Faroe Islands (and a bit of help from others).

lol even if its not important, it'll give a chance to see the reserves against a decent side

Start Balo

really looking forward to a better performance

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]There’s a new Mario Balotelli controversy, as it’s reported Cesare Prandelli was angered by ‘a lazy warm-up’ and using his iPad on the bench.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]It is now claimed he was set to come on early in the second half, but Coach Prandelli decided to delay the change after seeing his ‘lazy warm-up’ on the touchline.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]There are even suggestions Balotelli was too distracted to pay attention to the game, as he brought his iPad with him on to the bench.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]It remains to be seen how Prandelli will use this behaviour when making his decision on the starting XI against Slovenia.[/FONT]

This Italian team has set a record as they have not conceded a goal in qualifying in 515 minutes.

And some of you want to change the defense ???? WHY ???

let's just wait until they play slovenia again and serbia. we can get a better idea of just how good the defense is.

Prandelli says:

Buffon
Cassani - Ranocchia - Chiellini - Balzaretti
De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio
Montolivo
Rossi - Cassano

Both fullbacks changed.

Im expecting a much better performance today ! 3-0 Win.

Rossi - 14'
Rossi - 43'
Cassano - 57'

2:45 EST start?

What happened to myp2p.eu?
Does anyone know of any streams?

Thanks

Yep i think so.

Yes ...this game is also on Setanta Sports in HD as well as Rai International.

Setanta sports is on free preview right now.

myp2p has been down for a few weeks and dont think they will come up again.

Veetle and stream2watch.com are the only ones i found for now.

Fucking Prandelli. Why is Pirlo starting again? Totally unnecessary.

Why not start Pirlo?

I mean I realize that eventually they will have to replace him but if there's no suitable replacement why not start him.

Here's a potential working stream for the match:

Because he has a game against Parma on Sunday and Juventus need him more.

Here's a Romania - France stream for those who want to pass the time:

Sorry to bother, but does anyone have a link for the San Marino - Sweden match?

Pathetic crowd for a game that could send us through.
