you mean you haven't been watching his career dissolve over the years? what i don't get is why Balotelli is constantly called up. why why why he sucks and his teammates normally hate him.
can we agree here that best uniforms should go to Croats just about every tournament? meh..to each his own I guess. some uni's seem more nationalistic than others.
Balotelli is a sine qua non for the Italians. Tactically, they need him as the target man to relieve the pressure at back. They've always play with one from Vieri to Luca Toni as recent examples. It's just that he's brilliant and awful from one moment to the next. Pirlo was unbelievable in this match. Giovinco and DiNatale together just did not work at all...
I'm sure Torres will come good in this tournament if he's given a couple of starts. The only problem is, Llorente is pretty fcking awesome and deserves to start more than Torres. Well, Negredo does as well for that matter...
love ballack's commentary. "so he has a chance to win something" - on why that italian player passed on USMNT. lalalas is so boring.
LMAO. Slaven Bilic: "Ireland is not a top team." Tommy Smyth gets his panties all bunched up. Now I really want Croatia to hammer them.
Leave it to ESPN to open an old, dead non-issue and ask the most awkward question to their guest. These Americans are so stupid. As if a footballer as great as Rossi would ever have even considered playing for Team Waldo when he was already in the Serie A and was well on his way to play for Italy. I love how Ballack is continually putting the red headed step child goat in his place this week. What a great hire.
