Vucinic trolls the limeys: Vucinic might himself have headed to the Emirates Stadium two years ago but instead opted to swap Roma for Juventus. "I like Turin," he says. "I have no desire to live in England." Let's hope he trolls them on the pitch too!
i think in knockout stages is better....people conveniently like to forget the first game in Euro group stages where Italy played much better
We have 6 of the starters for gli Azzurri tonight. The other 5 come from Milan. BuffonAbate - Barzagli - Bonucci - De SciglioMontolivo - Pirlo - MarchisioGiaccheriniBalotelli - El Shaarawy
Another ref-assisted robbery for Spain. Really despicable. Meanwhile in DO NOT WANT news: STAT: Benzema has now gone more than 1000 minutes of international football without a goal.
Juventino @Juventus_FC_fan4h Barzagli could be out of the Confederations Cup Italy squad after the injury yest. Wish the remaining Juventini didn't have to go either.
Juventino @Juventus_FC_fan1h 8 Juventus players in Prandelli's preliminary squad: Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Giaccherini, Marchisio, Pirlo, Giovinco #juvenews
They get a vacation if they don't go to the Confederations Cup. I cannot believe Prandelli called up Pirlo, Buffon, and Barzagli. He is such a cunt and I hope the team fails miserably because this is far worse than the Euro Championships. This is like the Intertoto Cup of international tournaments.
It's difficult to express just how pissed off I am about these call-ups. This is the type of competition when managers should usually call up peripheral players and U-21 regulars. Because it's even more stupid than the WC or the Euros and nobody takes it seriously. But Prandelli calls up Andrea Pirlo, who hasn't had a vacation in two years now and it showed in his form this season. It's simply unjustifiable.
I created this thread just for you. Let it all out. He had this thing about Di Natale that he knew what to expect from him. So why is it different for Barzagli or Pirlo? Prandelli still has the mentality of a club coach and not that of a national team manager.
So damn happy. Forget the Confed Cup, because I can't wait to see Llorente in that mesh shirt. That boy is damn fine.
yea wtf is up with that?? why do buffon and pirlo need to play this game?? im sure they'll be subbed but still
Old School Panini @OldSchoolPanini8h Squadra Azzura's manager : Claudio "Cesare" PRANDELLI - Juventus 1980-81 scirea6
Lol @ 'Claudio Prandelli'. I wonder why they left out his first name. I'd actually be a big fan of Prandelli if he didn't call-up our players for useless friendlies (and having managed the purple scum doesn't help, either). He's a Juventino, but he just goes about showing it in the wrong way.
If by chance Italy wins the WC next year, it will be a repeat of '94 where the team (particularly Baggio) took the side to the final despite having an inept coach. I put Prandelli in the Sacchi camp of idiots who will get praise even though he has no clue what he is doing. After three years in charge, he still has the mind set of a club coach. Today he named his 23 players for the useless Confederation Cup. Included on his list is Andrea Barzagli, who has problems with his Achilles tendon. Does it not make more sense to let him rest this summer, especially since Prandelli will likely play a 4-4-2. Hopefully Barzagli will just be on vacation in Brasil and not play much but we know all too well what a warrior he is as a player.
Barzagli always seems to recover from these injuries just in time to be called-up or to start in games that he shouldn't...
