Andrea Stramaccioni has said that he will field a younger Inter team tomorrow against Rubin Kazan. Bandini, Benassi, Pasa, Romano, Y. Del Piero, and Garritano is in the squad and hopefully they get to play. I believe that there will be more Italians playing for Inter from now on because of Stramaccioni.
De Rossi, - Not a good sign when he is mentioning MLS after being benched in favor of Michael Bradley. Read more at: http://nesn.com/2012/12/daniele-de-rossis-road-to-american-soccer-could-be-paved-by-michael-bradley/
Hopefully DDR retires to MLS b/c when the starting center half of the Italian National team gets punked for his place in the starting line for Roma by a player where soccer is a close sixth place to horse racing and aggressive fishing, it is a disgrace for the national team. I mean, don't we have any oriundi that can take his place with less bitching? Speaking of bitching though (& Oriundi, Ohhhhh!), Balotelli is definitely on the downward swing. He really needs to get his shit together or transfer to Chivas USA and so he can stop wasting space on this forum. Hopefully we can find another African kid that actually deserves the chance the Balotelli family gave him if he doesn't live up to expectations. And of course for Prandelli, for being a slut and having his unqualified son on his physical training and med staff for the Euros. How many of us knew that when our beloved coach made those horrible decisions that led to us getting our asses kicked 4-0 because he trusted his son? Maybe if we do bad in the confederations, God will smile on us and get Prandelli fired so we can actually have a chance in Brasil. I mean a chance of winning it, not just doing good and making the numbers like Prandelli is intent on doing.
