Italia vs Germania quarter final

Ya and being a negative Nancy about Italy all tournament long is?

 

Why was he banned? I liked his posts.

 

I've talked a lot of sh*t to my German friends, I hope the boys show up.

 

Right. Please if there is a mod reading this, ban me because I think Montolivo sucks and I didn't like our chances of winning games

 

Your point?

 

So i assume Sturaro will play as more of a defensive position closing down space and Parolo will provide the creative link from def/mid to our forwards?

I dont know much about these players and their style of play but in your opinions, would this work?

 

That's when Germany are at their best. Khedira might be the best in the world at starting a counter attack from midfield. He was the true catalyst in the destruction of Brazil. Really when Germany is at their best it's when Khedira is the engine in midfield marauding forward. It will be a great battle between he and Parolo in the middle.

Conte likes to keep things simple for his midfield. Positioning is the most important aspect, and he doesn't want a player to be in a vulnerable position where he has to create space and find an alternate pass on his own. I am sure there will be moments where the Germans put the mids in compromising positions.

Obviously Thomas Muller will be key to track as well. He was everywhere in the March friendly and found himself countless times with time and space. He also gave Juve plenty of problems in 2013 and 2016, and he didn't really feature back in the Euro 2012 semis.

 

Sal was a good boy. He dindu nuffin

 

Sal is herpes

 

Parolo is a very good box to box mid. Covers a lot of space, makes timely runs forward, good in the air and can strike from distance. However he isn't the most composed on the ball and can give the ball away cheaply. Sometimes he thinks too much on the ball and that causes problems for him.

Stugazzo is a hustler but his touch on the ball can be erratic at times. He's also prone to losing his cool and getting booked. Tbh from what I've seen from him with either Juve or the U21 I have not been overly impressed but managers like Allegri trust him in big spots like vs Bayern. He's young can run and seems to be tactically responsible. I will say he was fantastic vs Real in the 2015 semis however, hopefully he has another performance like that in him.

 

You both make very valid points.

 

If there are any real mods out there, they'll ban you. But there isn't so here you stay. When Italy wins the Euro I never want to see you again

 

Why? Would you rather we allow you a safe space for words and phrases that upset you?

 

The guy who talked in detail what he'd do to Sals mom is upset with what someone else wrote on a message board lmao

 

Please complian to the super mods and tell them my crimes!

And btw I'm not going anywhere

 

So will you leave if (when) Italy loses?

 

Yea, hopefully Conte takes note of prandellis errors in 2012. Ran the same players into the ground. They were exhausted towards the end of the Germany game and prandeli played the same players in the final too iirc.

2006 was slightly different as we played the semi final at a high pace for 120 minutes. We have one extra game this time around if we manage to get to the final.

 

Because he insulted a poster instead of offering up a counter argument to what was a legitimate claim?

 

Sal is forever gone, we kept him captive in bs prison then let him go when he served his time. Unfortunately he suffered an ill fait after finding his mother's haul of vibrators and was rattleled to death. Time to move on, we hold a memorial for him every week.

No I'd rather all the anti Italy and anti Conte, And Italy won't make it of the group this and won't beat whoever we play next that to go jump in a lake and drown. Just saying. Waste of ********en time

 

I'd rather the mods allow my sal's mom jokes and Marco Delvecchio's posts then the Italy is shit camp

 

I'll leave this thread ya.

 

Sturaro is a very interesting player. There are times I watch him and he looks elite. In fact, he's pretty damn awesome more often than not. Remember this amazing goal vs Napoli?



The problem is...once in a while...he will have a game where you scratch your head and wonder WTF. The Ireland game was one of those. His touch on the ball was so poor that it made Gattuso look like Zidane. I just can't figure it out.

I'm praying that DDR makes it back, but if he doesn't, I hope the real Sturaro shows up. He's a hell of a player when he does.

 

Sturaro is turning in to a poor man's Ambrosini (that's not supposed to be a compliment).

I.e. a physical player with a very heavy touch.

With De Rossi out I think Insigne has to start because as it is there's zero passing ability in that midfield right now.
