Only bad game he played was the one where Inter lost 4-2 to Napoli. What other bad games did he play? I remember he was often in the Serie A Team Of The Week on Goal.com . http://www.goal.com/it/news/2/serie...ie-a-cassano-e-di-natale-illuminano-ranocchia http://www.goal.com/it/news/2/serie...erie-a-cassano-totti-pirlo-buffon-leccellenza http://www.goal.com/it/news/2/serie...e-a-cuadrado-segna-e-incanta-toni-è-immortale http://www.goal.com/it/news/2/serie...erie-a-kovacic-illumina-floro-flores-salva-il Might have been exaggerating because he played so well in his last game. Anyway, Paletta played 18 games for Parma this season. Ranocchia 23. If you average out their ratings I would say Ranocchia "has him beat". Saw on Sky Sport that Prandelli may play 3-5-2. Could be more good news for Ranocchia. http://video.sky.it/sport/calcio-estero/convocati_italia/v199004.vid http://sport.sky.it/sport/calcio_italiano/2014/05/05/brasile_2014_modello_juve_per_la_nazionale.html
You realize that these player ratings are based on the opinions of anonymous journalists? Anyone can do the pagelle. Stop reading the morons at goal.com. From now on only read my posts and learn something
Ok genio. What did you think of the final 30? Which seven would exclude? I wonder if you can put your Insigne bias aside. Morons at goal.com? What sites do you visit? May wanna change your sig about Prandelli taking Alino. Lippi still manages to affect the national team! Should have not listened to his wife and stayed with Bologna. He would be on the plane. Aquilani got his spot.
What exactly qualifies him as a "Calcio God"? What are his credentials? Can I see his resume'? He says to "from now on only read my posts and learn something". Well I am waiting. Tell me something insightful. He couldn't possibly be a bigger "Calcio God" than Calcio Pauly! Oh has there ever been a bigger misnomer The Pagelle are all rigged! It's a conspiracy! Call Jesse Ventura!
Pagelle is BS, even though not entirely accurate either, whoscored.com paints a better picture of players

You havent been here long enough ,you must respect him he was once a calcio professor, now he is a man who has entered a new paradigm and entity of calcio knowledge
In other news, although slightly off topic (I just didn't know where to put it), Milan have moved 16-year-old Hachim Mastour to the "A" team, and want to give him his Serie A debut against Sassuolo this Sunday. He apparently is the kid whom Milan want to build their team around in the next few years. Is he really that good? I've seen YouTube videos, but is he really that good? They're saying that never has a youngster caused so much commotion since Messi arrived on to the scene.
I really wonder if Prandelli ever considered Gastaldello or Cigarini/know who they are. At least in 2014 the team that was called up is better than the team that wasn't. Unlike 2010.
Who said I have an Insigne bias? My thoughts on the final 30 are well documented. Read my previous posts. As far as who will make the cut? That depends on what happens in the next couple of weeks in training. I think Cesare will have FITNESS at the top of his list of main criteria. Goal.com is trash. I read my own posts regarding news and sources. It's unfortunate that Cesare decided not to go with Alino as he is the only trequartista puro besides a 40 YO Totti.
Milan are the masters of deception. Trying to distract the fans on the absolute failure that was this season. All this coming on the day the Silvio said Milan will sell Balotelli HEY MILAN FANS, DON'T LOOK THERE, LOOK HERE
Is he not 15 years old ? Either way, the kid has mad skills, although he is way too young to be playing professional sports.
Pretty much agree with your squad. I would take Palletta over Ranocchia, Italy have enough lumbering centrebacks as of now, no need for even slower one. Romulo over Montolivo as he can cover several roles and Italy have enough depth in central midfield. I would take both Cassano and Rossi, they can alternate like Del Piero and Totti did in 06, but I'm conflicted of which two to take from Cerci, Candreva, and Insigne. Candreva can run all day, which could be extremely important in Brazilian heat and can also cover for advanced central mid role. Cerci can be an excellent option of the bench, stretching opposition defenses. Insigne is probably a better overall player of these three. I'm inclining towards the former two. Cassano and Rossi have class, Candreva and Cerci - engine and utility. A good mix... My 23: Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Mattia Perin (Genoa), Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint Germain) 7 Defenders: Andrea Barzagli (Juventus), Leonardo Bonucci (Juventus), Giorgio Chiellini* (Juventus), Gabriel Paletta (Parma), Mattia De Sciglio* (Milan), Manuel Pasqual (Fiorentina), Ignazio Abate (Milan), 8 Midfielders: Daniele De Rossi* (Roma), Andrea Pirlo (Juventus), Claudio Marchisio (Juventus), Thiago Motta (Paris Saint Germain), Marco Parolo (Parma), Marco Verratti (Paris Saint Germain), Romulo* (Verona), Antonio Candreva* (Lazio); 5 Forwards: Mario Balotelli (Milan), Giuseppe Rossi (Fiorentina), Antonio Cassano (Parma), Ciro Immobile (Torino), Alessio Cerci* (Torino). * - Players who can fill different roles.
good choices for team players from Prandelli - well deserved and team is looking good ..can't wait for the World Cup, its going to be an exciting one for sure!
Berlusconi: Hey Milan fans look over here at our seven European Cups. Hey Napoli fans look over here your zero European cups. I know they are going through a tough time at the moment but it is inevitably temporary. Been supporting them practically since birth. Not about to switch teams now or ever for that matter. Glad you don't have an Insigne bias because you had him as your avatar for the longest time just like a fan boy. Immobile - 22 Goals Rossi - 15 Goals Balotelli - 14 Goals Cerci - 13 Goals Destro - 13 Goals Cassano - 12 Goals Insigne - 3 Goals Gee I wonder who Prandelli should leave out of the squad. You know because it is kind of important for "Attacanti" to score goals. Now if he was included in the group of midfielders like I wanted him to be then I could see a case for him but his spot may now go to Parolo or Aquilani whom he would have been competing with. Can't say he is a midfielder though because @JCNapoli17 might have an aneurysm. The pagelle are the new Gulf of Tonkin! All the pagelle are false flag operations. Only ever found Goal.com/it articles to be relatively neutral and timely in reporting the news. Is Lucas Anthony talking shit about Destro and Giuseppe Rossi here? If so then f*ck him. http://www.football-italia.net/49201/toni-prandelli-strange-italy-picks Buffon on the other hand all class. http://www.football-italia.net/49214/buffon-world-cup-calls-deserved @Hulk_Hogan_Italia please change your avatar to this brother: Convocati - train, say your prayers, eat your vitamins, be true to yourself, true to you country, be a real Italian.
you better hope your old pervert Berlusconi opens his purse that he handed to his underaged prostitute
