I saw Pirlo get played off the pitch by Lamar Neagle last month. He's completely immobile and also doesn't give a poo poo

Immobile is a striker :haw:

He's never had to run to play his game, it's definitely that he doesn't give a poo poo anymore.

The clowns for the clown game in ten minutes:

Sirigu; Bonucci, Chiellini, Barzagli; Candreva, Giaccherini, Thiago Motta, Parolo, El Shaarawy; Zaza e Immobile

What the gently caress does Insigne have to do to get some minutes? I'm gonna be real mad if that garbageman Immobile is going to play over him in the real thing.

If Immobile and Zaza could finish it would've ended 5-0.

Not bad though, once Thiago Motta and Giaccherini came off Italy looked much much better. Would reaaaallly like to see Insigne/Pelle as the starting strikers.

Giampiero Ventura has been appointed Italy's new manager after this tournament. I think one other nation has a lame duck manager right now, Russia maybe? Conte can gently caress off for making everything official and public a month ago or whatever it was.

Also Ventura has never won anything but I guess he gets the most out of garbagemen so maybe he's the exactly right choice.

That may or may not be correct. He'll stay, but nobody knows where: he could leave the national team and stay at CSKA, or leave CSKA and stay in the national team. Both are equally likely.

Conveniently when Italy plays their first match.

At least send me a Facebook request before posting my pictures.

Also I have a good feeling about tomorrow. I was looking at Vincent Kompany's forehead on TV and he looked worried as hell, it was like a mountain range with a river of sweat rolling through it.

In irrelevant trivia news, when Italy played Belgium in Euro 2000 both Wilmots and Conte were in their respective sides starting 11. Italy won 2-0

Where is the mob when you need them, Insigne the good Napolitano lad has been left out of the XI for poo poo man Eder. Hopefully Conte gets a wake up call from the various Cirú's.

Parolo and Giaccherini are on either side of De Rossi, Candreva should be on the left and Darmian on the right unless Conte has truly lost his mind.

Yes, although that's where he was with Cesena and Juve like 100 years ago or whatever. He never played as a forward until he went to Sunderland.
