3, but 2 of their CB's are in there. Which I'm sure won't be an issue between now and the QF's.

4 - Motta & Eder (meh) but yah Chiellini & Bonucci not so good

 

[jstewismybastardson]

oh yah

 

[jstewismybastardson]

the worst italian team for 50 years ... yup

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Strong finish.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

5 games is way too many for them to count against each other. They should be wiped clean after the group stage.

I've also seen Pelle do that more than once in a Southampton shirt (lol)

He was just parroting what so many Italian media (and Twitterati) were saying.

You can't actually expect him to know what he's talking about, jstew.

They're kinda like the Dutch, only less successful.

This is not your father's Italia who just do enough to make it the knockout stage...

I saw a lot of previews going on about how Italian media were down on the team. I don't read Italian so I had to take their word for it.

Either way, Italy has one of the 2 or 3 best back lines and as long as that's the case they were always in with a chance.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

lol he might have broken his back lol

Haha! Buffon tried to swing from the bar, fell badly, then laughed at himself.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

As for Belgium, can they fire Wilmots mid-tourney? There's a winning team in there but he obviously doesn't know how to pry it out of this lot.
