And there were people here who wanted Prandelli to coach us :)
 
Incredible how few actually understand the concept of 'MINIMUM amount of time added on'
 
Pirlo only has one gear sadly.

italy sacrifice too many of their players to use pirlo in the way they do. i actually think they would be better without him. hes a deep lying playmaker, not an attacker. he just can't win enough matches on his own to have players being sacrificed for him as if he is ronaldo, messi, suarez, bale.
 
He wasn't at the end there. He's so slow they had to bypass him to be able to create chances.

he wasnt the best on the pitch.. godin was.

best as a player, easily the best there. just a shame the likes of him and ronaldo look to be going home. Only thing that can save this WC now is Messi dragging Argentina to the trophy.
 
This is a significant step up from dispatching dross in qualifying. It's in Italy's interest that he calls it a day now.

oh well, he's won it all. dragged them to a world cup final and won it before. It was a tough ask at 35, at least he got to rip England apart one last time.
 
i doubt it.

i may very well be wrong in saying that italy would be better w/o pirlo. but to say italy arent big favourites to qualify for the worldcup in a group with denmark, czech rep., bulgaria, armenia, malta is surely stretching it.

without pirlo, buffon etc.. id say denmark will beat them and leave italy to lose in the play offs

It's been a great tournament so far and it does not need a big name to save it. The unpredictability has made it very difficult to predict and I hope it carries on like that all the way to the final.
