QF3: Germany v Italy

[Syn_13]

Any idea how they played when the two met a few months ago in a friendly? Sky said it was 3-4-3. but then they had Italy as a 3-4-3 too.

I think if Germany go four at the back Kroos will be exposed badly.

I didn't watch that game. Not sure if Germany will cope with just 2 in the centre. They'll adapt as the game goes on.

I juat wanna see an entertaining game that goes right down to the final whistle. Is that too much to ask for?

Also, Conte's 352 is going to be very tough to counter act. Make no mistake, he'll have Chelsea set up very well.

2 classic anthems. Love how passionately the Italians sung theirs. Not like out bunch. If I was manager of England I would fine the player who sang the quietest every match.

Two up top seems to be making a comeback. Leicester won the league with it, Italy dangerous with it. I'd love to see us have that option. Would mean buying 2 strikers though and it's been hard enough buying one!

Definitely three at the back for Germany.

 

[Spurger King]

Could do with an early goal.

Germany's bench is a madness

If I was a player, I'd barley sing ours. It's shit.

Personally I think England, Italy, France and Brazil have the best and most emotive anthems

Ours should be land of hope and glory or Jerusalem.

Can see this one going to penalties.

Assuming he improves their defence with new signings he will.

Interesting that Germany have gone 3421, but still don't understand why they don't use Muller as the CF and have Gotze or Draxler as the other AM behind Muller.

Isn't that like a fake anthem?

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Alli G going off and Schweinstieger coming on is a bit of loss for Germany.

 

[UpTownSpur]

20 minutes was enough for me. This is gonna be an absolute stinker of a stalemate game.

Not really the point.

Sturaro is no De Rossi. Average player, not sure why he's at Juve. Weak link for that midfield and can't protect the defence as well as De Rossi can.
