Tikitalia style. not sure if it will be an official name for our playing style.

Italy did adopt the passing-possession base football. But they are nowhere similar to Spanish tiki-taka

all i can say is that was the worst match during the group stage, or atleast the most dull 1st half in this year world cup

as for what went wrong. I think it goes down to both tactical and team mentality

Using 3-5-2 but didn't utilize the wingbacks. Always try to force the attack from the middle where Uruguay stack atleast 7-8 players
to contain the attack including Cavani. And then the never-ending poor long ball passes towards balotelli & immobile which both
are rather invisible or ineffective last night

as for the mentality bit. Italy looking to play for a draw. And play for a draw they did..at the end it came back to bite em..no pun intended.
Good for em
