The hatrick goal scored by N.Oduamadi for Nigeria. He is product of youth team AC Milan.

Well deserved win for Brazil,Italy performance in this competition is really horrible,dont know how they gonna face Spain this thursday.

Both injured. Aquilani had a horrendous performance in this game. Mysteriously El Sharaawy was on playing 2nd half although report suggest he's still injured & not yet fit.

Monto had a knock on his head bro,plus he can play as anchor too just like De Rossi but Prandelli prefer him on midfield.For me the most useless would be Aquaman,watched him play in serie A last season he always make reckless challenge & footing,i dont effing understand why Prandelli still favor this guy.

The whole system is dependence on how Pirlo would distributed his passing,this is something they should cover when he's not available.Luckily he has a replacement like U21 Verrati,so i have much more expectation from Azzuri in next year world cup.

Italy will revert back to 3 man defense after horrible performance againts Brazil.

Italy probable: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Maggio, De Rossi, Pirlo, Giaccherini; Candreva, Montolivo; Gilardino.


Sharaawy supposed not to be called up for this cup when he's not even 1st choice by coach as he would gotten more play time with the U21 team. This is a mistake.

Bonucci is the new Ramos. Congratz Spain.

Cavani really shows what 60m buyout clause player can do.

Suarez as usual looking for chew toys but couldnt owned Chiellini...lulz
