Buffon has played in most world cups than all the previous goalies Italy had in the past were talking 4 world cups now. Name me 1 Italian goalie that has played as many world cups Buffon did?> My answer is "NONE. Thanks to Buffon for helping Italy win the world cup in "2006. True captain and leader on the team.

    I think Italy and England will go through. Cerci is an exciting player, he will link up well with balotelli. Verrati and Pirlo on the ball with the engine of De Rossi. That is a very good midfield.

    • @TheLordoftheRavens
      @TheLordoftheRavens 10 лет назад

      I think Uruguay will make it out behind Italy. England just isn't a top team that can compete with the best. As we saw last World Cup, they can barely compete with USA, Slovenia, and Algeria.

    • @jonnycash3540

    • @jonnycash3540
      @jonnycash3540 10 лет назад

      TheLordoftheRavens maybe. But good news for england if they make it out their group, is that they will get Colombia, ivory coast or japan who we should be able to beat.

    • @TheLordoftheRavens
      @TheLordoftheRavens 10 лет назад

      will sloan If England get second in the group (which might already be a stretch), they would likely have to face Colombia. I think Colombia is better than England. They finished second in the South America qualifiers behind Argentina and ahead of teams like Chile and Uruguay, both of which are formidable opponents for England. I think quarterfinals for England is a little too far. If Suarez doesn't play, then I think England could make it out of the group. But to win in the round of 16 as well, I don't know.

      Kristel Marcusse Forza Azzuri He said "in America," but it is still not correct. They did not make it in the top 4 in '94. The three times they have made it to the final are '74 (in W. Germany, lost to host), '78 (in Argentina, lost to host), and 2010 (in S. Africa, lost to Spain). Only one was on American grounds.

    If Italy can score, their D will do the rest. They needs to start well and be confident offensively. They cannot afford to start slow, stagnant. They should make it out of their group with England. But, that first game, Italy vs England, can be a confidence booster or killer for either team depending on the outcome.

      England can't be a great team. To be great, you actually have to be able to win matches against good opponents. The 4-1 loss to Germany in 2010 and the penalty shootout loss to Italy in 2012 are prime examples that England cannot beat top teams, no matter how close it is.

    How far this team goes depends how successful Balotelli is.

    • @TheLordoftheRavens
      @TheLordoftheRavens 10 лет назад +3

      Forza Azzuri Not really true. You can't win the most major tournaments of any team (3 WC, 3 EC) and on average finish higher than any other team in the World Cup if you can't beat good sides. I think 12 semifinals and 7 finals speak for themselves. Italy is the only team Germany can never beat. They have a winning record against teams like Argentina, France, Spain, and Uruguay. And Germany has one of the best teams in the tournament, and are considered one of the top three favorites. Italy is not.

    • @korekucher8183
      @korekucher8183 10 лет назад

      Balotelli this time will form a due with either cerci or immobile. They could be very dangerous. Previously, italy played with only one attacker, now they have become two.

    • @TheLordoftheRavens
      @TheLordoftheRavens 10 лет назад

    They are wrong about the flag. The first flag wasnt based off the french flag. The original italian flag was red and white and it was based off of the Milan flag. It was later changed to green white and red. France had nothing to do with it. The current flag of italy is different than the original. The current flag came around 1946. This is your 3 stripes.

    the flag is inspired by DANTE in the DIVINA COMMEDIA, Paradiso, the vision of Beatrice, dressed in green, white and red you ignorant!!!!
    And was chosen by Mazzini for this reason!
    Also RED is passion! not charity...
    Verde è la speme, Bianco il candore e Rosso l'ardore!!
    Let's skip the part about the italian inventions... yeah let's just ignore 2.000 years of history... don't talk about Leonardo Da Vinci or Dante.
    And forget to recognize Botticelli as the first using perspective in paintings.
    We invented Piano, yes, and the pentagram and how to wright music! For God sake!! But just say piano.

    Sicuramente quest'anno non siamo forti come il 2002(a mio avviso quella del 2002 rimarrà la squadra più forte per ancora un bel po' a prescindere dal risultato falsato), il 2004(non facemmo benissimo ma nemmeno schifo, per un soffio proprio non passammo i gironi per via del famoso biscotto) o il 2006.
    Tuttavia non capisco perché ogni volta i bookmakers e la critica internazionale debbano sempre metterci tra i settimi/ottavi più accreditati e mai dico MAI tra le prime 3/4.
    L'hanno fatto il 2006 e abbiamo vinto il mondiale, nel 2008 ci sottovalutarono ugualmente e arrivammo comunque ai quarti.
    L'hanno fatto il 2012 e siamo arrivati in finale(E sappiamo in che condizioni. Non l'avremmo vinta comunque ma di sicuro in circostanze fisiche diverse non ne prendevamo 4 manco per il cavolo).
    E poi il 2013, cioè l'anno scorso, terzi, a questo torneo chiamato confederation che ultimamente sta guadagnando importanza.
    Solo nel 2010 abbiamo fatto male.
    Ditemi cosa ne pensate!
    Quest'anno vedo pimpanti il Portogallo, l'Argentina e il Brasile. Attenzione all'Olanda e alla Francia.
    Noi con questo team dovremmo arrivare ai quarti se le cose vanno bene. Ma non credo riusciremo ad arrivare in finale(non sono scaramantico o cose di questo tipo, ma al momento la nostra difesa non mi convince tantissimo).

    TEN ITALIAN INVENTIONS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
    Sometimes people have really good ideas and they don’t even imagine the consequences of their implementation in the everyday life. I’m sure Leonardo Da Vinci didn’t expect us to use his inventions till nowadays, and in some cases we are still discovering new ways of applying them to the new technologies.
    Some researchers just discover things by chance and some others were looking for a completely different invention and found something else.
    You might have heard that Italians are inventors, and I’m telling you it’s true with a few examples:
    1. Telephone: invented by Manzetti (1844) and Meucci (1871)
    2. Plastic: yes, the one we use every day in many shapes and colours, it was created by Natta in the 60′s and sold with the name of Moplen
    3. Piano: this musical instrument was born in 1698 (in its modern form) and was invented by Cristofali
    4. Battery: Volta was the father of this invention (1799). The measurement unit Volt takes his name.
    5. Glasses: a great invention for people who can’t see very well, born during the 14th century
    6. Bank: a system created in Northern Italy in 1462, during the Renaissance
    7. Radio: invented by Marconi and the Spanish Cevera in 1895
    8. Highway: the first proper motorway was the one connecting Milan and Laghi, built in 1923
    9. Microchip: Faggin created this small but so important component of every electronic device during the 60′s
    10. Helicopter: invented in 1930 by d’Ascanio

    I didn’t mention food on purpose, but what do you think about pasta and pizza? For sure there were some ancient forms of those, maybe in China says somebody, but the one we eat today are known as Italian.
