They are playing Italy. You know that, right? When was the last time Italy lost by a margin of 3 goals at a tournament?

2012 Euro, 4-0 loss to Spain
2008 Euro, 3-0 loss to Holland

Italy is not what it once was. The backline can be ripped apart.

Florenzi not playing is BS! He's like the second best player on the squad after Bonucci. God damn Conte, this better work.

And it was the Final . Italy very often found a way advance far despite playing terrible football. Can't count them out no matter how down they are.

Italy is a wild card... nobody knows how they are going to do.

My prediction? They will either crash out of the group stage spectacularly, or we will see them in the finals.

No Candreva is a better option.

What's laughable is Giaccherini and Eder in the starting lineup.

Well it's because Conte refuses to change formation. Play a formation that can include candreva up top and Florenzi back and then Shaarawy or Insigne on the other side up top.

Might as well see what Roberto Baggio is doing..

Super Mario is going to substitute himself in from the stands and score a whopping header.
