I love the team. Super excited to see Giovinco and Italy has for the first time in ages a great wingforward/winger in Borini. Plus with Fantantonio and Balotelli in the squad, you will always have fun, Di Nate and De Rossi will add super seriousness...really, by far my most favorite team at the Euros.
I expected Prandelli would make an exciting team, since his Fiorentina used to play a very exciting style of football and Im still bitter about how Bayern beat them with that offside goal.
Specially having Pirlo back playing one of his best football again is amazing. Players such as De Rossi, Marchisio and Nocrino would provide enough freedome for him to shine like how he did in Bianconeri jersey. Having players like Buffon, Pirlo, Cassano and Di Natale are very important for younger players specially Mario who can learn from them specially some manners.
I think this matchfixing stuff actually can unite the squad. Criscito home being raided, Mauri getting arrested, Conte being under investication are horrible news for all the players and usually it makes them to play with their heart and make the team get closer to eachother like family. In 2006 matchfixing stuff and Pessotto committing suecide did the same stuff for the squad that caused them win the WC.
