I think Italy subconsciously underestimated Costa Rica. Nobody seemed to turn up to play today. Touches were sloppy, passes were off the mark, finishing wasn't up to par. The offsides pissed me off the most though. How in heavens name does Cerci manage to find himself offside so much when he's looking across at the line the entire time!!
The subs themselves weren't bad but you can't control Insigne, Cassano and Cerci ALL having bad games at the same time. The starting midfield of Motta, DDR, Pirlo wasn't going to create jack all so I hope Verratti's flu symptoms were actually serious enough to warrant him spending the whole game on the bench. Darmian needs to go back to RB and bring in De Sciglio at LB. Chiellini was absolute dogshit today and last game but Italy doesn't have much better ATM.
Italy need to play MUCH better to even get a draw against this Suarez-inspired Uruguay side.
