Same happens with the strikers, Balotelli is extremely overrated because of non football stuff and i dont see great young strikers. Del Piero or Totti have also been greatly missed, even Inzaghi.
Midfield should be fine.
And yes, Uruguay won just because of a corner kick, a 0-0 should have been the "fair" result.
There are no more trequartistas in Italy which is a worry but I think our defense will be fine with De Sciglio/Chiellini/Darmian, we just another quality center back. I think nicola murru is gonna be world class one day too so for full backs we are great.
Midfield should be fine I agree.
Definitely the biggest worry is our attack. I have high hopes for Berardi and destro.
I don´t like Chiellini, and not because of this Suarez thing. He has been a liability the whole world cup.
I love De Sciglio and Darmian tho. And i liked Maggio but i dont know how is his level now.
