de rossi is an absolute boss organizing his back three... as if it was his natural position! you've got to admire the italians, tactically they are all on such a high level... i remember when löw tried a back three in a test vs. ukraine... pure chaos and 3 conceded goals...
cabaye was awesome but that was pretty much expected after this season - btw, pirlo too...
diarra is meh... not a good game vs. england and not really outstanding vs. ukraine...
They just aren't good enough to play with 1 goal leads, apart from that they've been impressive- minus the second half against Croatia which was just shameful
I would have really liked to see Criscito on the left, Giaccherini has been a flop
I just like Diarra's physicality, I think he does well. Saw him make some really good challenges
