Just about to make a thread on it, should be a good game would have loved for it to be at the Olimpico. The Italy starting line up is pretty much how you'll go into the Euros aint it? bar Chiellini.
Arshavin and Dzagoev

Yeah, pretty damn close to it.
I'd like to see Giovinco in there, though.

The Italian national anthem is awesome. Super Mario is singing his heart out!
This should be good. Great friendly/practice for both sides.

Dark blue doesn't suit Mario.

Does anyone know if Roman Pavlyuchenko normally starts for Russia?
Also, good effort by Mario.

Balzaretti is excellent.

Hows Arshavin doing? I imagine he's strolling around the pitch doing fuck all.

He's had a few good moments.

He was selected but shouldn't be starting over Maggio, imo.

You know more about Italian football than me, fair enough.
Both sides are actually very strong in all departments in my opinion. Both could do very good in the Euros.

That's it, though. He's really inconsistent.

No doubt about it, Pirlo is the best midfielder outside of Spain.

Russia's wing-play is solid, Arshavin included.

Kerzakhov is a mong, Arshavin was free there reminiscent of the run he made for his 4th goal at Anfield.

Seriously. Thankfully Chiellini will be playing instead of Bonucci.
