Can Italy Win The World Cup In 2014?
I always thought Italy has been a growing team after the 2010 world cup(where they were lacking). They played well in 2012 and the confederation cup. Im sure they will be much better in 2014 and hold the likes of Brazil, Argentina, or even Spain to win the cup. I think their still trying to come back as the team they once were in 2006, but agreements and disagreements are welcomed.

Yes we can. No one ever gives us a chance, always underestimate us, like during the euros everyone said we would get crushed by the germans and said "germany should play with 10 men just to make it fair", yea how'd that turn out.
Right now we have to stick with the 3-5-2, it works. Played great vs spain in the group game and tied
1-1, and we played much better then them in the confed cup. We also have no good fullbacks for a 4 man defence, abate is not good, de sciglio is still young, criscito has been plauged by injuries, and maggio is much better at rm/rwb then rb.
With the 3 man defence i like it better with de rossi playing as the sweeper, but we dont have another midfielder like him, i think he will be one of the most important players, considering how well pirlo will do, once pirlo goes, de rossi slides right into his spot and it'll be great.
We also have a ton of young players with great ability coming up. Insigne, verratti, de sciglio, gabiadini, florenzi, immobile, SES, saponara etc.
At the end, i think we have a good shot at it, we are better then argentina, we know how to play against germany, and spain now, the team that worries me is brazil

No I think we will make it to the Semi Finals though. I really don't see a European country winning in Brazil, but then again I didn't see Spain winning three Cups in a row, so you never know. Sirigu Santon De Sciglio Ogbonna Abate Florenzi Verratti Marchisio Insigne El Shaarawy Destro

YES WE CAN DO IT.
MARCHISIO, PIRLO, BUFFON (HOPEFULLY, BUT IF NOT DE SANCTIS), MONTOLIVO, ABATE, OSVALDO, GIACCHERINI, GIOVINCO, BONUCCI, BARZAGLI, CHIELLINI, EL SHAARAWY AND BALOTELLI.
IS THAT NOT A STRONG SIDE TO YOU?
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE REVENGE FOR THE EUROS FINAL.
and spain can't rule forever, and we always beat germany, brazil and argentina are both strong but we can beat them.

It all depends on if Italy is able to make it to the semifinals without playing Spain. However I think the next time they play Germany the Germans will end Italy's winning streak against Germany.
I think Germany will win the world cup but Italy has the same chance; like Holland, Portugal, Argentina and Brazil. A lot depends on group draws and being focused.

Ofcourse Italy can win - Italy needs to be carefull when they face opponents like Brazil and Germany.
It has been proven Italy with 3-5-2 formation is a fantastic team when in full force.
Its a shame that clubs like Inter are a piece of crappy sheeit dat dont contribute to the italian national team, because they suck so much.
Nowadays a true italian dont play for inter because inter is a pile of sheit and der fans are a bunch of motherf*ckeing Kunts.

I think Spain,Brazil,Argentina and Germany right now are better but after all Italy did get to the Euro cup finals so they are definitely a challenging side although i think they weren't in their best form during the confederation cup.
