Pirlo still a Pearl(o) of a player

0/10 for the pun for me but 10/10 for Pirlo who still has all the grace and command of a true legend at his disposal Any England fans hoping for a diminished version of the Pirly King of Juve will be surely disappointed. Juve have won 3 titles since he arrived on a free transfer and his 2012 master class against England is very likely to happen again. At least in the group stage he wont humiliate us with a Panenka penalty. Do we have a strategy to suppress his technique and playmaking ablities ? Man marked by Oxlade Chamberlain or harried and hustled by Jack Wilshire. I doubt it. To make matters worse his efficient style seems perfect for the Brazilian climate of Manaus. Maybe need to copy the Benefica tactics which knocked out Juve. Not sure they can easily summarised but foul alot and get lots of luck. Perhaps our youthful side may win out with a shocking,unexpectedly high tempo approach, "so wrong its right", typical English style in 100% humidity with good use of substitutes could tire the Italian team with an average age of 30. I dont think I have an answer I'll stick to making rubbish puns A draw is a likely result
