Whl....cmon now. What I dont get, is if pirlo played for England would he be all that? Stick Gerrard in pirlos place in the italians team and I think they would perform better.
England dont know how to use players; lampard,..gerrard...hoddle...carragher and Beardsley was only used because of injuries.
I wouldn't say pirlo is better, I wpuld say pirlo is "used" better. However, having said that this world cup actually sees gerrard in his club place, so I will be watching pirlo AND gerrard as a direct comparison.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pirlo was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch when the 2 sides met at the Euro's. If he'd have swapped sides with Gerrard he'd still have been the best player. The result might have changed though. Now that Gerrard has altered his role in the team and become a deeper player, the difference in ability between Pirlo and himself has only become greater.

Pirlo is past it
Gerrard is better these days
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not watched Juventus this season then?, he's been our best player, bar maybe Tevez
Sorry I never copied the full lot!
They all run 2mph and tackling is now banned in Italy to make sure the OAPs can still play
Serie A is shiiite

Gerrard better than Pirlo?
Major....listen, not disagreeing with pirlo in the past, but im talking about now. I dont think people realise what a high standard Gerrard has just had...he had an awesome season, but because he is always so good it gets lost.
The game will tell us of course, but sometimes people go way overboard over players like pirlo and dismiss England's players; gerrard can do everything pirlo does, pirlo cant do everything gerrard does.
Whoever has the better game will see their team win.
Too close to call who is better/will do better.
gerrard can do everything pirlo does

No he can't.
Gelson Fernandes had a better game than Xavi in the 2010 WC, doesn't mean he's a better player, Gerrard could score 6 goals by nutmegging Pirlo and he still wouldn't be a better player
Mancs....never lose them tainted specs even for their country.

That's priceless coming from you.
I've read a lot of drivel on here but this is in the top 10 I would say. Suffice to say the other 9 are also headed by GB.

Yes, because of course you aren't displaying any bias or stupidity are you? It's offensive to say Gerrard is better than Pirlo, it's actually offensive, you should be banned from watching the World Cup for having that opinion

Italy's most stylish midfielder since Gianni Rivera, will go down as probably the best they've produced. No mean feat in itself.
I love Gerrard & all he's achieved for us but he or very few others for that matter would have done a better job than Pirlo in that midfield for the past 10 years.
He's been that good.

Unless you think Adam is better than Modric.
