Totti's isn't bad either

Roscio, considering the formation being played, I don't think Liverani would work as well as De Rossi, Pirlo and Gattuso. You're right about him probably being better than Barone though. Gilardino and Inzaghi both deserve to go. Iaquinta is the one I don't agree with, he doesn't score enough goals and doesn't use his strength well enough.

I don't see Iaquinta....Lippi had take Iaquinta for world cup??...Oh shit...

I should take..........Rocchi :P

***Sweey*** · 15-05-2006, 21:03

Rocchi, Lucarelli, Di Michele....these and plenty of others deserved it more than Iaquinta.

Materazzi is there instead of Bonera

Roscio · 15-05-2006, 21:04

eeheh...I love Materazzi...it's a DOG!

...if he don't take ball...he take leg

But then he gets a red card

we've already got Totti getting sent off as it is.

I like him..because...it's only in his specie...fight...fight...every time...a Gladiator! ...i like this type of players

***Sweey*** · 15-05-2006, 21:17

The ones that elbow their opponents?

You must love Tacchinardi.

Roscio · 15-05-2006, 21:49

Tacchinardi...he's Juventino!...I hate him!

Claudio Gentile. He could fair give players a bash around. Zico once said that Gentile was the best defender he'd played against as he was so skilled at elbowing you in the ribs just as the referee turned away.

That's a quality squad, but like Spain, they're lacking width. I guess it's gonna be 4-3-3 also.

I always fancy Italy to do well and this time is no difference, but they have baeen a disappointment lately.

***Sweey*** · 16-05-2006, 11:26

The width will be provided only by the wing-backs, or Camoranesi if he is in central midfield. Apart from that, a lot of the width will have to be provided by the playmaker with the strikers making runs of various random shapes in order to try and open space up.

There is a derth of wingers in Italy which doesn't help much. That's why I wanted Marchionni, a man who can play on either wing, in the squad ahead of Camoranesi.

I said a while ago i expect Italy to reach the semis at least, i still stick by that. This could be the tournament when Italy and Spain finally perform to their best.

I get this horrible feeling that your statement will come back to haunt us. I'm expecting us to screw it all up again, despite the undoubted talent running through most of the team.

I havent kept up too well with serie a this year. But what about Di natalie I dunno if hes been good this season, but I would have thought he would have been included.
