    Official Azzurri (Italy) Euro 2008 Thread

    In almost every programme Ive watched reviewing the Euros (including the clowns on ESPN PressPass) they have been saying Spain and Germany are the favourites to win and I just dont understand the frequency with which I'm hearing this. This is even before Canna was out for Italy. This brings me...

    Official Azzurri (Italy) Euro 2008 Thread

    Agree about the Panucci part. Its the only way the Azzuri can put anything close to decent expercince to the back 4 if there's Zambro and Panucci rather than Zambro only. Still sux though that its the actuall centre of defence, where experience is most vital, where there is no cover ,from an...

    Cristiano Zanetti

    I watched one of his interviews about 2 weeks ago where he was talking about how he wants to be great for Juve. I also enjoyed hearing him talk about how he thanks the strikers for his high number of assists this season and how "previous clubs" didnt have faith in him to show his ability to...

    Xabi Alonso

    I just cant see how Alonso's coming jeopardises Giovinco's position. gio will be playing a roaming left wing role imo. Its still a problem though that no matter where we look, It is just extremely difficult to ever find a LW like Pav...who contibutes exptionally to attack and defence

    Whatever the case, its a Juve man. But given that Gigi will be meant to play every minute and that he is the vice to Canna, I cant see anyone else getting the armband. Just imagine Buffon lifting the Euro cup..that would be utter magic if it happened.

    I still think Don will play Panucci in the middle with Bazargli

    Are you telling me in the event Nesta offered his services, Gamberini should be taken......no way Whoever fills in better pull of what Toldo did in 2000 after stepping in as back-up for arm broken Gigi and turning out to be the keeper of the tourney

    This is some freakin horrible news. Lets see how serious this will turn out to be but its still bad. I would ask Nesta to come out of retirement tbh. He is the only world class option available. Its a once off tournament and Italia would need him as its an emergency situation so it should...

    Amauri "The Immovable Object" Carvalho de Oliveira

    I know - I'm not grilling his ability here, I'm just saying how frequently will he be given an opportunity to show that dimention is what I'm worried about. Otherwise he'll just be a 22 million (or whatever his actual cost) Euro sub

    Amauri "The Immovable Object" Carvalho de Oliveira

    Its not that he's not good, its the situation upfront I'm considering. Basically I feel like it will end up like Iaquinta's situation (or Anelka's at Chelsea) unless he completely ousts Trezz as the frequently starting centre forward or CR uses 3 strikers frequently. Its quite hard to be a 20+...

    I am 80% sure this guy wont be a big hit with us. There will just be more of dis-harmony upfront imo. Good luck anyway

    Good luck in Palermo - I cant say I'm not happy...Its like losing Blasi

    Xabi Alonso

    U cant be serious. With Giovinco being hauled back, I cant see us going 4 Diego. And about Alonso, I can definately agree that as long as Madrid enter a serious bid, we are not getting Alonso. But I dont think Madrid actually want him. They still want to keep all their CMs (Sneijder, Gago...

    Not sure I was anything like that, though I did catch the game 15 mins in. Only saw him make 1 routine-ish save near the end

    Official Azzurri (Italy) Euro 2008 Thread

    A few points on the game: - Barzagli had a very good game imo - It was good to see that DP was given a free roaming role upfront rather than the left sided hugging role Di Natale plays (who is a good player btw) - Aquilani plays great, he should definately be ahead of Perrotta in the...

    Xabi Alonso

    Xabi Alonso would be great. I'm just hoping we dont pay insane amounts for him but he would definately improve us and not to mention the quality of depth him coming entails. I'm also hoping for Grosso though. And how the hell is Chiellini not world class - the number of times that dude bailed us...
