Still breaking news, so no link to an article or anything.
Puskas played for Real Madrid in the 50's and 60's, scoring scoring 512 in 528 matches for them. Before that, playing in Hungary for Kispest/Honved, he scored an almost ridiculous 357 goals in 354 matches.
- 5 time Hungarian...
I actually hope if Cannavaro wins, he says nothing about Juventus, just so we can see the outrage on these forums. :D
I mean look, people already call him a traitor because he didn't want to play shitty second division football, imagine if he didn't thank Juve. This place would implode.
With the friendly against Turkey being the last match of 2006, thought I would post the stats of Italy's year.
Total matches: 16
Wins: 9
Draws: 5
Losses: 2
Goals for: 25
Goals against: 12
Friendlies: 1 win, 3 draws, 1 loss
Euro 2008 qualifying: 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss

Gotta disagree with that. If it has any effect on the team in this game, I would expect negative.
"Well, we just got 8 extra points, we can relax a little."

So this is basically the formation that Donadoni looked at in practice yesterday then...
Buffon - Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Nesta, Oddo - Gattuso, Pirlo, De Rossi - Del Piero, Camoranesi - Toni.
What "shit" are they talking from him? He told everyone he was going to retire from the national team right after the World Cup, so he did. Nothing wrong with that.
Then Donadoini was desperate for players for the first few games, so he went and begged Totti to come back. Why should Totti...
Gilardino and Cassano dropped. Toni, Del Piero, Materazzi, Iaquinta return. New guy is Stefano Mauri.
Goalkeepers: Christian Abbiati(Torino), Marco Amelia(Livorno), Gianluigi Buffon(Juventus)
Defenders: Andrea Barzagli(Palermo), Fabio Cannavaro(Real Madrid), Fabio Grosso(Inter), Marco...
Player interaction is better - you can ask your players to recommend signings.
