Okay, he didn't take Cassano. Understandable. Why the hell did he then take Gattuso? The man's not going to see a minute on the pitch. An over weight Totti or an older Del Piero would have been better wasting that space on the bench than Gattuso.
Italy will qualify if they win against Slovakia regardless of the result of the Paraguay-NZ match. But with this form, I won't be surprised if Slovakia beat Italy.
