How on earth Lippi missed the fact that Quagliarella is the only inform striker Italy had in this tournament? Nevertheless I love Fabio only for the effort he made, even if he wasn't truly successful at the end, still some fantastic stuff from the guy today. Too bad that Chiellini, de Rossi and...

Because there are 3 forwards there and they should be involved the most in the attack? It's their job not fullbacks or defensive midfielders job to make assists and combine in the final third, it'd absurd if 7 guys ran their asses of both in the defense and trying to create in the attack and...

When Italy will start to believe that they can do it, they will start blowing everyone apart. Their biggest problem seems their confidence, Germany is as talented as they are in every line, but they are way more confident and don't stress so much about everything. Hopefully Buffon won't rush...

Forza Italia! Would love to see them beating the shit out of Paraguay, and actually I can see them scoring 3 or 4 goals tonight.

I highly doubt that players from Catalonia, Basque Country or Canary Islands wants to win the WC because of their love towards Spain and citizens. NT football has been business just like club football for ages now, I'm sure D.Beckham is as happy about crazy Chinese people in England shirts as...

If he's taken, I think it will be the Perruzzi at 2006 case, he's got the spirit and experience. I really can't see him starting. One of my 2006 favorites. It the depends on Camoranesi and Pirlo really, if these two are on top form, I'd say Italy are as good as any team.

S.Korea didn't reach semi-finals. They were dragged by referees till the semis. No one should hail that.

It's not about the names, it's about coach and players form. Grosso were on form in 2006 and 2008, I believe he'll be at his best again in SA. Chiellini-Panucci destroyed Villa-Torres partnership in 2008, for me older Chiellini who has played a lot together with Cannavaro seems even better duo...

I think Italy will win the WC.

Lippi should think about team first and foremost. If Totti is capable of leading that team (I highly doubt that) or if he's satisfied with lesser role (may be the case), he should go to South Africa. The only chance for Italy to win it is if they are as united and powerful as team as in 2006 not...

Well i wouldn't bet against Latvia in Greece, the most important games are the ones where Latvia under Starkovs always has played to it's very full potential. In the most recent games we won 1:0 in Israel and Switzerland escaped a loss against us in Riga (2:2).

I'm sure the Azurri 2009 is way more worse than the one we will see in 2010. There's so much to improve.

I think Lippi just hates how everyone tells him to pick Cassano, and all this action italian football society and journalists take to get Antonio in la Nazionale just pushes him back. If they'd shut up for once, i think there would be a lot bigger possibility that Lippi actually calls Cassano up.

how can you say that? if gattuso is having no problems in 2010 and plays like in the first months of this season, then there is no better option. and di natale is definetly going to start if lippi plays 4321, which i believe he will do. two reserve players dont change my point that italy...

Buffon Zambrotta-Cannavaro-Chiellini-Grosso de Rossi-Pirlo-Gattuso Camoranesi-di Natale Toni With the likes of Amelia, Gamberini, Legrotagglie, Motta, Giovinco, Aquilani/Marchisio, Montolivo, Iaquinta, Del Piero, Rossi and others on the bench and with a master like Lippi at helm this team still...
