Can't wait!

Goalkeepers: Buffon (Juventus), De Sanctis (Napoli), Sirigu (Paris St. Germain), Viviano (Palermo);

Defenders: Abate (Milan), Astori (Cagliari), Balzaretti (Palermo), Barzagli (Juventus), Bonucci (Juventus), Chiellini (Juventus), Criscito (Zenit), Maggio (Napoli), Ogbonna (Torino);

Midfielders: De Rossi (Roma), Marchisio (Juventus), Montolivo (Fiorentina), Thiago Motta (Paris St. Germain), Nocerino (Milan), Pirlo (Juventus);

Forwards: Borini (Roma), Giovinco (Parma), Matri (Juventus), Pazzini (Inter)

Borini was initially called up for u21, but promoted.

Balolololotelli.

 

[Klovn]

Imagine Ranocchia and Bonucci playing at the same time.

 

[Osman]

Ranocchia isnt called up, and am I only one noticing he called up 4 goalies and 4 attackers...Never seen a coach up as many goalies as attackers.

I know, but Imagine that disaster it would be

I noticed it as well, but I put it down to him missing three of his favourite attackers (who else is there apart from older guys like Di Natale and Miccoli?).

 

[Fake Melo]

They were great at Bari, they even played well for the Azzurri in couple of friendlies.

Gilardino and Balotelli.

True, I forgot that.

 

[Osman]

Even suprise call up for El Sharaawy, like Borini got, and I would stop being stubborn and call up Di Natale. I mean, whats the fucking point with having 4 goalies? And Pazzini done fuck all this season.

 

[Salvatore]

Gilardino

Haha.

and Balotelli.

He was one of the three favourite attackers.

I was really hoping for il faraone deep down, get him all the experience while he's still 19.

 

[Ahmed]

Bonucci

the glory days are well and truly over.

 

[Osman]

Bonnucci has been in Azzurri for 18 months and played loads, and funnily enough played well enough in Azzurri.

 

[Fake Melo]

Prandelli said that he'll call up players that plays consistently first team football. There's the difference between El Sharaawy and Borini. The latter is getting more playing time.

 

[Lapa]

Pretty tough group to be honest.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Bonnucci has been in Azzurri for 18 months and played loads, and funnily enough played well enough in Azzurri.

Same goes for Rannochia.

 

[Osman]

Yeah, that goes without saying, he has been starter and performing a good tandem with Giorgio.

 

[Joe]

Buffon
Maggio - Barzagli - Chiellini - Criscito
De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio
Montolivo
Giovinco Matri​

That's what should be played. Borini is too young to start, Pazzini is playing like Cack. Giovinco + Matri are performing well and deserve to start.

Prandelli specifically said he'll be playing a trequartista and I believe it'll be Montolivo.

I wonder why Pepe didn't get called up?
