Can players come in and out?

 

[Bianconero81]

Nope. This is the provisional squad of 32, which shall be whittled down to 23.

Some shitty defenders and midfielders in there, but the attack seems ok. It's weak, but it's the best Italy have @ the moment. Matri, Pazzini, and Gilardino have all been off form for the past few months, so I see no reason to call them up.

Fuck Aquilani

 

[Fr3sh]

Well answered my friend.


Despite the weak attack, we'll manage. Cheesio will bang in goals!

 

[Salvo]

I don't see why you wouldnt call Pepe, Matri is also a handy player.

 

[Salvo]

Italy are lacking a proper CF.

 

[Fr3sh]

Call up Super Pippo!!! He'll do some damage!

Del Piero--Inzaghi reunion for the Azzuri

 

[icemaη]

Pirlo has to be in top form if Italy has to salvage anything from this Euros...

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Pirlo has to be in top form if Italy has to salvage anything from this Euros...

Nope, it's all up to Cassano

 

[da_ledgeaun]

That forward line really is not that good,I hope Destro gets the final call,the only prima punta,and Pepe should really got the call..I mean,we need a winger,at least 1..even when Lippi went with the 4-3-1-2 he had Camo.. I really hope Giach gets chosen..

 

[ALC]

I feel like Matri and Pepe deserved a call-up. Nice to see Giach there.

the attack is dreadful, Balo would have to go hot all month if they stand a chance of anything.

If you look at the called up players, then all of them, are players which started to shine and the END of the season. Not First, thats why Matri isn't playing.

 

[YasoR17]

Then Paolino should have been called up.

 

[JuveJay]

Italy are lacking a proper CF.

Luckily Prandelli doesn't really use one. It's a fluid midfield and attack, so a two-way forward like Balotelli, Destro or Borini suits the system. Those are all 1 in 2/2.5 strikers, backed up by Cassano, Di Natale or Giovinco, plus Marchisio and Nocerino in midfield, should be enough goals in the team.

 

[.AB.]

Attaccanti: Balotelli (Manchester City), Borini (Roma), Cassano (Milan), Destro (Siena), Di Natale (Udinese), Giovinco (Parma).

Prandelli's choices
