I doubt that both will be cut. De Sciglio will be the only remaining LB in that case. If he gets an injury, Prandelli will be forced to play Chiellini at left back. He won't take such a risk.

LOL

Thats why we went home in the first round.

Not so long ago when Italy failed to qualify from groups they had a worse team IMO.

2010 selcetion was far worse.
A lot of talent in the attack, and as we know Mario Balotelli usually performs a lot better for his country.

i meant the 2010 FW group - Quags, Pazzini, Di Natale, Gila and Vincenzone

Bunch of Shite... What was Lippi thinking... Leaving home... Balo, Totti, Del, Toni and Cassano :S

 

[Dostoevsky]

Btw I'm glad to see Insigne is stepping up his game. I remember not so long ago people were writing him off. But it seems he's fulfilling his potential.

DARMIAN now don't drop him, cesare

Sometimes crazy shit happens in lippi's head - 1st time he agreed to coach inter, 2nd time he decided to use marchisio as trequartista, and as bonus - legrottaglie as our primary center defender

Giaccherini been horrible at Sunderland. He doesn't deserve to be part of it. I think Prandelli has been spot on with his initial 30.

Damn happy Criscito missing. He would have been horrible if he got a starting spot.

that's not giaccherini's fault, sunderland for the large part of this season have been horrible, and in fairness he is one of the few players to have delivered when called upon even when he comes off the bench. For Italy Prandelli ought to know by now what he brings, he is relatively reliable and was a star performer at the confederations cup last summer. I'd have taken him easily over cunts like aquilani and unproven players like parolo and romulo

Lets hope he doesnt follow the same path as Gio...

I concur.

A so so selection, would have maybe liked to see Florenzi get a shot to stake his claim instead of AquaCUNT. I can totally see Prandelli taking him and dropping someone useful like Insigne.

 

[Osman]

Whats everyones big issue with Aquilani? He has had a good season for Viola for the most part, and yeah he prolly should be cut, but earned his 30 man place. I would cut Parolo and Romulo before I would cut him. Florenzi is good, but he has completely been out of the radar because he has been benched by Roma for entire of 2nd half of the season. Insigne and Aquilani dont play the same position so that doesnt even make sense.

But good enough to be the second beat team in Europe.

@OptaPaolo: 92 - The seven forwards in #Italy's 30-man list have scored 92 Serie A goals in total this season. Assortment. #WC2014

I liked Aquilani alot but from the time he went to Liverpool it all went down hill for him.

We? Oh you mean the Digicel Cup? Yeah, you guys never make it past the first round.
