Why don't Italy ever consider Pablo Osvaldo? He had a great season for Espanyol and has been linked with top clubs.

He played for the U21s but you never hear of him ever being considered.
Plays outside of Italy and isn't headlining enough (like Rossi) to gain attention in Italy. Maybe should move to a bigger club, this form hasn't been long term yet.

I think he has proven so far to be the better player at international level, quite probably also at club.
I'm not sure how could you show that one of Aguero and Rossi proved to be better at int. level than the other one. You can only compare their u-21 international career where the Argie was the best player of the world cup winning team while Rossi achieved nothing, but how did you come to the above conclusion about their senior career at international level?

829 - Italy completed 829 passes against Estonia tonight, the most by a team in a EURO 2012 qualifier. Domination.
9 completed passes per minute? 829 (exactly the same as the number you show) completed passes per match was the world record until 5 months ago when Barcelona broke it.
That's like 80 completed passes per player. Did Italy play with 11 Xavi's? I bet the number is wrong.

It doesn't matter who it was against. It's still a number I'd find believable only if it's Barca against Almeria, where they take an early 3:0 lead and then Valdez and the defenders pass to each other all match long.
i just want to say that italy still isn't good enough to win the euro's next summer

yes barca is :delpiero: :p

Germany are a better team than Netherlands ATM.
Italy won in 2006, can't win every world cup ;)
