From Gazzetta, for the 26 men Euro Squad there are 22 that are sure

Donnarumma, Sirigu
Florenzi, Di Lorenzo
Bonucci, Chiellini, Acerbi, Bastoni
Emerson, Spinazzola
Verratti, Jorginho, Barella, Locatelli, Sensi
Insigne, Chiesa, Berardi, Pellegrini
Immobile, Belotti, Kean

I don't think Grifo makes it, I would hope its Raspadori in his place.

It's a shame that Zaniolo will miss the euros.

it's a shame they have only 3 juve players. we should still own spina and kean, and get 2 of verratti, barella and locatelli.

btw cragno > sirigu for me. i'd be happy to have cragno at juve, he's a good goalie.

I think the the remaining places will be filled by third GK, Mancini, Berna and ?. I could see the last spot going to a versatile player like Pessina.

I know it's San Marino so it's like playing against your neighbourhood kids, but how is it possible that Bernardeschi plays like a completely different person for the Azzurri? Completely different intensity and will to perform than with Juventus.

This tournament is all about the strikers for Italy, the rest of the team is good enough to compete with anyone.

I feel like Belotti is the one who has the most potential to have a big tournament.

yeah, he's out. he didn't impress vs san marino apparenty :shifty:

also out: cragno (good goalie, i'd pick him over meret), lazzari, castrovilli, raspadori (why? guy's great imo), grifo and biraghi.

i don't get how emerson could be in the squad after having played line 6-700 minutes all season (and zero minuti in the league in '21) for chelsea.

I’d cut Toloi and Cristante.

Pessina is a pressing machine and provides nice late runs in the box. I think Toloi is a better pure defender than Mancini, but Mancini is more versatile imo. Also, Toloi mainly plays in a 3 man backline.

Plumberson Failieri and Turdeski :yuck: :inter:

Mancini definitely has his favorites.

I don't like Fagjinho, but I can at least understand why he's there.

Raspadori, Kean and probably Castrovilli should've been selected.

Midfield looks solid, and CBs (where is Lovato?) are good. Attack, namely the strikers, and fullback positions seem suspect.
