Nesta, Maldini, Casiraghi, Pagliuca, Di Matteo, Costacurta
Di Livio, Cannavaro, Del Piero, Zola, Lombardo.

Just googled it and saw that the photo is from a friendly match against France in 1997. It finished 2:2. Del Piero equalized from the penalty spot in the last minute.

I knew the line up too I watched all these players many times. It was the year they played France and the result on that match that I had to google.

WC 98 was really good tournament, but Di Biagio has ruined it

Giaccherini

sau and agazzi

Agazzi is a good enough 4th choice, remember this is a 31 man squad.

Where is Verratti? Is he playing U21?

 

[oldlady87]

Pirlo again ? give the guy some rest.

He is. Not sure what Prandelli is trying, but he has quite a few creative midfielders in the squad. Maybe he'd rather Verratti played instead of sat around.

 

[Gian]

Ranocchia was called up? He fucking sucked all season long.

 

[Klovn]

Pirlo again ? give the guy some rest.

Any clever coach would have picked Pirlo instead of given him alittle rest.

Who is the alternative?

23 man squad predictions for Confeds.

GKs: Buffon, Marchetti, Sirigu

Defenders: Abate, Antonelli, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, De Sciglio, Maggio, Ranocchia

Midfielders: Marchisio, De Rossi, Pirlo, Montolivo, Diamanti, Cerci, Giaccherini

Attackers: Balotelli, El Shaarawy, Giovinco, Osvaldo, Gilardino

I don't know all the fuss about Giaccherini. I love the guy coming off the bench, always full of energy. He's such a versatile player, Prandelli wants someone like him on the squad forsure.

That's 8 Juvetini, 9 if we sign Diamanti.

Cannavaro?

Ranocchia sucked this season imo.

 

[Salvatore]

I think it'll take spectacular performances from an uncapped 31 year old to make it into Prandelli's team for the first time. A Barzagli type deal.

He (Frog) won't be a starter and his place in the squad is still in doubt, Ogbonna/Astori have kept him out of a tournament before and I think they can do it again.

 

[tyouto]

Giaccherini

Giovinco

I think Ogbonna instead of Ranocchia, but otherwise the same.

I actually really like that he included Agazzi (even though he clearly won't be selected) and not that Viola-Interista cocksucker Viviano.

Agazzi is a solid, reliable keeper. Very underrated in Serie A.
