Cesare Prandelli's Azzurri open their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign against Bulgaria in Sofia on Friday 7 September 2012, a repeat of the fixture played on 11 October 2008 when Marcello Lippi's side came away with a 0-0 draw en route to South Africa.
Two current Bianconeri players were involved that day, though neither will be present tomorrow. Giorgio Chiellini partnered Fabio Cannavaro at centre-back and received widespread acclaim for his performance as he marked Dimitar Berbatov – Manchester United's recent £30-million acquisition – out of the game. It was also a special day for Simone Pepe (yet to become a Juve player) as he made his Italy debut.
