In his position he is the best option. The hell you talking about, u loco.
Cassano is very good back up 2nd choice to DP, hes played well with his team and scored 12-13 goals DP, 8 in 3 games

doesnt make him in front of DP.
Italy always have the best strikers when going into these big tournaments but how many do you think will get the playing time.
euro96 Italy had the likes of Zola and Casaraghi.
98 WC 1st game Chiesa and Inzaghi got a cameo role. Baggio later on also but it was Del Piero Vieri.
euro 2000 Vieri was injured so it was mainly Totti, and Pippo
2002 it was supposed to be DP Vieri and Totti but Trap being Trap left Piero out.
Im saying that Italy are lucky to have such forwards but your gonna see the same big name strikers play and the rest are going there to watch. Maybe even Alex! I doubt Cassano or Miccoli if he goes will play a big role I mean look at Montella. A truly great striker but in every comp he has to accept that sub role. In the 2nd striker role for Italy Alex is 1st choice.
