There were many of us, you know. The only thing Cannavaro can teach the youngsters is to raise your arm for a flag after you're fairly beaten by the opposition.

Nah, I'd put both of them in the refuse bin. There's this thing...I forget what it's called...yoth...ythou...OH, I GOT IT! YOUTH! Invest in it if you want to succeed. You can't expect to improve your team by picking up out-of-contract players. There's a reason why they're out-of-contract at that age. Go play in Sassari or something.

Congrats to Fabio for matching Maldini's 126th cap.

Try to change the name Chiellini with Tiago here and you are good to go.
And why can't we judge them on their bad performances? If a player has one bad day, its ok, bet if he plays like that whole time, why can't he be judged? You have to judge a player on his good and bad performances, how consistent he is ant etc. You can't judge a player only when he is playing good.

Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro insists he is not just in the squad because he lifted the World Cup three years ago.
The 35-year-old Juventus defender had a nightmare of a performance against Brazil on Sunday night.
He was clearly at fault for the first goal in a 3-0 defeat, which put Italy out of the Confederations Cup.
Cannavaro missed a fairly standard clearance and in doing so gave Luis Fabiano a chance to score. He duly obliged.
The Italian Press have railed against the team, blaming Lippi's reliance on veteran players.
“Enough already with this story about the old players. By now, it's become a fashion. If I bother you, my place is at your disposition,” Cannavaro said.
“But Lippi is the one who decides. I am not here just because I lifted the World Cup.
“Everyone has in mind the seven games I played in Germany in 2006 and in comparison with them I always play bad.
“But like Lippi I believe that the players here are the best our football can offer at the moment,” he added.
“I don't see any phenomenal players doing the rounds in Italian football at the moment. There are no more Tottis, Baggios or Del Pieros.
“We need to rebuild and not only La Nazionale. Let's start with the infrastructure, the stadiums and also the academies.
“Today it's enough for a defender to be a tall good looking blond who dribbles and thinks he can play,” Cannavaro said.
The former World Player of the Year then insisted he has no problem with Antonio Cassano receiving a call up in the future.
The Bari brat wasn't selected for the Confederations Cup despite another excellent campaign for Sampdoria.
Some believe Italy's 'old guard' didn't want him in the squad, an allegation Cannavaro denies.
“It's not true that the group didn't want him. We are all tied to Antonio. I have told him many times that he has paid for his errors.
“Lippi decides, but in Genoa he has found tranquillity and a girlfriend. I hope he does well next year and then he can come with La Nazionale. He has the qualities to be here,” Cannavaro concluded.
