Liek every alex fan i want to see him playing against Gemany.
In one thing we agree, we need to press the german defense, atleast mentally. we need to make them feel that in any single moment the go forward... Italy forwards will find a way to pass them.
This is very important because Germany players have great shot.....and of they all take the cvonfidence to coome forward...... it will mean that they dont necessarily needs to take on cannavaro and matrix to score a goal.... and we will start to see the nasty howlers coming to buffon.
My line up for this game:
--------------Buff
Gross-Canna-Matrix-Zamb
--------Gattuso--Pirlo------
Camo-----Totti-------
-------------------DP--------
----------Toni----------
With Dp playing near Lehamn´s area, which is where he wants to play and where he excels.
Zambrotta needs to do the same job that he did against Ukraine, taking a more cautious approach obviously.
Camoranesi needs to be treatening lahm all the way if we dont want this guy to ne rocketing from far away.
I would like to prove tis atacking partnership because the Gila,toni combo is not working that good. Alex has not played i his pos so far in the tournie and with his skills he can surely create soemthing with totti.

and no perrota,who's been one of the most effective team players at the world cup?
i cant agree with you on this one.totti seems to be getting in a little bit of form,he's getting better as the tournament is progressing and he should be starting.del piero should be used as a 2nd half sub.he was more effective for us last season,and i think he'll be more effective this way for the NT too.

I agree with you Hydde and I think it was a great post. axlrose85, will you really prefer Perrotta to Del Piero ?!
Hydde, and anyone else, I want your opinion on this :
a) if camo is injured - what lineup will you use ?
b) do you think there's any realistic chance that Del Piero will start in spite of what we want ? or what is best ?

I have to agree that perrota has been good, but i dont think that Lippi is playing him where he is more comfort. I would use Camo this time bceause he is one of the few italian players who like to take on defenders. He had a good display against Ukraine, and when camo is on his day, is very difficult to defend against him.
About including Dp later, in part i agree with this but not completely, check the end of the post
a)If camo is injured i would return to Perrotta which is what we have been doing in most of the mathes.
b)To be sincere, i dont think Alex will start. If Lippi didnt gave him a chance against Ukraine´s defense, i dotn think he will do it against GER.
What is best for Italy.......... i think no one knows for sure....not even Lippi itself.
IMO if we take in consideration the player´s form, Toni in the start is a MUST. First of all, Germany have very tall defenders and the physical presence of Toni and his accurary are needed here. And like Riva said (i think was him), Toni's lack of goal is not totally his fault because he has been victim of great saves and bad luck, but his movement and positioning so far has been good.
I would use camo and alex because they did very well against them in the friendly.
About including DP in the second half. Well in part this is a good thing because DP is not in the best of his phsysical form i think. This let him come with energy to do his job. He looked tired against AUS but we need to take in consideration that he had to run a lot after Matrix´s dismissal, and he didnt do better becauise Italy´s midfield was simply non existant so is not solely his fault. Sadly, always when DP comes in, the Italian team is in that phase were everyone is thinking about defendin and this is when Dp doesnt do well. IN the australian game he was playing good infact but the dfenesively measures that were taken forcedfully, nullified him.
Lets take a loook at the last friendly played against GER. He(DP) played the whole game and did a very good overall performance (yes in that time he was in his best form with juventus but i dont think he have lost all of it right now)
We used this formation if im not wrong:
-------------Buff
Zaccardo-Canna-Nesta-Grosso
---------Pirlo--Rossi------
Camo--------------Dp
---------Gila --Toni--------
and this is the one i suggest now:
--------------Buff
Gross-Canna-Matrix-Zamb
--------Gattuso--Pirlo------
Camo-----Totti-------
-------------------DP--------
----------Toni----------
We now have Pirlo and Gattuso who are good deffensive players and zamrbotta to aid DP in that side of the field when needed. My only concern is that we are facing an INspired Germany which have conded 2 goals so far if im not wrong.

Gazzetta gave camo a 5.5 vs ukraine . I wasn't too impressed either.
Del Piero and Gila really combined greatly also in the holland match...
I'm with you, though if you think about it, this is basically trap's lineup, just replace toni with vieri. and oddo with panuuci.
2 from costa rica, one from argentina.

yeh but Totti is around now, so one of them will be benched........ i think it will be DP.
yes, but Panucci is not that good, and yes it was Oddo XD (im sleepy right now)...and above all,, Vieri was pure crap before the tournament(euro 2004)...anmd Trapatoni still used him every frikking match that even remembering it makes me mad. Toni is right now muuuuuuuch better than Vieri and has more presence.
thanks

Nedved reveals Buffon exit
Monday 3 July, 2006
Pavel Nedved has revealed that he could play for Juventus in Serie B next term, even if he’s announced that Gigi Buffon won’t be his teammate.
The Czech Republic ace has confirmed that he intends to play on after rejecting the idea of retirement, even if he’s unaware of what club shirt he will be wearing as a result of the match-fixing trial which may see the Old Lady demoted.
"During the week after our elimination from the Work Cup, I decided that I wanted to continue playing," Nedved was quoted as saying in Sport.
"I want to play for at least one more season, but I don't know if I will play for just a club or also for the national team.
“At which club? I probably wouldn’t want to end my career by playing in the Second Division even if it is possible that I could stay at Juve.
“I will return to Turin soon because the new club officials want to speak with me. We’ll see what they say.
"I love Juventus so there is the possibility of playing for them, even in the Second Division,” added the man recently linked with Monaco.
"But there are other options. I could go to England or somewhere else.”
Nedved went on to confirm whispers that Buffon, the best 'keeper on show at the World Cup, is on his way out of the Delle Alpi.
"I have discussed it with Buffon. He told me he was leaving and that we would probably not play in the same team anymore," Nedved revealed. “I don’t know where he is going though.”
While Buffon is on his way, the former European Footballer of the Year conceded that Alex Del Piero would be remaining as a club symbol.
“I’ve spoken to Alex and I think he’ll stay,” he added. “He’s the main man at Juventus and they will not want to release him.”
