Pirlo was the creative force tonight, as he always is.

Zambro, well lets just say I wouldn't lose sleep if he got molested by a giant squid

Criscito sohuld be Italys LB, I like palombo in the midfield but De rossi not so much...

 

[X Æ A-12]

DF: Motta, Santon, Criscito, Grosso, Boccheti, Canna, Chiellini, Gamberini

Thoughts?

It's too late for Italy to make major changes for this WC.

If they were going to revamp the squad, it had to be done at the start of qualifying.

As long as Pirlo continues to play behind the strikers he can start

Palombo shouldn't be in the squad

Those aren't major changes mainly the changes would be for players who wouldn't start excluding the forwards and Zambrotta who should be changed

I agree, too late.

It's England's tourney anyway.

You know what? I think they'll go far. Win it? Maybe not but Capello is doing a good job.

what? they moved up the WC to the last week of october no but seriously 8 months is an eternity in soccer

England are capable of winning it, but they won't, of course.

Spain and Brazil are head and shoulders above everyone else.

It is not too late at all, I hate that excuse we have 8 months and a couple friendlies left plenty of time for the changes I suggested

argies about to kick off, peruvian national anthem is 5 minutes long

You think two friendlies is enough to prepare a new squad/team to take on the best in the world?

The Dutch look good too, but we all know that the favorites before a world cup rarely are accurate. I would like to point out Brazil, Spain, and Argentina at the last world cup and France, England and Argentina in 2002. Germany were not favored at either of the last two world cups and far outdid the expectations, as well as Italy and France in 2006. I guess my point is that being a favorite before the world cup means little

 

[JuveJay]

What you see with Italy is pretty much what you will get, maybe a change or two up front and in midfield. Don't hold your breath on Cassano either :O

argentina midfield :

Perez Masch Di Maria

And Aimar Forgot about him.

Some hilarious inclusions though.

Lol it's not a new squad only several adjustments but the core of the team is still there. Would you not agree that Zambrotta and Palombo should be benched for Motta/Santon and D'agostino? The main change would be in attack and Cassano-Pazzini play together at club level and would likely form a much better partnership than Gila-Iaquinta. I don't expect these changes I am sure Lippi will continue in his ways but I only wish we could get rid of Zambrotta and get a new strike partnership

if we include el payaso might as well include messi

I liked the google results I got for "el payaso"

They're going for a 4-3-3? Can't see much shape apart from 'pass to Messi'.
