Sadly you guys wont be seeing Giovinco (or Marchisio, De Ceglie, Nocerino and Lanzafame). Been called up for the Toulon tourno (preparation for olympics) that starts the end of this month, and if I havent mistaken the date of this aussie game, its supposed to be in 30th of may. Casiraghi likes our players 
So the question is, who the fuck is gonna be on this squad? Our senior players who wont go to the euros (Nedved!), and our current primavera. Will be a thin squad.

:
i dont think we will concede, melbourne won the title 2 seasons ago but since then they have been shocking, even losing to teams from Vietnam! They are IMO one of the most out of form teams in the a-league lately, and i dont see them suddenly playing well against the likes of Trez, Nedved, Legro, Zebina, etc etc
The cruel game of football is full of examples of top footballers who will always be remembered for the wrong reasons.
Argentine superstar Diego Maradona had a magnificent career in which he brought joy to billions of fans for a decade with his outrageous skills.
But sadly he will always be remembered for that infamous “Hand of God” goal he scored against England in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico City.
Flamboyant Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, who like Maradona is a world champion, graced the game by his mesmeric mastery of the ball.
But that moment of madness in the latter stages of the 2006 World Cup final in Berlin when he head-butted Italy’s Marco Materazzi is what he will mostly be remembered for.
It’s unfortunate and utterly unfair but that’s the way football is.
Italian giants Juventus fall very much in the same category.
The Old Lady is Italy’s best-loved club and has millions of fans around the world.
The Bianconeri are also one of the pillars of European football and next week the team from Turin are coming to Australia to play Melbourne Victory in a gala night at Telstra Dome on Friday 30 May.
Juve's rich pedigree was tarnished in 2006 when the club, renowned for doing things in style on and off the field, was found guilty of match-fixing and was demoted to the second division – its reputation in tatters.
The club is now back in Serie A where it belongs and trying to rebuild after the turmoil surrounding the scandal that rocked the world game.
Make no mistake, Juventus are huge. They are to Italy what Real Madrid are to Spain and Manchester United are to England: a traditional club with a massive following, a winning culture and a stature that enables it to draw the world’s finest players.
The list of players who have worn the famous black and white stripes since World War II would form a who’s who of world football: from Giampiero Boniperti, John Charles and Omar Sivori in the 1960s to Ciro Ferrara, Alessandro Del Piero and Zidane in the 1990s.
When Italy won the World Cup in 1982, Juve had six players in the first team: Dino Zoff, Claudio Gentile, Antonio Cabrini, Gaetano Scirea, Marco Tardelli and Paolo Rossi.
Two other Juve stars, Michel Platini and Zbigniew Boniek, took France and Poland respectively to the semi-finals.
Only one other club in world football has provided so many players to a team that won the World Cup.
Bayern Munich had Sepp Maier, Hans-Jorg Schwarzenbeck, Franz Beckenbauer, Paul Breitner, Uli Hoeness and Gerd Muller in the West German team that prevailed in 1974.
Juve also have done pretty well for themselves in terms of winning trophies at home and abroad.
They are still Serie A’s most successful side with 27 league championships.
However, two UEFA Champions League titles and two Intercontinental Cup wins would appear to be a paltry return for a club that over the years invested heavily in the greatest players money can buy.
Under the managership of Claudio Ranieri, Juve are assembling a new team that still contains remnants of the pre-scandal days – like goalkeeper Gigi Buffon, midfielders Mauro Camoranesi and Pavel Nedved and strikers David Trezeguet and Del Piero.
Juve will play in the UCL qualifiers next season after finishing third in Serie A that came to an end at the weekend.
So the Old Lady appears to be well on the way to erase her darkest days and resume her love affair with millions of Italians.
True football fans in general would be just as delighted to see her strut her stuff on the international stage once again.
Welcome to Australia, Juve.
