[danielão]

Well, it's that time again. Donadoni is getting ready to get the squad together for two crucial Euro 2008 qualifying matches.

October 7: Italy vs. Ukraine - Stadio Olimpico(ref: Vassaras, Greece)
October 11: Georgia vs. Italy - played in Tbilisi(ref: Riley, England)

The squad will be announced on Sunday. So get all your hate and abuse towards Donadoni before the matches start, but try and mix in some positive thoughts as well.

FORZA CAMPIONI DEL MONDO!!!

Italy's winning the 2006 world cup was damn similar to the one in 1982.so if all the things are up to be repeated,Italy won't be qualified for Euro 2008 as they couldn't be qualified for Euro 84!

Maybe my eyesight is bad but I can't seem to find Totti anywhere. Is he not called up for the 2 matches???

 

[Wraith]

Totti said he didn't want to come back until 2007, when he'd be in his best form. Otherwise Donadoni would have picked him, he's been haranguing Totti for the past month.

I'm surprised that Cassano was left off...anyone know why?

 

[rain]

I didn't know about Totti. Btw, Cassano is out because he plays like shit. I really dont know. (Seriously though, he does play like shit)

 

[sateeh]

Donadoni showed thats hes an idiot. Iaquinta ffs? and Mauri? why the hell is wrong with this guy.
Cassano was the best player for Italy in the past matches and he gets dropped.

Anyway lets see wat happens against a tough team in Ukraine.

 

[Elvin]

Alex, Gigi and Mauro will do the job

Thats what im expecting... lets hope im wrong


and why on earth was Cassano dropped..!!!.. If Italy lose, its bye to Don.

 

[Maher]

another draw

 

[Boudz]

Totti can go Fvck himself. He can play 90 minutes with Roma but he cant with Italy. You dont wanna come now when they need you then fvck off and never come back. Why do the Italian Fed take so much $hit from him

 

[Albertmare]

no more juve defender in azzuri squad, wat a fact !

 

[francesco]

give the team a chance, now that the serie a has started and players are fit, should be a good game

 

[Omair]

ya that's weird no back liner from juve ...

I think donadoni is going for all out ... just to keep the job (hope he doesn't )

any suggestions for a replacement ... other than don marcelo ?

 

[Nikolaus]

i'm happy to see dp back in the squadra azzura

 

[Azzurri7]

Del Piero will get Italy back on track

 

[alex74]

Thank God the idiot got Del piero back.. and Gilardino realy has been playing like crap recently!
