So the defence line will Probably look like:

--Zambro--Barzagli--Chiellini--Grosso--

(it's been along time since i wrote Zambro's name in formation....)

I'd prefer this to putting Zambro on the left and Panucci right.

totally agree with you
zambro gives a lot more than panucci

Donadoni has renewed his contract until 2010.

 

[Roman]

Probably... though I kind of think Materazzi would be a better partner for Chiellini than Barzagli. Either way, you can bet both will be getting earfuls from Buffon.

From what i heard Matrix is just not 100% fit...if so let Barzagli play.

i don't know,but i have a feeling that he will play good.
and now when Canna is not there everyone will step up.


Forza Azzurri!!!!!!!!!!

 

[francesco]

according to news on eurosport, barzagli, chiellini and gamberini will be fighting to partner materazzi in defense.

 

[gray]

Damn, Canna is gonna be an Englishman for the entire EURO08

Canna's gonna be a referee?

 

[Vinman]

It is great, it will be even greater when Materazzi tackles Pirlo and sends him to the sidelines for four months as well. Also Chiellini tackling Luca Toni and forcing him out is not that bad.

what will be better is seeing Sweden go out in the first round

So the defence line will Probably look like:

--Zambro--Barzagli--Chiellini--Grosso--

so would I

If I was Crapadoni this would be my formation
-------------------------Buffon

Zambrotta------Chiellini--Barzagli-----Grosso

---------Camoranesi---Pirlo----De rossi

----------------Cassano-----Del Piero

--------------------------Toni

I don't care what anybody says but I think that formation is dominant. It's an aggressive team and it could make up for not having Cannavaro, but I think Chiellini can rise to the challenge. I am still not so sure about Barzagli and Grosso tho...

TBH I think I am still in disbelief that we won't have Cannavaro. It's just so awful I don't wanna believe it.

sorry but im no fan of that formation. Camo needs to play in a more advanced position, and Di Natale must start he is in the form of his life.

Yeah I agree Toto needs to be starting. He has earned the starting spot on the Azzurri, imo.

Oh yea, I would love to see that too! Losing the opener against Greece by only 1-0. DRAWING with Spain 2-2 and losing to Russia 3-0.

hmmm .. now question rises up .. wouldn't you want to see Spain to crash out again like always? And what about Russians? isn't the EUROs better off without them?

 

[JCK]

When I said that I want Sweden to draw with Spain it was to make sure both teams crash out.

this formation leaves too many loopholes but each to his/her own. I would prefer it if Camo goes further up front. everyone has their own fantasies though

I too think Chiellini can rise to the challenge, I would opt for Chiellini-Barzagli as well, Barzagli on his own may not be the brightest but partnered w Chiellini, I think it could work out.

Agree about the Panucci part. Its the only way the Azzuri can put anything close to decent expercince to the back 4 if there's Zambro and Panucci rather than Zambro only. Still sux though that its the actuall centre of defence, where experience is most vital, where there is no cover ,from an experience perspective at least

 

[Omair]

Ok now Sweden, Spain and Italy .. who else? Obviously Portugal since you hate Ronaldo .. I don't know if you have anything against the Czechs and the Germans ..

Ok .. the French, the Dutch or the Romanians?

 

[HelterSkelter]

Pirlo...brilliant pass to Cassano..20 seconds remain.its 1-1...Cassano does a one two with Del Piero..Del Piero passes to Toni..Toni passes back to Cassano..Cassano moves in..dribbles past the Vanaderassholesar..and passes to Del Piero..and GOAL!!!

Copy and paste this.This is what'll actually happen.

 

[Red]

The goal is then disallowed causing Cassano to strart crying.

He then throws his shirt at the referee and challenges him to a fight outside the stadium...

 

[Dostoevsky]

Don't know if someone said it but ref will be Frojdfeldt.

 

[Brixity]

In almost every programme Ive watched reviewing the Euros (including the clowns on ESPN PressPass) they have been saying Spain and Germany are the favourites to win and I just dont understand the frequency with which I'm hearing this. This is even before Canna was out for Italy.

This brings me to the question of which group is paired with Group C for the quarters coz maybe these "analysts" are taking it from a path perspective
