Tell me about it, eh? I enjoy watching him get reamed time and time again by the Spanish press, and frankly I don't give a shit if he's the Italian captain.
On another note, that jersey is hideous. You don't put a white number on the front of a jersey full of gold accents. Simplicity is key...nice collar with a small white accent, white accents (ie. Puma logo, numbers, etc...), et voilà...comme un couturier. Who designs this shit anyways?
Canna: We're ready for Portugal
Fabio Cannavaro insists the Italy camp is calm ahead of tonight’s game with Portugal, despite an injury crisis and Roberto Donadoni’s contract issues.
The world champions take on Portugal in Zurich this evening as the first of their warm-up games before Euro 2008.
Roberto Donadoni’s original squad has been reduced to 19 men as Fiorentina winger Franco Semioli and Inter stopper Marco Materazzi have been forced to pull out with injuries and first-choice 'keeper Gigi Buffon is also sidelined.
“It’s true that there are lots of injuries, but the mentality of this side can goes beyond that,” Cannavaro maintained.
“Portugal are good at moving the ball around, but I think that we can impose ourselves on them.”
There has been speculation that uncertainty over Donadoni’s contract renewal may unsettle the preparations, but the former Juventus skipper claims that has not been the case.
“Donadoni has proven his quality already as it wasn’t easy to come in after we had just won the World Cup,” Cannavaro said.
“Now we are just thinking about having a great European Championships – it’s not about anything else.”

Just look at his choices, apart from leaving the most inform Italian player out(Dp), why in hell isn't Iaquinta called? doesn't he deserve another chance with the Azzurri?
Quagliarella and Borriello are in no way playing better than Iaquinta.
Oddo doesn't deserve to be called up, he's playing terrible.
and the list goes on, what a diff between Lippi and this man.
