its worrying when you have a man advantage for damn-near 70 minutes against an out of form France team, and all you can muster is a goal on a deflected free-kick

We still have problems, guys....and I hope we can solve the problems with our offense starting next game against Spain

to be honest, offensively we're doing what we need to do. Our offense is built around toni. We're providing him good service and he just can't seem to find the net. He should of had a hat-trick against france. If we're going to win he needs to bury his chances.

Camo could get a crack in the midfield ahead of Aquilani imo. He would provide a lot of mobility through the center and if he links up with cassano they could crack spain's defense and create more chances.

The options in the midfield will depend a lot on whether Donadoni wants to change his approach to the game or not. In the France game the midfielders were creating from deep positions and i dont think thats the best way to go.

The Italian team against Romania were much better.

I too think we were very poor against France, we really didn't create much and I don't think Cassano started off better.

Donadoni is lucky that Domenech is coach of France, thats all there is too it.

i think donadoni is the one screwing up with the selection of strikers. alrite, he took del piero and cassano. that made sense because both of them are magicians who can create goals. but neither of them are No.9 finisher. and with 2 more strikers to pick, he picked Toni, which is fine because he did score 41 goals in germany league. But he picked Borriello along, whcih is a big mistake. omg borielli have not been proven on international stage yet and he have not even played in our 3 games in euro so far. i think donadoni should have picked inzaghi or gilardino. at least these two players have proven for italy that they can score goals.

Not sure about Gilardino though...

T-Pain is a sub par rapper whose only claim to fame is using the synthesizer. Hip hop like T-pain gives the rest of this magnificent genre a bad name.

PS - Andy is my hero.
