Ahhh man... I guess the Totti, Del Piero, Baggio times are no more.

You just love watching Azzurri with players like these even if they don't put in their best display performances but they're always watchable.

 

[bianconero]

Up to a point they have the best team in the world.

Unfortunately that point is the goal line.
After Buffon it all goes downhill.

I thought I wouldn't cheer for them without Alex there but I still like that shitty team :frown2:

These are the called ups missing the Roma and Merda(if there's any) players. So that's not the final name list of those going to SA.

The Roma and merda players aren't included due to the Coppa final.

that's only De Rossi worth mentioning...Toni

 

[bianconero]

Have they got a pair of blue shorts big enough for Totti's backside?

I doubt it, so don't expect him to be called up.

 

[Jasp]

De Rossi will get called, can't belive he hasn't picekd Aquliani.

What tactics did lippi use in the qulification? Lippi does not stike me as a 4231 or 433 coach....

Good formations though...but Totti will probably play

that's great.

Buffon thinks Zaccheroni should be among the candidates to replace Lippi.

Cassano: "My wedding is planned for June 19 and there is no way I would postpone my wedding. Not even a call-up for Italy's national side can change that."

He used both formations.

Cassano: "My wedding is planned for June 19 and there is no way I would postpone my wedding. Not even a call-up for Italy's national side can change that."

I hope Lippi calls him up and he cancels his wedding.

So you support USA in sports where they're (often justifiably) arrogant, but in the one major sport where they're reasonably humble, you refuse to support them because they're arrogant in the sports where you do support them and you don't like that. Riiiight.

To each his own my friend I enjoy watching the US when they play Basketball for example, and since a lot of the players I admire and recognize form part of the roster, I am naturally inclined to support them.

 

[Bianconero81]

Just shows he's a gloryhunter.

Of course I am Andy Just because I don't ascribe to your views, or share your sentiments doesn't make me a glory hunter.

You enjoy Barca's style of football, don't you? I enjoy the way Team USA play basketball. Does that make me a glory hunter because I enjoy seeing them winning?

 

[Bianconero81]

Anything beyond the quarters for this mediocre Azzurri team will constitute a miracle.

Brazil, Spain, Holland (if fit), and a surprise team in the semis.

I have a sneaky feeling England and Germany might make it that far, but since I dislike them both, I hope they stall at the QF stage, as I can't see either of them exiting the tournament before then; the same goes for the lucky French, who got such an easy first round draw.
