He always is for me.

There are at least five players who deserve it more than Ale though. Cannavaro on the other hand, even at 36, is more reliable than most of the Italian CBs in the league.

Canna will get raped Dule, but who else is there? I would of put Nesta in the lineup but he does not want to come out of retirement. Perhaps Chiellini and Bonucci but thats a risk.

 

[JCK]

People pick Pazzini like he's Dzeko.

That's fine, people pick Criscito like he's Evra.

 

[king Ale]

And you pick Santon like he is better than Evra.

I pick Santon as the best Italian left back.

 

[king Ale]

This is what I'm saying all along. They also pick Criscito as the best Italian left back, Cannavaro as one of the best Italian CBs and Pazzini as one of the best strikers in the league at the moment

Pazzini's goal to game ratio is better than any Italian striker at the moment, Criscito plays consistently while Santon does not. The Canna argument well......

 

[king Ale]

Who is more deserved to play alongside Chiellini then?

Who is more deserved to play alongside Chiellini then?

Nesta if he came out of retirement and Bonucci both of those two have had more consistent seasons than Canna has.

 

[king Ale]

Isn't Nesta injured? Playing Bonucci is a risk coaches won't take at World Cups.

 

[Salvatore]

Yeah Nesta is out for the rest of the season practically.

Ranocchia got injured at the wrong time in his career.

This team can do well in the World Cup but we all know that Lippi won't field anything close to this.

According to Castrol, Italy have a 3.6% of winning the WC.
England- 10.4% USA- 2.4% (0.2% less than France) New Zealand- 0.0% Brazil- 23.6%

Fair for Italy lol. But so low odds for France?

Spain is good too.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

France should be lower. The no-Zidane and star boy Domenech factors.

Totti: "My return? I don't know. I have not talked with Marcello Lippi. I'll have to check my physical condition and then see if the team wants me, so there are many things to consider."

Totti was/is a great player, if not legend...but isn't it a bit silly that he comes back now? He didn't give a sh#t when they played friendlies nor qualifications. But he'd come back 1 month before the WC and just jump in? Isn't that a bit sad? At least other players give their best and if he decides to come back they won't go. Looks messed up IMO.
