Nocerino on the Azzurri?

God, I hope he pisses you lot off just as much as he did to me last season.

Congratulations.

Marchisio should have been there

I think Lippi is on the right track with that team. Perhaps with the exception of Nocerino and Pepe, looks like a very good squad.

good to see Rossi and Santacroce .......

Where is Giovinco? Yes, I'm serious.

ITALIA(4-3-3) - Amelia; Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Chiellini, Dossena; Gattuso, De Rossi, Montolivo; Pepe, Gilardino, Di Natale

Why Chiellini?Couldn't he field Gamberini?And convocating Pepe is like convocating Molinaro.

Why Chiellini ?

I just heard the answer for that question on a Bulgarian TV station where the reporter said "Lippi decided Chiellini to mark Berbatov"

 

[Christina]

Chiellini this game and Gamberini for next, I guess.

Yeah,sounds reasonable.I just though he could use a little rest after all the games with us.Remember his injury?

As long as Giorgio doesn't start both games I can live with it.

Me too. Plus, I'm sure Lippi is cautious of his injury so it's best he plays earlier on and gets a longer rest.

Yeah.
Also, considering all the missings in Italy, the Bulgarians will try to take this chance and they'll go for the win.
Bulgaria has a very weak defense and ok midfield but the main power of this team is in the attack where Martin Petrov operates on the left side and Berbatov plays in the center.
In order to stop a strong and technical guy like Berbatov, Lippi knows that he'll need Chiellini, even if he's not at 100%.

Montenegro also has a tall and technical player up-front (Vucinic), but it's a home match against a weaker opponent so Lippi can take the risk and play someone else instead of Giorgio. But today he needs the best in defense.

 

[Bjerknes]

Weird ass selections by Lippi.

 

[Bjerknes]

Loving the Brazilian flavor on Bulgaria. Italy would be better if they had some of that, too.

 

[rb77]

wich channels in the midle easterns areas(to be specific i mean lebanon) are showing this match??

 

[Elvin]

So Azzurri did go back to the old system, where starters take numbers from 1 to 11.

I wonder if Don Lippi has anything to do with it...

 

[Bjerknes]

Pepe Sucks.
