Goodness gracious Italy are thinking of winning the world cup, well good luck with that if Lippi continues to be this stubborn while Spain can bring Villa, Torres, Iniesta, Fabregas, Senna, Silva, Xavi, Alonso, Carzola and others, Italy have Pepe, Iaquinta, Palombo, Di Natale, Quagliarella, Rossi, Gilardino etc.
Iaquinta might look good coming off the bench or scoring when the opposition is preoccupied with DP, Trez or Amauri but he is still average and not someone to be starting a game for Italy.
His miss against a very average Montenegro side just illustrates my point. Rossi is a good player but is he really of the calibre of what Argentina, Brazil, Spain have in their side?
Are we now saying that Italy cannot produce someone better than Palombo in midfield for crying out loud?
