Lippi's choices/decisions are very weird and I don't know the reason behind his selection of this squad.
Didn't he say that he wanted to try new faces?
If you want to try new faces why not take Giovinco with you and try him? Gila,Iaquitna,Rossi,Toni combined can't dribble to save their lives.
Why take Gattuso who has been sidelined since months?
Why keep Toni, we already know what he can offer and what he's capable of doing. Plus, he's very predictable.
I see plenty of contradictions TBH. I love Lippi but things don't look good to me. Had the States remained with 11men on the pitch, I would have expected a tough 90min for Italy. A real tough.
