I highly doubt any manager would go to a one month tournament with 5 defenders. There is no way he's dropping Bonucci BTW.
IMO the defenders will be: Canna (CB), Chiellini CB), Bonucci (CB), Zambrotta(RB), Criscito(LB/LWB), Bocchetti(LB and CB) and Maggio (RB/RWB).
And LOL @ taking 4 goalkeepers. You cant be serious.
Again, he needs to drop another five players and if you break it down this is how I think it will be decided.
GK: Sirigu (Id rather keep him than De Sanctis)
DF: One of Maggio/Cassani will be dropped
MF: ONe of Cossu/Camoranesi will be dropped
FW: I see it as a battle between Pazzini/Borriello and Quagliarella/Rossi to be dropped.

Report: Prandelli pens Italy contract
Sunday 30 May, 2010
Cesare Prandelli has signed a four-year contract to take over the Italy squad after the World Cup, according to reports.
Sky Sport Italia claims that a meeting between the Fiorentina Coach and Federation President Giancarlo Abete took place this morning.
It is believed Prandelli put pen to paper on a four-year deal that will take him through Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
There are still some details to be clarified, such as his staff and potential buy-out clauses.
Marcello Lippi has already stated he will leave the Azzurri after the World Cup in South Africa.

Great World Class International Manager there
He won't, he'll call up the players for the next generation. Players reach a certain level of ability, experience and recognition only by playing in international football, CL football (maybe getting moves to those clubs soon), but it'll be a transitional period for Italy. Two years ago look where Marchisio was, or Chiellini in 2006, players like Bonucci, Ranocchia, Balotelli, Santon, Poli or whoever gets the chance will step up to that level.
