Poll: EURO 2008 Group C_ (4 Viewers)

[Juve per sempre]

my first thought after seeing our group is that we have to get rid of that idiot DONEadoni to have any chance of advancing out of this group of death

Actually,unless Donadoni resigns or smthing,I dont see the Italian federation sacking him before the Euro.
& Of course he wont resign so it is Donadoni for the Euro,so lets stand behind him.

Italy and Netherlands...

Anyone wanna try to predict the Italy squad?

For me i'd go with

GKs: Buffon, Curci, Abbiati
Defenders: Zambrotta, Canna, Materazzi, Panucci, Oddo, Chiellini, Barzagli, Grosso
Midfielders: Pirlo, Gattuso, Aquilani, De Rossi, Perrotta, Rosina, Camoranesi
Strikers: Toni, Iaquinta, Palladino, Di Natale, Quagliarella

 

[Bozi]

as said before if italy start slowly as they usually do then they will be home early. however with so much at stake and with these teams there i fully expect them to start flying, france will shade it but i expect romania to pull off a shock on the way, will be very tight and could come to goals scored

I love the conspiracies that come after each draw

Actually I have a vital question, I know I used the expression Group of Death but why do these tough groups are given this description?

You think that Abbiati will get in ahead of Amelia?

3 or 4 teams having a chance of making it past the group. For one team which is a team with high expectations, it is time to die from the competition.

I am hoping for a squad that looks more like this for Euro 08 :malt:

Goalkeepers: Buffon, Amelia, Curci

Defenders: Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Chiellini, Barzagli, Grosso, Matrix, Oddo, Panucci

Midfielders:Gattuso, Pirlo, De Rossi, Perotta, Camoranesi, Ambrosini, Aquilani/Montolivo (depending on whether Aquilani is injured or not)

Strikers: Di Natale, Fabio Q., Toni, Iaquinta, Del Piero/Gila depending on who gets their form back

I would like to see either one of Aquilani, Montolivo, or Rosina make it into the squad. TBH, all of them would be a great choice, I would just take the one that is in better form. And I agree with the rest of the team.

relax take it easy, the games are 6 months away, who knows what can happen in that time

amiela for curci
DP/ inzaghi for palladino
and persoanlly, I would want legro over barzagli but that won't happen.

Fair guess... I'd say the following could break in too depending on form/injury:

Goal: Amelia, De Sanctis
Defense: Legrottaglie, Pasqual, Bonera, Zaccardo
Midfield: Zanetti, Ambrosini, Nocerino, Montolivo
Offense: Gilardino, Del Piero, Inzaghi

I would personally take this 24-man roster:

Goal: Buffon, Amelia, Curci
Defense: Zaccardo, Oddo, Cannavaro, Chiellini, Barzagli, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Grosso (Legrottaglie if Materazzi unable to regain form)
Midfield: Pirlo, Gattuso, Aquilani, De Rossi, Montolivo, Camoranesi, Rosina
Offense: Toni, Iaquinta, Del Piero, Di Natale, Palladino, Gilardino

I think the key to this group is a combination of skill, youth, guile, tenacity and speed. Guys like Ambrosini, Panucci, Perrotta have run their course. I'd have to see if that injury slowed Materazzi down, he suffered a very serious injury, and at 34, his days might be numbered.
