Fuck Traore, he's shit. Put in Cheikh Mbengue at leftback. The only player you could put at centerback is Kaboul :shifty:
Aren't there any other decent young French CBs?If so it could be a problem for them in the future...
Fiorillo
Motta Santacroce Bocchetti Santon
Marchisio Cigarini Poli
Giovinco Rossi
Macheda


lol, WTF it's that? :lol:
You tell me.
Btw, at the euro i expect the Serbs to be a big hit again.
They are traditionally strong here. 2 finals and 1 semifinal in the last 3 championships.
This time they have an extremely talented generation, even though for most of you their players are unknown. From the better known players they have Kacar (Hertha), Sulejmani (Ajax), Djordjevic (Nantes), Smiljanic (Espanol), Tosic (Manchester United), Ljajic (Manchester United), Rajkovic (Chelsea, on loan to Twente). They could also field: Kuzmanovic (Fiorentina), Subotic (Dortmund) and Obradovic (Partizan).
The Serbs have some serious talent,as always:agree:

There aren't many decent centerbacks no, and yes it is a problem for France. There is however Adil Rami from Lille, i'm not sure if he's under 23 though. But i didn't mention him because i was hoping he'd opt to play for Morocco, but apparently he just recently told the press he's choosing France.

Rossi didn't get called up which means he'll be playing for Lippi at the Confederations Cup this summer with the NT (most likely)...

Marcello didnt post the lineup of the U-21 tourno, but players who are eligible to play for them and are in the right age group, basically comparing best talents of these nations in those ages. Not who will make the squad or not. Only half of those spanish players will be in the U-21 because th restare regular NT players, same with the frenchies, while Italy its only Rossi and perhaps Motta too. Argies, all of them are regular NT players, or outside it, like Zarate (Higuain, too, which wasnt mentionned).

Italy has more of an age seniority thing with the NT and club selections (NT is like this due to the clubs) then these other nations, as you can notice with these countries already having their best talents in the NT. For example, even if Balotelli is the youngest of the italian talents, he has played enough recently and been in hot streak (think its 9 goals in 12-13 starts), that if he was from any of the other countries, he would alreay have a couple of caps.

This is true. And alot of people are annoyed by this as they wish that the likes of Gio and Balotelli would've played by now (WC10?). The Azzurri is very much a seniority thing though. Pazzini and Quagliarella were the latest to crack the lineup. I expect after the conf. cup and the U21 tournament Lippi will try and bring in some new faces.

Balotelli will need to get his act together though as Lippi won't bring in a trouble maker. Look how he is with Cassano, and Cassano has been picture perfect all year!!

Ok team. Not too strong though. I don't know how strong the other teams will be (i only know the Serbs, who are pretty strong), but if some of the others are at the same level as the Dutch, the Serbs and few more from the last 2 championships, then Italy won't win this.
