WCQ: Italy vs. Scotland, Belarus (1 Viewer)

[danielão]

The World Cup qualifying takes off again next week, with Italy playing two matches.

Saturday, September 3: Scotland vs Italy
Wednesday, September 7: Belarus vs Italy

The squad was named for both matches today..

Keepers: Morgan De Sanctis, Angelo Peruzzi

Defenders: Andrea Barzagli, Fabio Cannavaro, Fabio Grosso, Marco Materazzi, Alessandro Nesta, Cristian Zaccardo, Gianluca Zambrotta

Midfielders: Simone Barone, Mauro Camoranesi, Daniele De Rossi, Mauro Esposito, Gennaro Gattuso, Giandomenico Mesto, Andrea Pirlo

Forwards: Francesco Totti, Alessandro Del Piero, Alberto Gilardino, Vincenzo Iaquinta, Luca Toni

Why does Lippi keep calling Mesto? I'd rather someone like Aimo Diana. Still no Cassano. Picking Del Piero is ridiculous when he doesn't even play for Juve.

Picking Del Piero is ridiculous because he doesn't play for Juve yet you imply that Cassano should be there and he doesn't play for Roma

Lippi gave DP a chance against Ireland and he did well hence the recall.

Isn't Vieri in the squad as well? You don't have him in your list.

vieri is out with an injury i think

 

[Daddi]

--------Gilaridino----Vieri
---------------Totti
-----DeRossi--Pirlo--Camoranesi
Zambrotta-Canna-Nesta-Zaccardo
--------------DeSanctis

This is the team i hope.

 

[Stu]

I would play:

Peruzzi/De Sanctis
Zaccardo - Nesta - Cannavaro - Zambrotta
Camoranesi - Pirlo - De Rossi
Totti
Toni - Del Piero

I'm not too sure about Vieri's fitness because he missed Milan's game away to Ascoli with an injury.

 

[king Ale]

Peruzzi is more experienced so I think he should play.
and I hope Alex playes in this match.

I didn't imply that Cassano should be there. I was just pointing out that he isn't there.

Look, we all know Del Piero is only around because Lippi is the coach. There's no other reason to include him at this point.

Yeah, if they don't have "satellite difficulties".

Neither Fiorentina-Sampdoria or Juventus-Chievo were shown this past weekend because of TLN's difficulties.

And who would you call in his place?

No idea. Another headscratcher really.

Who would I call instead of Del Piero? I would definitely call Cassano ahead of both Vieri and Del Piero at this time. He may be a bit of a head case, but you can't deny his talent. But really, it's a 5th or 6th forward, so you could call anyone. Even someone like Esposito is useful.
