GK- i think he has a wide range to choose from (No Prob)
D-Canna-Nesta-Zamb
M-Pirlo-Totti
S-Gila-DP-Toni

Grosso should be added to the group

i think we know who will be chosen.
buffon is safe

nesta
cannavaro
zambrotta are safe

pirlo
camoranesi
de rossi
gattuso are safe

totti
gilardino
cassano
toni are safe

the spots that are open are the rb/lb situation and striker position. along with the whole bench.

grosso, zaccardo and i think cassetti will battle out.

esposito and di natale will fight out the final spot for the forwards.
and vieri will have to fight very hard to keep his spot because of iaquinta's age and im sure he'll have another good season for udinese.

de sanctis / peruzzi for number 2.

matterazzi/barzagli might both be picked for the cb bench.

For the goalkeeping spots obviously Buffon has the numero uno, while we have to wait and see how Abbiati plays for Juve to consider taking him. De Sanctis is still a very good keep.

Nesta, Cannavaro, Zambrotta are certainly going and IMO should be followed by this select few:

Oddo
Bonera
Barzagli
Falcone
Grosso
Chiellini
(latter two could be used in midfield)

For the midfield Camoranesi, Pirlo, Gattuso, Totti all have a place in the squad, and so do these players IMO:

PALOMBO
De Rossi
Fiore

In attack Gilardino and Cassano will have a place in the team, and also Toni will be taken to Germany because I think he will have a great season for La Viola. He's an underrated forward who is basically the prototypical target man Italy needs, especially with Vieri not doing much to warrant a place in the side. Also:

Di Michele
Lucarelli
Del Piero

    Yeah, that's one way of doing it.. But I think Lippi's gonna stick with his current selection system..

    You know..

    This is the formation I would propose for the Italian NT

    ------------- Gilardino --------- Toni
    -----------------------Totti-------------
    -----------Gattuso - Pirlo - Camoranesi
    Zambrotta - Cannavaro - Nesta - Zaccardo
    -----------------------Buffon------------------

    Bench:
    GK: De Sanctis, Peruzzi
    DF: Grosso, Barzagli, Bonera, Oddo
    MD: De Rossi, Barone, Diana, Esposito
    FW: Lucarelli, Del Piero, Cassano

    Note: Pirlo is irreplaceable, hard to find a defensive playmaker.

    Y some of u left out Gattuso? He's a good combative defensive midfielder.

    well for now i think that De Sanctis should be in gigi's place , he played an AMazing game against Roma in the weekend i think that game should be enough


    in defense i think nesta- cana are definant favourites....as well as zambroo.. grosso did well in the past games so he looks good for the LB position. I liked bonera in the past and i think he will get another crack.

    NO MATERAZZII please and oddo as well they r not good enough

    in midfield camo,pirlo, de rossi played veryy well gattusso as well
    i liked barone from palermo hes a rock and i think hes a better choice than de rossi.

    in attack totti, toni look like they have their place already cuz they played very well against belarus, i think alex should be their untill cassano is called back.....vieri should be dropped as well as gila.... and di michele should be there
    lucarrelli should be recallen as i dont wat does this need to do to be called for the azzuri..

    other candidates are esposito ,barzagli, iaquenta
