- Thread starter Camoranesi16
- Start date
toni has a great chance of making the squad,but will he be in the starting 11 from the word go?
i dont think so.gilardino and cassano will probably be the ones lippi would use in the start.
---------------buffon-----------------
bonera----nesta----cannavaro----zambrotta
-----------gattuso------------------
------fiore------------pirlo
-----------totti----------
-----casasno---gilardino

How many players are actually going? Say 25.. here is my proposition:
GK: Buffon, De Sanctis, Roma (Peruzzi)
DF: R: Bonera, Zaccardo (Oddo), C: Cannavaro, Nesta, Materazzi, Barzagli, L: Zambrotta, Grosso (Chiellini, Favalli, Pancaro)
MF: Totti, Pirlo, Gattuso, Camoranesi, De Rossi, Diana, Blasi, Fiore (Barone)
AT: Gilardino, Cassano, Toni, Vieri, Del Piero (Iaquinta)
Buffon; Bonera, Cannavaro, Nesta, Zambrotta; Camoranesi, Pirlo, Gattuso; Totti; Cassano, Gilardino
Other possible candidates (I have included every player that has featured for the Azzuri since Lippi took over and and a couple more
): Abbiati, Antonioli, Curci, Pelizzoli, Storari, Panucci, Felipe (is he italian?), Cassetti, Terlizzi, Legrottaglie, Dainelli, Volpi, Baronio, Corini, Donadel, Mauri, Pinzi, Maresca, Morfeo, Mesto, Coppola, Langella, Esposito, Rocchi, Di Vaio, Brienza, Di Natale, Di Michele, Miccoli, Pazzini, Montella, Corradi, Caracciolo, Bonazzoli, Lucarelli...

Right now I don't know about Roma, as he's out with a lengthy injury which could mean surgery so he might have problems recovering in time. Abbiati could replace him, or Peruzzi. Chiellini will most likely go to the olympics with Italy, while the doors are still open for Oddo if he keeps up his good form. Blasi hasn't played much this season and hardly will, so I doubt Lippi will take him. Corini could replace him. Similar story with Vieri, although his chances are bigger, and Cassano, although I doubt he will be benched forever. Iaquinta must start scoring again if he wants to go to the world cup, and Del Piero should make it I think, especially if Cassano won't. Guys like Miccoli and Caracciolo could just make it if injuries strike.

WOW A Swedish person asking about the Italian team and disparaging Dp, what a surprise?
I have made concerted effort to ignore idiots who constantly bring up stupid Dp-Zlatan garbage.
Reading in a thread about Italy how Zlatan would not have been good enuff to do such and such is just annoying
Good thread but wrong person to create it

how can many of use say that cassano has a starting role in the national team he shouldent even be consdered as a reserve, he hasnt played for ages and as lippi said if he doesnt play regularly again it is imposible for him to be selected.

Totti may not be a likeable person but he's a must in the Italy set-up. His attitude pisses me off as well but he's a top player and should be in the side.
If Cassano doesn't play then it would be wrong to pick him over guys like Del Piero, Di Michele, Lucarelli and Bonazzoli but I hope for Italy's sake that Cassano sorts out his situation and finds some good form because on his day he's a fabulous player and links with Totti superbly well. Italy could have one of the best attacks at these championships with Totti and Cassano creating behind Toni or Gilardino if everyone is in the correct frame of mind.
Lippi is absolutely right when he says that DP is doing well when he plays even though his playing time is limited but for me he has to get more minutes and perform consistently in order to merit a place in the squad. IMO the only thing keeping Alex in the Italy squad at the moment is lack of competition for the support striker spot. With Cassano not playing Del Piero's only real threat is Di Michele who I don't think Lippi really rates. I don't reckon Miccoli, Di Vaio or Di Natale will be considered so...
Materazzi shouldn't be there, simple as that. I haven't seen Parma play at all so far this season so I can't comment on Bonera but I'd think that Oddo and Zaccardo would be ahead of him in the pecking order. Camoranesi, Pirlo, Gattuso and De Rossi are obvious selections. I'd have Fiore in there as well and if Maresca does well enough in Spain with Sevilla he, along with Barone, could be in contention. Personally I've always liked Enzo and he's looked good when I've seen him so far this season.
Buffon
Oddo - Nesta - Cannavaro - Zambrotta
Camoranesi - Pirlo - De Rossi
Totti
Toni - Cassano
De Sanctis
Zaccardo - Bonera - Barzagli - Grosso
Gattuso - Barone/Maresca - Fiore
Del Piero
Gilardino - Lucarelli
The third keeper would be Flavio Roma or Peruzzi.
