By the way... G. Rossi was amazing when he came on. I don't see why there isn't any big team after him...

most horrible Italian defense ever..

robinho made the Italian defenders seem ridiculous with his awesome goal..And wtf did Pirlo do over there and lost the ball??..Unbelievable mistake for an experienced player like him..

after a pathetic Euro2008,Italy's signs are not that convincing at the moment..

and I agree with shahz taht Legro must never again be among the call-ups for the national team..

wake up mr.Lippi..

if you're neraz
I think the problem was Cannavaro not Legrottaglie seriously.

On another note, as bad ass as Robinho's goal was, I don't know how he got away with pulling the crap out of Pirlo's shirt. Pirlo is a lazy ass. I can't believe how terrible he played, Gilardino, Montolivo and Pepe were all invisible.

Grosso, Zambrotta and Rossi were the whole team, and Grosso should've had a goal, that linesman must've forgot his contacts at home.

Btw why can't Julio Cesar make bad ass saves like he did this game for Inter.........wtf?

Grosso's goal was offside.
Cesar makes many saves for us.
BTW, this Brazil team is probably the weakest in decades. So, Lippi should really-really think and make changes. Cannavaro?Dossena?

Balotelli did alright he was involved alot and almost scored on a nice volley.

I didn't see the 2nd half, Acqua scored on a PK but I don't know how he played.

Anyways, che vergogna! 1-1!

Tonight our Azzurrini will play against Austria -21. This is the squad. Important players are being left out, because Casiraghi want to give chances to other talents. That's where friendleys are for.

Goalkeepers: Fiorillo (Sampdoria), Seculin (Fiorentina)
Defenders: Ariaudo (Juventus), Bellusci (Ascoli), Crescenzi (Roma), Darmian (Milan), Malomo (Roma), Ranocchia (Bari), Renzetti (Albinoleffe)
Midfielders: Barilla' (Reggina), Bolzoni (Inter), Castiglia (Cittadella), Cia (Triestina), Di Gennaro (Reggina), Pasquato (Empoli), Poli (Sassuolo)
Strikers: Immobile (Juventus), Mendicino (Lazio), Paloschi (Parma).

On 31 march they will play another friendley against Holland -21.

And the Big Azzurri are playing saterday (28th) and wednesday (1 april) against Montenegro and Ireland for the qualifying round of the World Cup 2010.

Goalkeepers: Amelia (Palermo), Buffon (Juventus), De Sanctis (Galatasaray).
Defenders: Bocchetti (Genoa), Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Chiellini (Juventus), Dossena (Liverpool), Gamberini (Fiorentina), Grosso (Lione), Motta (Roma), Zambrotta (Milan).
Midfielders: Brighi (Roma), De Rossi (Roma), Foggia (Lazio), Montolivo (Fiorentina), Palombo (Sampdoria), Pirlo (Milan).
Strikers: Di Natale (Udinese), Iaquinta (Juventus), Pazzini (Sampdoria), Pepe (Udinese), Quagliarella (Udinese), G. Rossi (Villarreal).

The probably line-up is:
Buffon; Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Chiellini, Grosso; De Rossi, Palombo, Pirlo; Quagliarella, Iaquinta, Di Natale.

But I want to see:
Buffon; Motta, Gamberini, Chiellini, Grosso; De Rossi, Brighi, Montolivo; Quagliarella; Pazzini, Rossi. (or Di Natale instead of Quagliarella)

Lippi is like a Milan coach. He is relying too much on old players who don't do very well lately. He should give some youth players chances. I don't want to see this squad on the world cup, else we can't defend it.

Balotelli already plays in -21. Only as I said important players like Viviano, Giovinco, Acquafresca, Balotelli etc aren't beeing called up because this are 2 friendleys, and Casiraghi wants to give 2 chances to other talents. Just to see...

Motta has made the step to the Azzurri. Nice one. I hope more will follow.

Santon is playing for Italy -19, and he could be the right replacer for Motta. I think he will be called up next season.

I know. But how come balotelli is not called up this time for even U21? Is the boss pissed at his attitude last time?

Eehh....can't you read? I told it 2 times in both posts.....

Important players have been left out, so other talents can get a fair chance. This is where friendleys are for.

In fact. Almost the whole squad of the Azzurrini is new. There are only 6 'veterans': Bolzoni, Paloschi, Di Gennaro, Poli, Ranocchia and Seculin.
