No doubt. But Chiellini must go. Anyone see how he played against Inter/Milan/Roma? Rock solid, totally merked Ibra even before his knee injury.

The way Materazzi has been been playing lately it would be the greatest thing in the world if Nesta came back.

Dont be surprised if Nesta isnt a typo, he has been playing with some serious fire and would very much expect a change of heart from him. Only time will tell…

It looks like the list nick, but that’s just the list they put on the euro 2008 official website of players that have made at least one appearance in qualifying. Also that can’t be the list because Morgan De Sanctis isn’t listed.

Out of the 12 qualifying matches, Pippo played in 4, if I’m not mistaken and scored 3 goals.. 2nd top scorer behind Toni..

Borriello only has 2 caps to his name.. He’s had 1 great season, definetly in form, but who was he before this season?..

What’s obvious is that he’s definetly taking Toni, Di Natale.

Iaqinta is injured..

Toni, Di Natale, and Quagliarella are all locks. They will definitely be going. The other two spots are open. Even though Borriello has had an amazing season and is top scorer, I don’t think Donadoni will bring him, just because he’s inexperienced. I think Donadoni will succumb to media pressure and bring Del Piero as well. Also, I think Donadoni has always been a big fan of Pippo, he was a consistent call-up for most of Donadoni’s tenure, and now that he’s scoring again Donadoni will give him the back-up Toni spot instead of Borriello.

Francesco, you’re forgetting Iaquinta and Borriello. Scratch Pippo, Donadoni’s never been a huge fan methinks.
