[Alessandro]

I hope Foggia, D'agostino, Cassano and Santon get called.... Dump Toni, Dessena, and Pepe.

[lonewolf19]

Santon and Balotelli both would be dream.

Santon and Balotelli both would be dream.

Balotelli was called up by Casiraghi...so he will not be in this game. I am keeping hope alive for 2010 though!

[Ilkinio]

He should put up ~20+ goals performance for that.

[Alessandro]

Goalkeepers: Buffon (Juventus), Marchetti (Cagliari)

Defenders: Bocchetti (Genoa), Cannavaro (Juventus), Chiellini (Juventus), Criscito (Genoa), Grosso (Olympique Lione), Santon (Inter), Zambrotta (Milan)

Midfielders: Camoranesi (Juventus), D’Agostino (Udinese), Marchisio (Juventus), Palombo (Sampdoria), Pepe (Udinese), Pirlo (Milan)

Attackers: Di Natale (Udinese), Gilardino (Fiorentina), Iaquinta (Juventus), Quagliarella (Napoli), Rossi (Villarreal).

SANTON
Please someone kill Zambrotta!

[Alessandro]

No Cassano... At least D'Agostino got a chance. Di natale? U joking Lippi?

[alvaro]

Some improvement as Toni and Dessena have been left out. Camoranesi, Di Natale, Iaquinta and maybe Pepe still need to get the fuck out. Zambrotta is okay if he's for bench.

[Alessandro]

Di Natale stole Cassano's place and it makes me Vomit.

[Interista Gallese]

What kind of team is Re Marcello il Gobbo playing tonight? All vecchi or some giovani? I'm planning to watch the game tonight, particularly if Santon is likely to get a look-in.

Well he said Criscito and Marchisio will start, so it looks like he will try the young guns today!
