Haha that is much easier. Just pick every player to get injured and you will be 90% correct

 

[pazzainteramala]

I dislike Italys current squad

same here we will go no where i know it lippi is a hard head.

For juve-players (so 80% of th NT ) injuries are usual weekly, so maybe you will fail this challenge

or you can trust Lippi, he will take the injured gobbimerda players to WC

Definelly...

Anyway, seriously talking it's embarassing see player like Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Camoranesi in the formation...i can understand the gratitude...but that's too much.

They played Paraguay already??? God, stop analyzing formations and player call-ups before the man even chooses!

Cannavaro and Zambrotta are most likely going to be there, but Gattuso and Camoranesi are definitely not locks...

Calm dawn man.

as Italian i know what i'm talking about....the man has already choosed and if you deny that, it means that you don't know Lippi and is ideal of "club Italia".

I am Italian too...please stop acting like you know more than everyone else. Until he releases the squad, NOTHING IS DEFINITE.

Anyways, we all see your picks, if you get it 95% right, which you said you are sure about, then you win.

So, if you're italian you should know like me Lippi and his picks system..but, whatever, we'll see...

 

[rsz85]

Gattuso is a sure for Lippi. He has said it lots of times.

Ok, i love challenges


GK: Buffon, De Sanctis, Marchetti.

D: Zambrotta, Gamberini, Cannavaro, Chiellini, Legrottaglie, Criscito, Grosso, Bonucci.

M: Pepe, Pirlo, Gattuso, Marchisio, De Rossi, Camoranesi, Montolivo.

A: Di Natale, Iaquinta, Gilardino, Borriello, Pazzini.

I won the bet my friend! Unless there are any injuries from now until the WC, you will have at least 2 players wrong.

Here is the 30 man preliminary squad:

Goalkeepers: Buffon, Marchetti, De Sanctis, Sirigu

Defenders: Bocchetti, Bonucci, F. Cannavaro, Cassani, Chiellini, Criscito, Grosso, Maggio, Zambrotta

Midfielders: Camoranesi, Candreva, Cossu, De Rossi, Gattuso, Marchisio, Montolivo, Palombo, Pepe, Pirlo

Strikers: Borriello, Di Natale, Gilardino, Iaquinta, Pazzini, G. Rossi, Quagliarella


No Gamberini and no Legrottaglie. Now you must do as you agreed to and acknowledge Lippi's brilliance!

 

[brehme1989]

I thought it would be much worse

So 1 keeper will be cut from the squad(most probably Sirigu)

Perhaps 2 of the forwards, and my guess is Rossi and Borriello.

I can't see Pepe, Camoranesi and Cossu in the same squad, so one of them could be cut. And there's also Maggio who can cover all right side, but he's doubtful as well in my opinion.

One of Bocchetti, Bonucci and Criscito will stay home, and one of Cassani, Grosso and Maggio will stay home as well. Can't see Cannavaro and Zambrotta not selected for the World Cup by Lippi.

And the 7th player to be excluded is one of Gattuso, Palombo, Pirlo and Candeva(different from the rest in terms of play). My guess goes to Palombo for reasons only Lippi could answer.

My guess is:

Sirigu
Cassani
Bocchetti
Candreva
Palombo
Quagliarella
Rossi

So if Lippi calls up Marco, will you change your mind?

hell no 4 years can change a player drastically. anyway i hope im wrong man the league gets enough of a bashing as it is. it would really fuck shit up for alot of ppl out there if an italian team won the c.l and the n.t won the w.c at the same time.

The blog on Football-Italia really turned my stomach. This 2010 World Cup looks eerily similar to the 1986 Word Cup
