From an interview with Donadoni about the Azzurri: (link)
Rather than rely on the likes of Del Piero and Cannavaro, Donadoni also stresed that he would like to blood a new generation of talent. “I’m hoping that younger players will play a bigger role in the squad. Our youngsters are amongst the most promising in the world and we need to exploit them. "Domenico Criscito needs more experience, but it isn’t easy to be playing regularly for a big side like Juventus at his age. He is still one of the best in his age group. “I’m watching Giuseppe Rossi with interest and also I’m following Riccardo Montolivo, Alessandro Rosina and Marco Borriello. These players are the future of the Italian national side.†(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Borriello? |

Boriello is already 25... and has scored like 5 goals in a gazillion games... For God's sake... Donandoni, just shut your mouth.

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)  Nah ... They won the world cup ... What more can you achieve (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The current team is old, some players retired and the rest are playing their last competition in Euro 08. Italy will be out with a new team, just look at the young players at the moment is Serie A, you have a bright future for them (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif) |

Wow, the England players are dropping like flies.
First this week was the almost always injured Michael Owen getitng hurt again. He's had his surgery and Sam Allardyce thinks he'll be back within a couple of weeks, but...it's Owen. Today, John Terry suffered a depressed fracture to his cheekbone. He'll be operated on tomorrow but BBC seems to think he's a major injury doubt. |

Everytime he gets hurt they always leave him another 2 weeks or so, as precaution. If Terry doesn't play the Euro qualifier for England against Russia, I'd be shocked. If JT can walk, he'll play.

From acmilan.com, here are the Azzurri call ups for the round of international games:
PORTIERI Amelia (Livorno), Buffon (Juventus), Curci (Roma). DIFENSORI: Barzagli (Palermo), Bonera (Milan), Chiellini (Juventus), Gamberini (Fiorentina), Grosso (Olympique Lione), Oddo (Milan), Panucci (Roma). CENTROCAMPISTI: Ambrosini (Milan), De Rossi (Roma), Gattuso (Milan), Mauri (Lazio), Montolivo (Fiorentina), Pirlo (Milan). ATTACCANTI: Di Natale (Udinese), Foggia (Cagliari), Iaquinta (Juventus), Lucarelli (Shakhtar), Quagliarella (Udinese), Toni (Bayern Monaco). Bonera got a call up. Yay! Somewhat surprising (to me, at least) is the absence of both Rocchi and Del Piero. Del Piero /did/ say he'd only play as a striker, though. Guess Donadoni took him at his word. |

News update on the Azzurri (from Gazzetta + the figc site):
1. Ambro practiced with the team today 2. Apparently so did Iaquinta 3. Sadly, Chiellini did not (and that worries me as there are a lot of defenders out. God help us, we may have to play Grosso). 4. Buffon will captain the side for the game, as Cannavaro is suspended. |

Italy need Grosso!
Without him, we'd be looking at Germany's name in the record books as 2006 World Cup winners. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Oct 10 2007, 06:11 PM |

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) He was destined to do well only in the WC! He was never capped before that and he shall never be capped again! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

He's having a disatrous time at Lyon too. The French press are blaming him for Lyon's poor performance in the CL.
