I think Totti should be there instead of Pepe or Iaquinta. Totti is still one of the best finishers in the world.

Irony: zero player from Inter Milan - almost fifth successive Serie A title holder and finalist of this year's Champions League!

anyway- One World bhai come back soon. Missing you!

[Ashraf-FTP]

Faill. Like really. Where is De Rossi? How the hell does Borielli get a chance ahead of G. Rossi? Really, some bad choices. But I guess the main team is still good. Not WC winning capabilities though

There is a general idea that most of the girl/women support Italy football team.

azzuris dont look good....2-1 defeat to Mexico is definitely a bad start to the campaign.... they looked very unprepared in the 5 mins of the game i got to see...

We all went to Katabon, but dosh hoise Pagliuka-r.

The Azzurri's underwhelming preparations for the World Cup were concluded with a 1-1 draw against fellow finalists Switzerland on Saturday, with a 2-1 loss to Mexico the only other warm-up match played by Marcello Lippi's side.

Lippi has elected to focus the squad's efforts on altitude training rather than match sharpness in the build-up to the tournament and Napoli striker Quagliarella, who netted the equaliser against the Swiss, believes little should be read into recent results.

"The coach asked us to put in a good performance in the final game before we travel to South Africa and I think we did that,'' Quagliarella told RaiSport.

"It is normal that against Mexico we suffered a little from fatigue given it was our first test since the end of the season.''

"The bottom line is that we arrive at the tournament in the best possible condition and who knows where we can go from there. Let's not forget we are still the current world champions.''

Go.
