Now what???.. I say Forza Azzuri

AC Milan was a big disappointment this season but that does not stop me from cheering for Italy in Euro 2008. Final matches start from 7th june with the host Switzerland playing Czech Republic. The Azzuri play their first match on 9th june against Marco Van Basten's Netherlands in the second match of the group of death.
I have to say, the inclusion of Cassano in the Azzuri squad comes as a shock to me. Roberto Donadoni has managed to surprise one but all by not selecting Pippo, who was in rocking form for Milan in the last few matches of the Serie A. Cassano, for me has an attitude problem and he needs to mend his ways to be able to start for Italy. No prizes for guessing the inclusion of Luca Toni in the squad as he will again be leading the attack after his amazing form in the Bundesliga for German giants Bayern Munich.
Apart from the retired Nesta and Totti many of the 2006 FIFA World Cup winning party remain. Defence is looking in perfect shape except for Cannavaro, who has had a poor season with Madrid and his form remains to be seen. Materazzi,Chiellini,Panucci,Grosso have all had successful campaigns. I dont need to mention Mr.Buffon. Midfeild will be creative as usual with Pirlo,Perrotta and Camoranesi and that mafia on feild Mr. Rino. With good backups in Ambrosini, whose played his best season for Milan, and the ever unpredictable De Rossi, it has been made sure that there so no lack of creative play. With great finishers like the legendary Del Piero I dont think we have any reason to be disappointed with the current World Champions. I dont have much expectations with Donadoni though and his tactics will always be questioned.
Forza Azzuri!!
