its as if he’s blaming the players and not himself….the formation and some players HAVE to change, is it just me, or does a 4-3-1-2 formation sound nice for Italy considering they have talents like Rossi/Cassano

well this is the last straw:

“Italian coach Marcello Lippi said he did not intend to change any of his planning for the 2010 FIFA World CupSouth Africa™, despite seeing his team eliminated from the FIFA Confederations Cup at the group stage on Sunday.”

“‘What youngsters?,’ he queried when asked at his post-match media conference why he did not pick some younger players.”

“The best team I could choose was the one standing on the pitch tonight.”

He has, HolyMann. I don’t know.

Hopefully the management watched Grosso and Dossena’s performances and if they decide to pick between the two of them..should be obvious.

enough of 4-3-3, and as much as i hate to say this, what has happened to Chiellini? he has taken a step back this year

Pepe brings some welcomed pace but he needs serious help with his crosses. De Rossi can’t seem to stay on his feet and Toni is an absolute pain to watch out there.

Lippi it’s time to bring Amauri and Cassano.

indeed, Jim. Enough of this 4-3-3 bullshit.

Mike, being mature for the Nazionale and the u-23 team are very, very different cases.
