I'm wondering if that's the real reason Lippi doesn't want him on the National team. He's worried Cassano will pull a goofy prank on someone more tightly wound and get broken beyond repair.

Sweet Saviour of Fragrant and Aged Cheese, that was painful to watch! And I only watched a wee bit.

I am of two minds on putting him on the National team. On the one hand, I'm concerned about the tantrums, but on the other, he's a talented player...

OMFG! They were soooo terrible on defense. Kaladze is clearly not up to form yet.

That's the thing, there's no balance in him and that's likely to bring about another Totti-Poulsen incident. Only without the spitting and probably with fisticuffs and blood.
