I don't know how I feel about this team.

[diemme]

Buffon (Juventus), Peruzzi (Lazio), Toldo (Inter)
Peruzzi over Pelizzoli?? Stupid Trap!

Cannavaro (Inter), Favalli (Lazio), Ferrari (Parma), Materazzi (Inter), Nesta (Milan), Oddo (Lazio), Panucci (Roma), Zambrotta (Juventus)
This isn't bad and no Leggro! *dances*

Camoranesi (Juventus), Fiore (Lazio), Gattuso (Milan), Perrotta (Chievo), Pirlo (Milan), C. Zanetti (Inter)
No Ambrosini. *is indignant* Still it's a damn good midfield.

Cassano (Roma), Corradi (Lazio), Del Piero (Juventus), Di Vaio (Juventus), Totti (Roma), Vieri (Inter)
This is where I'm worrying, I'm upset that Pippo won't go but I understand why he can't. I'm worried HSCV will get injured, Del P will have a slump/be injured, Totti will underperform, Cassano will be redcarded and Di Vaio and Corradi won't have the international experience to draw upon.

Someone tell me I'm being paranoid!

Precisely! Trap needs a kick up the bum.

ah! you are a lifesaver. i would have been scouring the net checking if the italy squad has been announced but nooo you're a lifesaver as i said!

and yes!!! my boy matteo is in the squad. *whew*

and you're not being paranoid. i actually had the same reaction when i read the names "Del Piero...Vieri..." over there. No Miccoli, eh? oh well... can't win them all.

Glad to be of service!
I know they are great strikers but I'm still worried...too bad silly Trap didn't include Miccoli or Gilardino as a back up.

gahhh. gahhh. i'm having the same paranoia re: strikers.

Yeah, I'm trying to cheer myself up about it by reminding myself that Pirlo and Fiore are pretty good scorers too.

I was about to protest: "Where's Dida?" But then I remembered that he isn't Italian. Stupid me. The same thing happened with Deco and Brazil before...*shakes head*

Ah, I've made my predictions for Euro 2004. Italy will meet France in the final. (Oh, and Spain will reach the semis, where they will score 10 goals, all of which will be ruled out for offside. They'll eventually get knocked out on penalties.)

All of this is before my coffee so....

I'm thinking quarters or semis for Italy with a major injury hitting one of the team. Cassano or Fiore will net most of the goals for the team. When they return home the press will give Paolo shit for not returning to the squad and demand Trap's resignation for not taking Pippo or Gilardino.

Has Spain announced their team yet?
