Ironically, Alberto Gilardino played a great game against France. Di Natale is not a big game player. He’s great against Livorno, Belgium and the Ukraine but won’t cut it against the big boys.

And please, let’s not consider Belgium a worthy opponent

Erm… “his performance against France”, Marco? Name me one player who did well in that game. Wrong example.

Di Natale’s been earning his left-wing spot all season long, both with Udinese and with the Azzurri. It would be really foolish of Donadoni to drop him now, especially since Friday’s friendly against Belgium put one thing very clearly into the spotlight: the 4-3-3 with Di Natale-Toni-Camoranesi is a well-oiled machine, the 4-3-3 with Del Piero-Toni-Cassano isn’t.

Camoranesi and Di Natale will start if they are available in time vs the Dutch. Guaranteed !

One likely change from the vs Belgium team is the inclusion of De Rossi with the expense of Aquilani.

Look at the only Italian in the midfield… Only 2 Italians and 2 Serie A players on the squad.. None are Gatusso, Ambrosini, Perrotta or Pirlo..

haha Roma bias marco???
I’m a huge Roma fan too, and OMR has been greattt, but I think my Germany ‘06 WC bias is a bit stronger, hence Grosso starting. Both of them will get a TON of playing time though.

And warning, I didnt pay attention to which side they would play, but yeah, Grosso definitely playing on the left. My bad.
