But yes, he's not WC2006 level yet, but he will be. He still made a save that made me shit my pants, I wouldn't have anyone else there. Man, I love Rino... but this is the first game for the Azzurri since he's been back from injury that I was begrudgingly hoped to see him subbed or not in the 1st team lineup. The only way I agree w/ you saying that DDR had an average game is if you mean that he played on average like he usually plays-- solid and dependable. Oh hell, I was mad to see Monty getting a call up. I've changed my mind. I hope this isn't a fluke. I spent much of yesterday defending, arguing and getting pissed off. All b/c of Beppe. And it was worth it. Even if he didn't score like a dynamo. So glad he got the call up and really hope to see him in Serie A next season. Next Egypt and another gallon of antacid. Yay.

Legro is a good understudy. Gamberini needs more experience and his marking is really not great. don’t get me wrong, i like Chiellini, but i feel more comfortable with him paired alongside Cannavaro.

Chiellini can be a bit reckless when you see how many red and yellows he picks up (per-game; that is, Cannavaro averages a bit over 50 games a year while Chiellini is a bit under 30, so factor that in and you will see Cannavaro has a pretty good record ... excepting 2006 when he was a little off the charts) ---------Iaquinta------------Rossi----------- Foggia---------------------------Quagliarella ------------------Pirlo---------------------- -----------------De Rossi-------------------- Grosso-----Chiellini------Cannavaro-----Motta -------------------Gigi---------------------- would like to have Rossi in the centre, but he and Iaquinta could drop back and move up alternately.
