    should be a great game. i'm expecting to see a mainly experimental squad though.

    I really want to see Santon fulfill his potential one of these days. He could be incredibly useful in 2014 if he is in form.

    im a juve man and i think gio needs to step it up big time. He is always a step away from being a great player. And Peluso doesnt deserve the national team, he sucks. Santon needs to be a starter on the left.

    looks like prandelli is going strong for this one. I guess he's trying to prepare for WCQ and confed cup in the next few months

    I remember his first senior match and thinking he was going to be a pillar on the national team. Talented, versatile, big, etc...

    Try thefirstrow.eu but hard to tell when game time comes, it's hit/miss.

    That lineup has huge potential if Santon and Abate can give the team width. Balotelli and SES would have space to destroy. I'm a little worried about the defense and coverage in the midfield. DeRossi will have to do a lot of hard work.

    I personally would love to see Candreva get more of a shot. He's been stellar at Lazio and he's younger and more consistent than Diamanti.

    I would love to see Insigne on the team. Napoli strangely only play him like 30 min a game but he's always making things happen and scoring when he is on the pitch. Can't believe they start that stiff Pandev but it must be some tactical BS.

    I really like the way this young Italy team is starting to look.

    Even with Chiellni and Marchisio out still a strong squad!
