they don't just pick up crappy goalies and hope to make him into a better player, they don't have the time to do that.
Have you not heard of Massimo Taibi?

Julio Cesar has certainly been impressive for Brazil. I can't say much about his Inter performances though since I rarely watch them play (Serie A is a snooze-fest :p)
He has done well for Inter but not enough to put him above the likes of Buffon or even Frey.
Robinho --> Entire Italy defence + Buffon ;) .. If he only had better reflxes ;)

None of those starting 'defenders' would be in my Italian XI. Same applies to Pirlo.

It's funny that Robinho was so quick Pirlo didn't even have the speed to foul him.

I'd have done it. Rather than have myself made a clown of by a player like Robinho.

He's done well for Inter, yes. But I know a few Inter fans who haven't been that happy with him this year. He's let in far too many soft goals, the one against Torino a couple of weeks ago comes to mind.
Out of curiosity who would be in your Italian XI?

You rationalizing; Pirlo let Robinho steal the ball and making look like a fool and that he wanted to he could literally tear him apart.
- Meanwhile back in reality.. Robinho stole the ball from Pirlo and thus making him look like a fool, foiled Pirlo attempts to recover the ball by dribbling past him, skinned 3 other Italian players and scored a goal past helpless Buffon.

It didn't even look like Pirlo was genuinely going for the ball either.

By any reckoning Pirlo was at fault for that goal. Not his best moment. Robinho did well though.

And whoever watches Serie A regularly knows that Inter owes A LOT of points to Julio Cesar's miraculous saves. Last season he was by far the most impressive goalkeeper in the world, and the main reason why Inter was able to to win the scudetto race, even ahead of Ibra and Maicon. That doesn't mean he is the best though, I still rate Buffon and Casillas ahead of him, and Frey pretty close to him. Then there's Reina, and then Cech and VDS.

Well not me. I said he was good before Man Utd. because otherwise Man Utd. would never have picked him up. They are the best team in England, they don't just pick up crappy goalies and hope to make him into a better player, they don't have the time to do that.
Obviously he didn't "suck" before joining Man Utd. Just the opposite. VDS was probably better when this poll was started than he is right now.
But Duck has a point: VDS probably wasn't included in the poll simply because he didn't play for Man Utd (or more precisely, didn't play for a big club).**
** EDIT: I see that he was a month into his Man Utd career when this poll began, nevertheless he was probably still thought of as a Fulham player at that point and, thus, not considered for that reason.

.Zambrotta has turned into a completely average player since he left Juventus. Three years ago he would've taken care of that shit easily.

Lol, I actually didn't know who he was but I wiki'd him and it said he only made 4 appearances for Man U. It also said in the first paragraph that he is most well known for his disastrous spell at Man Utd. lol

Before Rossi stepped on the pitch, I thought Zambrotta was the best player for Italy...
