no Cassano? what a shock! (tongue firmly planted in cheek)

yeah
why since the NT coach doesnt actually "coach" the team, but simply select it , as it's known, don't they make a sort of poll to name the players?
or better, since ppl could make stupid choices that dont take care of the skill and the form of the players at the moment, it could be that the coach calls most of the team , like 80% , and the rest of the players, like 2 or 3 ...or even only one, is chosen by ppl......hell it would be *#*#*#*#ing cool....

Boss Giovanni Trapattoni has insisted that Antonio Cassano was always destined to feature in the national side.

The Roma youngster was included in the squad for the first time on Sunday for this week’s friendly test in Poland.
