barzagli is a "good" defender, but not italy starter quality. he's no more than a back-up. he needs his hand held by better defenders like a younger canna or chiellini to truly be able to compete at a top level.

Kinda sad that Pellisier gets a call up to the Ireland friendly while this season's scoring leader (Di Vaio), who has been leading in scoring for most hte year might I add, doesn't even get any notice.
I've retained that Iaquinta has been a great player all along. Anyone who doesn't think so doesn't know the game! I've said all he needed was a chance to start consistently and he would shine.
From Sunday: Iaquinta 2 goals Quags 1 goal Pazzini 1 Goal Totti 1 (Pk) Goal and The Stud of the Azzurri Pepe 1 Goal and Toni turned 32 on May 26...............
I always thought he wouldnt make to the starting 11,but i changed my mind...he runs tiredlessly up and down the pitch,and he scores goals,the more i see him the more i like him...
