    Here is Ventura's Squad:

    GK:
    Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Gianluigi Donnarumma (Milan), Mattia Perin (Genoa);

    D: Davide Astori (Fiorentina), Andrea Barzagli (Juventus), Leonardo Bonucci (Milan), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Danilo D’Ambrosio (Inter), Matteo Darmian (Manchester United), Daniele Rugani (Juventus), Leonardo Spinazzola (Atalanta), Davide Zappacosta (Chelsea);

    M: Daniele De Rossi (Roma), Marco Parolo (Lazio), Lorenzo Pellegrini (Roma), Marco Verratti (Paris Saint Germain), Federico Bernardeschi (Juventus), Antonio Candreva (Inter), Stephan El Shaarawy (Roma), Lorenzo Insigne (Napoli), Simone Verdi (Bologna);

    F: Andrea Belotti (Torino), Eder Citadin Martins (Inter), Manolo Gabbiadini (Southampton), Ciro Immobile (Lazio).

    Dude I hope Ventura finds a solution now. I have not been impressed with us vs Spain and Israel at all. Especially vs Israel, the way we were playing was ridiculous. We should have won that game 3-0 if we had the right approach.

    I really don't know what to say, but we need another formation. Try 4-3-3 or go back to 3-5-2 is my answer.

    I am tempted to try this possibly:

    -Insigne-Belotti-Bernardeschi-
    -Pellegrini-De Rossi-Verratti-
    -Spinazzola-Chiellini-Bonucci-Zappacosta-
    -Buffon-​


    Its good to see Zappacosta back! One player I heavily miss is Marchisio. He has been so unlucky with injuries during international breaks. I really hope he can come to the world cup. Marchisio is arguably one of our best midfielders.

    would be nice to see Pellegrini get some playing time. he's developed into a solid midfielder so far and Zappacosta better start as well

    he should have called up any of Benassi, Bonaventura, Balotelli, Mandragora, Sansone, Chiesa, Berardi, Politano, Zaza, Florenzi in my opinion

    Chiesa...all your life!!
    In second round .. Zaza deserves another chance (given the great moment of form)

    Not Bonaventura, Balotelli, or Sansone, but I agree with the rest. Mandragora is still young though as well.

    Bonaventura is still rediscovering his form after an injury. he's a tricky midfielder

    I love the new badge. was never really a fan of the one they had for 10 years since Italy won the world cup in 2006. the new long sleeve jerseys look great and the short sleeve ones are alright. wondering what the font and numbers will look like

    I like the new kit, it highlights the stars and the previous one kinda hid them. You want to make something like 4 world cup wins as noticeable as possible.

    We are in trouble. Verratti, Pellegrini, and Marchisio all out. What do we do? De Rossi, Parolo, and someone else I guess?

    Bryan Christante.

    Get the young guy capped for Italy. He's looking great for Atalanta in the Serie A and EL.
