2021 Nations League "Finals". Semis: Italia v. Spagna (Ott. 6) Belgio v. Francia (Ott. 7) Finals & 3rd Place game (Ott. 10) Portieri: Donnarumma Sirigu Meret Difensori: Chiellini Bonucci Calabria Emerson Di Lorenzo Di Marco Bastoni Acerbi Centrocampisti: Verratti Jorginho Barella Locatelli Pellegrini Cristante Attaccanti: Insigne Chiesa Berardi Kean Raspadori Bernardeschi Would be nice to win.. but IMO better yet i see the opportunity to get Raspadori / Kean a run out at the #9 with the rest of the full squad to see if we can get a #9 to catch fire in time for the WC next year. Pellegrini arguably has been the best player in Serie A so far this year.. will be interesting to see if he gets a crack at some time vs Spain. Another name that intrigues me is Di Marco. With Spinazzola out for another few months... i'd like to see him get more playing time at LB. He's got pace.. he can cross.. and best of all would give us a good option for a left footed set piece taker (aside from Berardi / Berna).
Putting the ball in the net was always Pellegrini’s biggest issue. He always did a lot of other things really well. Guy is just punking people this year and making all of us on the Roma forum look like idiots. Good for him. I can’t imagine him not getting some time in both these fixtures.

Likely starting line-up is being given as Donna-Di Lorenzo-Bonucci-Chiellini-Emerson-Barella-Jorginho-Verrati-Chiesa-Kean-Insigne. I don't trust Emerson. I'm hoping for Di Marco subbing him out. Raspadori and Pellegrini also on the bench.
We need to maintain our FIFA ranking or else we'll have a rough road in the future if we're not seeded
