first off, even though i know lippi will not get rid of him, get rid of christian zaccardo, che non vale un c***o come difensore esterno......those who speak italian know what that means. anyway, here is the starting 11 against ghana on 12 june 2006: \n\n                        Buffon\n\nzambrotta         nesta            cannavaro          grosso\n\n                         Pirlo\ngattuso                                 De Rossi\n\n\n                         Totti\n\n          Toni                           Gilardino\n\n\nand you have to include inzaghi and simone perrotta on the squad because of the marvelous years they are having

yes..i'm also an italy fan since young..but too bad, Materazzi will miss the next match.but no worries,coz italy's defence still have nesta and cannavaro..and they have the world's most expensive keeper,buffon around..but what i'm worried is that will they win it big or win it dirty??

Italy only need 1 point from their final game with Czech Republic. Italian sides are notoriously diffiuclt to break down and with the knowledge a point will be enough will defend resolutely.\n\nYes they will go through but if they dont win the group, they could well face Brazil in the next round !!

They will make it to the semifinals, and here is why.  Italy has both Totti and Vieri coming off injury, they will not be in playing shape yet.  The Czech Republic relies too much on Nedved, who is not playing well right now.  He is also a headcase who will do something to hurt his team at some point.  The US wins the group, and Italy finishes second.  Then the US will beat Ukraine because the US is simply better, and then eliminate an overrated French side in the quarterfinals.  Netherlands will beat the US in the semis.

Rogério Ceni is excellent, and he will be there -- as a substitute. Let's hope he'll get to play -- he is one of the most entertaining players around.

Italy without a doubt. They thrashed Ukraine easily. Their defence just wont let a ball go into their box so germany will have to rely on podolski. Podolski's kicks as good as they are might just penatrate the dense penalty area but Buffon (most expensive goalie) would stop them. Also the Italians would be sure to block off Klose from any headers. Germany can't score without those to key players. Italy was able to muster 3 goals on Ukraine all using different techniques. One was a far shot and the other was a cross and a third one was a set piece(corner). Germany just dont have the defensive strength to stop the Italians ( 4-1 loss in March)

Australia to beat Italy, then who knows.\nI think they are playing so well, their defence against Brazil was outstanding.

Choices based on performances in this World Cup.\n\n\nGK - Buffon - The best keeper in the world by far and others are too erratic\n\nRB - Miguel - He's impressed me with his runs and defending\n\nCB - Lucas Neill - Played out of his skin, but shown composure and talent.\n\nCB - Fabio Cannavaro - Awesome so far.\n\nLB - Ashley Cole - played well apart form first game.\n\nRM - Ze Roberto - Probably been the best Brazillian\n\nCM - Appiah - Shown what an underrated player he is\n\nCM - Riquelme - Barca are stupid to seal him to Villareal.\n\nLM - Robben - Dangerous, pacy, match winner.\n\nF - Klose - Topscorer so far, cant go past that.\n\nF - Crespo - World class.
