I read in his Wikipedia page that he'll play for the NT only if he's first choice. I understand it when Buffon was in his prime, but now you don't have to be Einstein to see that he's past his best. Injuries play a big part in form.

I'm still with the idea about building experience for youngsters, but what Prandeli said is too much...

Gamberini is 29, pretty young the lad according to Prandelli.

Young GK and experienced CBs is a nice combination for friendly. However, I think this could be the last call for Gamberini, the worst on the field.
I get your point Aficio, I just don't get Prandelli's point. The only good thing he did with Italy was revitalizing the attack.

Well, Lavezzi scores in the 5th minute, that looks promising...

I like Italy's lineup a lot but the fact that Abate is not the RB is highly annoying. What does he need to do to take the spot from Maggio???
Zaccheroni's Japan won S.Korea 3:0
His 3-4-4 works in Asia, but could it works in next WC?
