Milan99 let's hope all players will be fit enough. Did you notice the midfield section? Almost all Milan players: Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini.
No Inter, no Fiorentina... no Lazio...
Donadoni called Quagliarella but no Pazzini... Good to see Panucci back on the list. Zaccardo from Palermo did not make it this time...

Yes Anna, and all this means Donadoni still ain't sure what players to call and what formation to use, I hope this won't be a big problem, even though a coach that ain't sure of his squad is a really bad thing

The nov17 fixture is pardon the expression 'do or die' for ITaly. I might see it live. Glad Luca Toni is match fit- I remember he couldn't play in the last 2 matches. Can't believe how quickly he adapted, I mean he's getting the job done- scoring goals especially in the Champions LEague against Belenenses.

Hey Ricardo, I'm glad too, Tony is a great footballer, but tell me what you think of the call ups???

Can't say much about Italy because I'm worried about France and Das Quinas qualifying.

So you are a France fan??? All respect I like France too specially when they had the best player of all Zinedine Zidane

Milan99 I am not sure about what formation Donadoni might use. He might go with the 4-4-2 using two forwards: Luca Toni and Di Natale. Gilardino can be another option with Toni.
If Donadoni opts for 1 forward, then, I will pick Luca Toni.
Ricardo15 All the best for your Portugal team. I agree with you. It is either DO OR DIE for Italy. Luca Toni adopted fast in Bayern Munich, unlike many foreign players who take longer to adapt, especially forwards.

Yes Anna, I agree with you and yes if only one striker it should be Toni. I say it'll be 2-0 win for Italy with Goals of Toni and Di Natale, what you think??? and yes I'd love to see goals like Quagliarella
