Italian National Team Trained at Hampden Park at 7 p.m. "Most welcomed player former Ranger Player Gennaro Gattuso"

By Anna Italia

After arriving and having a break, the men of Italian Head Coach Roberto Donadoni went to Hampden Park for their afternoon training session.

Media attention was mostly for former Ranger midfielder and now AC Milan player Gennaro Gattuso and for Captain Fabio Cannavaro.

I am happy with the team's positive attitude.  So, I am sending my positive energy too.  Just like Donadoni says, the moment has come to do what Italy does well, which is to play calcio / football. 

I am also glad that neither DONADONI nor any Italian players are thinking about playing for a draw, which will be enough for Italy.

Good news is the recovery of Captain Fabio Cannavaro.  Massimo Oddo not sure yet about his physical condition. In case of not starting, AS Roma Defener Christian Panucci might take his place.  Wow, it will be awesome for Panucci. 

Scotland fears mainly AC Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo with his precision when sending free kicks and orchestrating the midflied.   Regarding Italy, as highlighted by Donadoni and Cannavaro, Scotland Miller might be the best forward but Italy has LUCA TONI.  That was a good punch, dont' you think?  Luca Toni better shines tomorrow.

The whole point here is to WIN CONVINCINGLY, period. 

The whole country is cheering for Italy and even France Coach Raymond Domenech and his men will be joining the fans to support Italy.   Remember that if Italy wins, France will qualify.  So FORZA ITALIA... France is speaking Italian for a day!!!
