Gigi Buffon=9(Made the save of the day,he never fails to amaze me)
Gianluca Zambrotta=6(Did ok,had couple of good runs,but poor crosses at times)
Christian Panucci=8(Is very good at CD)
Giorgio Chiellini7(proving his worth)
Fabio Grosso=7(He was better in the game against Romania)
Andrea Pirlo=6(not our old sleepy prince Pirlo,he was abducted by aliens and his look alike is playing wearing the #21 shirt)
Ambrosini=5(Was good on the high balls,but not impressed)
Daniele De Rossi=10(what can i say about DDR, he was awarded the man of the match by uefa and that says all)
Gennaro Gattuso=6(not the rino of the world cup 06,but was ok)
Alberto Aquilani=7(would like to see more of him to fully judge him,but did good)
Perrotta=5(still not convinced)
Mauro Camoranesi=7(did fairly well for the time he played)
Luca Toni=3 (I had it with you)
Antonio Cassano=6(I have a feeling that he was instructed to sit back and support Luca;It is worth noting that out of 20 fouls committed against Italy 4 were on Cassano,poor baby, he was hammered)
Coach: Roberto Donadoni=3
I still not convinced with his choices.Why can he never sub Toni???Why is aquilani on the bench?Today we got lucky,but he better be ready for Spain.

Man, i arrived late for the first time to our Coach Meeting. Nina beat me this time as well as my colleagues Ridha and Fotis. Man, even i came late i still beat milan99
Here i come my fellow colleagues with my evaluation:
Gigi Buffon=10 Always on time when Italy needs his and made a great save protecting Italy's victory.
Gianluca Zambrotta=7 I agree with colleague Nina, Zambrotta was better than with Romania but his crosses at times made me cry.
Christian Panucci=8 Only thing missing was his "headmaster goal" Great player and i am glad Donadoni trusts him.
Giorgio Chiellini=8 He is gaining more confidence and i think i can use him in the next match again.
Fabio Grosso=9 Here is a pleasant surprise. Grosso right now is the best defender. I don't know if my colleagues agree with me.
Andrea Pirlo=8 My milan guy has not been at his best but the low score increase when he made the powerful penalty and scoring for Italy.
Ambrosini=6 Still needs to get back in shape. Since Pirlo and Gattuso will be out next match, i will go with the Roma midfield and Ambrosini.
Daniele De Rossi=10 Pure heart, a golden boy. Kudos.
Gennaro Gattuso=7 The lion seems tired and i am glad he will be out next match so he can gain some energy. Though the motivation he transmit to his peers deserves a 10.
Alberto Aquilani=6 not ready yet.
Perrotta=6 still is recovering from injury and not brilliant
Mauro Camoranesi=7
Luca Toni=3 a total disappointment and if my colleagues agree with me, i won't include him in the next match with Spain. I will go for Cassano - del Piero
Antonio Cassano=6 not that impressed but he might be an asset in the match with Spain if Del Piero comes because those two seem to work wonders.

Coach: Roberto Donadoni=6 I give il Mister a break because after all, he got it.
Dear colleagues i expect your feedback.
