    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.
