What are the possible line ups?  Formation?  What is your prediction Spain win, Italy win?

Let's get the ball rolling.... have your say now.


We already know that Italy midfielders Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso are out for accumulation of cards.


ITALY (4-3-1-2)  This is the formation Donadoni used for the
 EURO 2008 Match France 0  - 2 Italy 

Goalkeeper: Gigi Buffon

Defenders: Gianluca Zambrotta, Christian Panucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Fabio Grosso

Midfielders: Andrea Pirlo('55 Massimo Ambrosini), Daniele De Rossi, Gennaro Gattuso('82 Alberto Aquilani), Simone Perrotta('64 Mauro Camoranesi)

Forwards: Luca Toni, and Antonio Cassano


Subs:
Amelia, De Sanctis, Gamberini, Barzagli, Del Piero, Di Natale, Borriello, Ambrosini, Quagliarella, and Materazzi.



Here is my possible formation for Italy if Donadoni uses his favorite 4-3-1-2 formation:

            Anna Italia - Possible Italian Formation for
           the EURO 2008 Quarterfinal Spain - Italy 
 
                            Del Piero, Luca Toni

                                    Cassano


                  De Rossi     Ambrossini      Camoranesi


        Grosso           Chiellini       Panucci            Zambrotta


                          Saint Goalkeeper Gigi Buffon


For subs: I will have Simone Perrotta and Alberto Aquilani in the midfield. If going for a 4-4-2, I will have Del Piero and Cassano, leaving Luca Toni as a super sub because in 3 matches he has missed too many goal opportunities. For subs forwards, I will have Antonio Di Natale.


What is your possible formation and why?
