England vs USA will probably be more interesting than any match in this group! that's how bad it is.

The Algerians will probably have some controversial moments as well.

Thats how boring Engly's group is, if that is the top game.

Its really amusing that English posters are calling other groups boring

England vs USA is a great rivalry though because of the history.

USA vs Algeria might also have a bit of spice to it.

Italy's group is simply SHITE though.

This is a SHIT group, it has to be said.

@
Tweeds trying to big up Engly's group as if it is something exciting.

Both Italy's and Engly's groups are shite and dull.

Indeed. USA v Algeria is bound to have spice to it because its Arabs vs Americans!

England are more exciting than Italy though, we got a fullback who scores Robbenesque goals and a striker who handles the ball in from 1 yard. Italy's only interesting thing will be Gattuso making faces on the bench (or pitch?).

O ngá iwi mátou rá;

Me aroha noa;

Terrible group.

Azzurri shortlist:

Goalkeepers: Buffon, Marchetti, De Sanctis, Sirigu

Defenders: Bocchetti, Bonucci, Cannavaro, Cassani, Chiellini, Criscito, Maggio, Zambrotta

Midfielders: Camoranesi, Cossu, Gattuso, De Rossi, Montolivo, Pepe, Palombo, Pirlo, Marchisio

Forwards: Borriello, Di Natale, Gilardino, Pazzini, Iaquinta, Quagliarella, Rossi

Which 5 will Lippi cut??

My guess is the ones in blue will be cut:
1. Sirigu
2. Cassani / Maggio
3. Cossu / Montolivo
4. Rossi / Quagliarella
5. Pazzini / Borriello

Apparantly he is considering cutting Camoranesi

Is Pepe likely to start or be used as a super sub?

super sub, but he's not very "super".

SuperPepe

Lippi likes to use most of his squad during the championship - to rotate and change tactics... so Pepe might start a few...

Cutting Rossi

For someone who can cut Totti Cassano & Miccoli , Rossi is just

Totti was retired and Cassano is a trouble maker. Miccoli isnt in Rossi's league of class. If he cuts Rossi i'll cut my balls off. No coach would be that stupid.
