No one really played badly. The game was decided on a bad clearance by Canna, and even with that it took a perfect volley from Villa to beat Buffon.

I was kind of surprised to see the De Rossi, Pirlo, Perrotta midfield. If I'm not mistaken the last time that happened was the first game of the World Cup against Ghana. I would've liked to see Ambrosini, or even an out of form Gattuso instead of Perrotta.

I thought today cemented the fact that it should be Di Natale and Camo behind Toni. Di Natale's pace and Camo's skill are great complements to Toni and I thought they both played well, especially Camo.

Donadoni called up 21 players for this friendly. If you add a keeper, Chiellini on defense, and replace Iaquinta with Del Piero (or maybe leave Iaquinta and take out Borriello), those would be my guess at the 23 going to Euros.

I think Boriello is a must.He was doing great out there.Showed a bit of flare and great touches.Big body in the box.Marchena was having fits with him on the field.The team didnt click.Im not taking this match seriously and I know Italy will step it up when they have to but this doesnt bode well.
