Lippi makes call-ups and he’s still perplexing Italians everywhere.
Usually we get the call-ups on Sunday afternoons, but with the Italy game being Tuesday we get Marcello Lippi's call-ups a day early. Lippi has gotten criticism from the press for his call-ups since he took over, most notably for the exclusions of Alessandro Del Piero and Antonio Cassano. Lippi said that this game would be no place to experiment and new faces should not be expected, and he was right on point.
