The last 24 hours have been particularly hectic for the 16 coaches heading to Euro 2012. They have
been busy finalising their squads for the summer football festival and after having done so six
Milan players have made the grade. As Sweden's captain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is Milan's biggest name.
He will wear the number ‘10' [.
National team coach Cesare Prandelli has made the Azzurri's roster official, and communicated
his list to UEFA.
Compared his previous version, the manager has left out Andrea Ranocchia and
Mattia Destro. Doubts remain on the eligibility of Leonardo Bonucci, currently
under investigation in the massive betting scandal surrounding Italian soccer this week.

Cesare Prandelli trimmed down his squad list from 32 to 25 players for the friendly against

goalkeeper Viviano, defenders Astori, Bocchetti,
Criscito, and midfielders Cigarini, Schelotto,
Verratti.

Antonio Cassano is a lefty? Righty-ho then! Saturday - Words, words, words...Gerard Pique and
Shakira kissed...words, words, words...was it better or worse than seeing Iker and Sarah's kiss? -

AC Milan head into the off season wondering what could have been as they bowed out of the Champions
League at the quarterfinal stage against Barcelona and finished second in Serie A behind Juventus
by only four points. There is, of course, no shame in being knocked out of Europe by one of the
best teams in the world or losing out on the league title to only the third undefeated side in
league.

Antonio Cassano spent the bulk of his AC Milan season "high-fiving" players
during training sessions, dancing TO "Ai Seu Te Pego" with Robinho, cracking jokes
at everyone's expense all the while recovering from his heart operation. So of course
(naturalmente), his call-up to Prandelli's Azzurri squad was highly
unexpected and had more to do with his bubbly personality than his goal average.
As I mentioned before, I am not entirely convinced at the Azzurri's chances of success at Euro
2012. The squad has not enthused me during their qualifying campaign and although they retrieved
Antonio Cassano from injury, the absence of Giuseppe Rossi coupled with the unpredictability of
Mario Balotelli and still relative inexperience of Sebastian Giovinco makes me doubt the
goalscoring efficiency of Italy's strikeforce.

Lista definitiva de ItaliaPorteros: Marco Amelia (Livorno), Gianluigi Buffon

Defensas: Andrea Barzagli (Palermo), Fabio Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Giorgio
Chiellini (Juventus), Fabio Grosso (Olympique Lyonnais), Marco Materazzi (Inter de Milán),
Christian Panucci (AS Roma), Gianluca Zambrotta (FC Barcelona).
Milan's quest to repeat as champions of Serie A fell short due to a number of reasons, in
particular the injuries which affected the squad and the demands of European football which drained
the players.
The Rossoneri must address the following key concerns in order to be successful next season in
Italy and Europe:
a) Ibrahimovic Factor: Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been in fine form since his move from Barcelona
prior to the beginning of last season.
Juventus will finish on top of the league table regardless of the result of Week 38. The
Bianconeri defeated Cagliari 2-0 while Milan lost 2-4 to Inter to confirm Juve as this season's
champions. Below is a list of the most important factors behind Juve's triumph:
a) Andrea Pirlo: The Italy midfielder has been perhaps Juve's most influential
player this season.
"The real regret for this year, as I said it to [Silvio] Berlusconi on the phone, is about Gattuso
and Cassano....with the two of them we would have gained some more points," were the words of
Adriano Galliani today 24 hours after Milan's four-goal rout of Siena. While it is not so easy to

Juventus remain on course to win their first Scudetto in 9 years after they beat Novara 4-0
yesterday to remain 3 points clear of their nearest challengers AC Milan with 3 matches left to
play.
A brace from in form striker Mirko Vucinic and strikes from Marco Boriello and Arturo Vidal were
enough to see off a weak Novara side that failed to provide any real threat.
He's back!
Antonio Cassano, the crazy Italian genius - The forward has completed a
remarkable recovery and return to football following crucial heart surgery. After a 6 month absence
Cassano appeared on the fields earlier this month, today he started and scored for AC Milan once
more.

Antonio Cassano returned to Milan's starting XI after suffering a stroke and undergoing heart
surgery in November and uncertainty as to whether he would ever play again. And not only did
Cassano score the first goal in Milan's 4-0 win over Siena and set up two others, but he also gave
Zlatan Ibrahimovic a friendly kick in the backside.
Saturday 28th April Roma v Napoli The game of the weekend is between two teams of contrasting
fortunes. Roma have lost their last two games, a heavy 4-0 loss to Juventus in Turin and a 2-1 home
reverse to Fiorentina. Napoli on the other hand, have beaten strugglers Lecce and Novara to move up
to fourth.
There was some idiotic scenes in the Genoa, as the home side -losing to Siena at the time -were
demanded to take of their jerseys by their own ultras. The reasoning; according to this small
minority of fans the players were not fit enough to wear the club's colours. Marco Rossi, Genoa's
captain, ceded to their demands and went about collecting jerseys from his team-mates.
For anyone not familiar with the company called Panini, they don't make sandwiches, they make
football trading cards and stickers. Recently, they've released their 20 player Euro 2012 set,
effectively "calling up" 20 Italian players, even if Prandelli will actually call up 23. Glaring
omissions included Antonio Cassano and Giuseppe Rossi, since it was a race against time for them to
achieve match fitness.
5 reasons why football needs Antonio Cassano is a post from: Just Football
Football has had some difficult and distressing issues to deal with recently, from Villa Park to
Somalia to White Hart Lane, but there was at least some encouraging news this week after it emerged
that AC Milan striker and everyone's favourite croissant eater Antonio
Cassano has been given the all-clear to resume playing football.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter may not be delivering on some of his promises, but a cleaner FIFA
could be in store in the near future.
A FIFA anti-corruption adviser said the process to clean FIFA up is on track despite Blatter
announcing last week that a limited number of reforms were approved by his executive committee.
Another player for a major European club is in a battle with a serious illness.
Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov was diagnosed with acute leukemia, the club announced on
Friday. According to an Aston Villa statement, Petrov had developed a fever after last week's match
against Arsenal, and the disease was discovered in his ensuing blood tests.

That is the date that Antonio Cassano's doctor has given as the date of return. It's less than
two weeks away.

COUNTDOWN TO MLS 2012 - SEASON 17STARTERSYesterday was big for US Soccer even if it doesn't really count - USA wins in Italy and USA Olympic
team stuffs Mexico U23s. Missions accomplished.
-And like any good USA fan the cherry on top was Mexico losing to Colombia too!
Juergen Klinsmann has arrived. He was on a winning steak before the Italy match but the caveat
was that it was not against quality opposition. This was to Italy, four times World Cup champions,
a team that the USA had not won against in 11 outings, on the road, with a rejiggered team missing
four of their starters through injuries and illness.
The pressure is on Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas in the UEFA Champions League, not only for
him to try and salvage his own job security, but also to keep England's hopes at crowning a
European winner alive.
It appears that he'll be a bit shorthanded in the first stage of his quest to get the Blues to
the UCL quarterfinals, though.
It could not have been any better. It could not have been any sweeter. Four unanswered goals from
Milan against Arsenal ensured the Italians have at least one foot in the quarter finals. For coach
Max Allegri, it was his most significant moment in the Champions League of his short managerial
career. But, Allegri was not the star of the night.
Health scares, multi-million pound on-off deals and the toppling of a prime minister. It has the
makings of a political thriller that any dramatist would be proud off. Instead, it has been the
script of Massimiliano Allegri's awkward second season in charge of Milan. It is easy to forget
just how rocky the waters have been in the background to his attempts to build on the foundations
of a debut.

The U.S. men's national team's friendly against Italy is a little more than two weeks away, and
it is the first chance that manager Jurgen Klinsmann has to have his "A" team assembled together in
the new year.
With only a few friendlies remaining before World Cup qualifying begins in June, Klinsmann will
look to the Feb.
