I don't have complicated relationships with any players." The words of Marcello Lippi. As the 2010
World Cup is quickly approaching Marcello Lippi will need to finalize his squad. Will it be
flamboyant Cassano or the Rookie Balotelli? Maybe neither. Do Nesta and Totti come out of
retirement to help the Azzurri to .
The new Italy home shirt for the 2010 World Cup hasn't officially been unveiled yet, but the
above photograph shows a close-up of how the modern Puma shirt looks.
The new Italy soccer jersey is blue with red, white and green accent colors. The Azzurri shirt
features a unique and trendy collar design with two different v-necks cut into the collar of the
shirt.
Last post, we discussed strikers on the Azzurri. The general consensus seemed to be that
Borriello might deserve a shot if he can stay fit, though Quags is probably too inconsistent to do
us any good. I think we can all agree that both are having a great season, and if they keep up
their respective forms it'll be hard to ignore them.
With the decade wrapping up, I thought it'd be a good idea to review every season of the decade
thus far, starting with the 1999-2000. The review will highlight Serie A of course, but also
Italian teams in European competition, and National team stories from that season. So we begin with
the 1999-2000 season, the dawn of the new millennium.
Simple post for today, just to keep everyone entertained and to get some discussion going. If
you were Lippi- that is, the coach of the Azzurri- which player would you never call up?
Continuing the Decade in Review, we now move on to the 2000/2001 season, another highly
interesting and exciting season. For the first time in ages, the Scudetto was won back to back by
teams not named Juventus, Inter, or Milan and for the first time in Italian calcio history the
Scudetto stayed in Rome for 2 consecutive seasons.
There were rumors this week that Sampdoria striker Antonio Cassano and manager
Gigi Delneri had been involved in a training ground bust-up with shouting and
Cassano had even threatened to never play again all season. Of course these were all unconfirmed
rumors so we don't really know what went on.
Juventus suffered another defeat which perhaps came as no surprise despite the fact Roma were
rather not impressive until the penalty-kick which was converted by Francesco Totti. The Bianconeri
did not deserve to lose the match but the players have certainly been struggling despite putting in
a better effort against the Giallorossi.
On May 5th, 2002, most Inter fans were doing the same exact thing Ronaldo is doing in the
picture. Inter had thought that they had finally gotten it right. They would finally win their
first Scudetto since 1989. But it wasn't to be, and May 5th, 2002 is a day Inter fans do not like
to remember.
