I think this is perhaps the best team we can bring to the World Cup. I don't know why Ambrosini is ignored so often I consider him a very good player (and I am not a Milan fan) I like Inter in fact. However, with him in the midfield it may become too defensive so Fiore is another option or Doni on the left wing.
The exclusion of Delvecchio is known for many reasons. I simply think that Montella can even do a better job in the air (2 headers againt Chievo). Many may question my inclusion of Baggio after his long injury, but frankly I think he is th best bench option if we need a goal and he is healthy (which i'm sure he will be by WC time). Del Piero or Montella beside Vieri is an attack couple that many cannot match and the replacements of inzaghi/Baggio/Del Piero or Montella can all get the job done, ia m sorry that i haev to exclude DiVaio as I think he is a great player, but he is still young and there will be Euro 2004 where I'm sure he will probably get a place.
The trio of defenders is probably the best in the world and should we need to at any point (to hold lead?) insert Materazzi for a forward or Totti.
I also think our goalies are interchangable as well, two of the best in the world.
PlZ comment on any changes/criticisms of my picks or formation, I respect evryones input, or post your own lineups.
