I don't fully agree with this squad.
IMO:
Rui Patrício -> Eduardo;
Jorge Ribeiro -> Caneira;
Miguel Veloso -> Manuel Fernandes
Joao Moutinho -> Maniche
Postiga -> Yannick Djalo

Updated the squads, except Greece because I'm racist (they haven't announced yet )

Looking just at the amount of individual talent, the french team is absolutely amazing, and they still have to leave 7 of them out.

And that's after cutting Clichy, and especially Sagna, who had a great first season at Arsenal.

And Trezeguet!

Here is Italy's 23 man provisional selection:

Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Marco Amelia (Livorno), Morgan De Sanctis (Sevilla)

Defenders: Fabio Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Marco Materazzi (Inter Milan), Christian Panucci (AS Roma), Andrea Barzagli (Palermo), Gianluca Zambrotta (Barcelona), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Fabio Grosso (Lyon)

Midfielders: Andrea Pirlo (AC Milan), Gennaro Gattuso (AC Milan), Massimo Ambrosini (AC Milan), Daniele De Rossi (AS Roma), Simone Perrotta (AS Roma), Alberto Aquilani (AS Roma), Mauro Camoranesi (Juventus), Riccardo Montolivo (Fiorentina)

Forwards: Luca Toni (Bayern Munich), Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus), Antonio Di Natale (Udinese), Marco Borriello (Genoa), Fabio Quagliarella (Udinese), Antonio Cassano (Sampdoria, on loan from Real Madrid)

Defence looks solid, only doubts for the midfiel is why he picked Camoranesi whose been a ghost all year. And I very much like that he picked Cassano although he is a nutter.

Cassano is in some outstanding form, his inclusion goes to show that donadoni isn't perhaps as scared to make the big decisions as I gave him credit for. As long as he can be kept from going crazy like he has a habit of doing then I think he'll be a very important player for italy.

I think the youngsters in midfield, aquilani and montilivio could have a big role to play as well. I think they are both excellent prospects and di natale should start up front with luca toni imo.

Not sure why he has included ambrosini, not a player I rate at all. same goes for chiellini.
