Calcio Debate - Italy's All-Time Best XI

[Juventino]

I'm trying to think of who would be in my XI, but it is hard to leave so many great players out.

[Hawkesy]

By the way il duce (can't believe i am saying this but it is Italy ) i agree with we could make 3 or 4 XI teams and still kick most countries arses!

When I'm sober, I'll argue this one.

[adriano10]

you better have a good argument....tough one here

[drowner]

Formation: 5-3-2:

Zoff (c)

Scirea

Gentile Baresi Maldini Facchetti

Mazzola Pirlo Conti

Baggio Riva

Bumpity bump ragazzi.

Personally, I would go for this:

------------------ZOFF

Maldini------Baresi---Scirea-----Facchetti

----------Rivera-------Tardelli

Conti-------Mazzola----Baggio------

---------------Riva


And before you ask:

1. Yes, I do think that Maldini can play on the right.
2. No, I don't think 4 playmakers is too many. In fact, I was going to play an extra one and leave out Tardelli.

Totti is the prince of modern day Italian Football... over there, they go nuts over him... yet the rest of the football world has commonly been bemused with this theory about Francesco.... Why?

because he is a f**king tosser maybe? Or maybe its just the Riommanisti over there that wank over pics of Tottina.

He has immense talent, but never reached his potential wearing a blue shirt (we all know if a team isn't wearing blue it isn't worth un cazzo).

it is pretty much that simple, the fact that he's never been as clinical in blue as he is for roma means he isn't recognised globally as the god he is in italy
