Which of the 4 teams do you think will go the furthest in the CL ? I'm going with Inter who usually choke but this time I think they'll actually do some damage with Motta, Eto, Millito and Sneijder on the team. Although the first match tommorow against Barca is going to be tough. Eto and Ibra vs. their former sides.

AC usually does well in the CL but their team has had a nightmare start in Serie A so I can't see them going very far. Livorno dominated the first half on the weekend when they played .. and if they're having problems with Livorno I can't imagine they'll do much against a top tier team in CL.

Juve has made a big jump in quality since they signed diego and they still have one of the best defenses in Serie A .. not to mention made up 7 of the 11 players fielded against Bulgaria in the WC qualifying.

Fiorentina - i have no confidence in .. unless Mutu gets better.

I think their are some games that really stood out to me .. maybe because italy looked like they were destined to lose since penalties rarely ever worked in our favor but the 2000 Euro Cup kept us at the edge of our seats and this game and even when the Buffon wan't in net for us .. our backup keeper Told didn't do a bad job either. Watch this video and see the horse shoe italy had that game. I remember watching this game at a bar and after Italy won it was pouring rain and everyone ran out onto the streets with italy flags anyways.

Italy vs. Holland

This was the game before Italy lost to France in the final .. when the ref decided to add a ridiculous amount of time to the clock enough for trezeguet to break our hearts. We may have lost to france in that final but we still went the distance.

I think this topic has been all over italian media and while some people think he's a complete nut job other can see him for his talent. IMO, he could potentially be the next Roberto Baggio to the italian national team and could be the trequartista we need up front.
