Italy Euro 2008 Live Online

The Current World Cup Champions Italy rank up as the favourites to lift up the Euro 2008 championship to be held in Austria and Switzerland and with a side full of confidence and class, it is not hard to understand why they have been bestowed that tag. The Current Italy national soccer team ranks up among the very best in World football and Coach Donadoni will be full of confidence going into the current Euro championships.

Italy are filled with class from top to bottom with goalkeeper Gianlugi Buffon right up there with the very best goalkeepers around in World football. A star-studded defence will be there to protect him with the likes of Cannavaro and Nesta guarding a brilliant back four. The midfield is no mug either with players of undisputed calibre like AC Milan’s Gennaro Gattuso unable to secure a place in a line-up consisting of Pirlo, De Rossi and Cameronesi. Coach Donadoni has been under the fire for his decision not to select veteran Italian soccer striker Alessandero Del Piero but with a line up rich in class strikers such as Iaquinta, Luca Toni and Alberto Gilardino he can scarcely be blamed for this decision. The current national set-up is strikingly similar to the Italian World Cup outfit of 2006 and their ability to strike under pressure makes them a very potent bunch indeed. While the Italy soccer critics have attacked the team for complacency in their recent matches, it does remain an undeniable fact that Italy perform at their very best when subjected to pressure and that was further proved when they emerged top from a tough qualification group consisting of France and Scotland.

The Italian national soccer team has been unable to match up their World Cup Success in European level with some rather mediocre performances of late. However, with new fresh blood in the line up coupled with a coach Donadoni not short of ideas, UEFA Euro 2008 might just prove to be the turning point for the Azzuri.
