I mean Lippi started out bad for Italy too when he got the post. Now we have gotten through, won by far the toughest group, and probably will be ranked #1 in the world when the new FIFA rankinhgs come out. There are some questionable personnel decisions, but he earned praise in my book leaving Del Piero off and allowing people to play such as Di Natale and Quagliarella. I think when Totti makes his international comeback, gli azzurri could be primed for a Euro 2008 run. So for right now I'll take it easy on Donadoni.

Lippi is the man n he struggeled to get italy playing well. as we all recall we had a easy path to the semi's which we strugled to get through. australia that late game pk from grosso, ukraine gave us problems as well. both of those game were similar to this scotish game. what matters in the end is the results. his subs are questionable but he holds onto a lead spaletti whos the man, has not been able to manage thatas of late. forza roma ease up on donadoni. we had a hang over after winning the world cup which is to be expected. we still managed to win a very tough group. he doesnt allow the youth to show their talent with can be his undoing in the tournement itself. he needs to incorporate rosella, de rossi and montov. atleast his not playin del piero or inzaghi.

Unfortunately,I would imagine that your source must have made it up as there is no verification available on the web. Here are some quotes by WC that may amuse you: "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." "If you're going through hell, keep going." "We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English." I wonder if the last one could apply to the Highlanders ? Great quote by Churchill, Gabriella.

Time for me to be more constructive. I must say though that I am not that confident about the WC qualification for Scotland. It is going to be difficult and expectations very high. Above all you need to implement strong mentality not to slip up when it really matters. I hope this EC qualification will not overshadow the WC one. I think it is hard to let go for Scotland …

It would be undignified, and pointlessly inaccurate, to blame Juan Carlos Yuste Jimenez for a harrowing finale to an epic adventure with Scotland. One grievously myopic assistant referee is merely complicit in historic providence."
