You're not really mister current affairs when it comes to the azzurri. Vieri, Del Piero, Inzaghi and Cassano are not givens to make Italy's 23 man squad. Lippi will go to the World Cup with a fresh young striking pair of Luca Toni and Alberto Gilardino. Toni is runaway leading scorer in Seria A and both men have shown the ability to hit the back of the net for the national team.
Given Totti is a certainty if Italy name 5 - 6 forwards one or two of mentioned players will miss out.

yeah, I realized this. I don't really follow Italy that much, and I forgot about Luca Toni, and I didn't realize that Gilardino was tearing it up real bit
actually, one name that everyone should remember as I think that he is gonna flat out explode is Argentina's Lionel Messi. I saw him at teh U-20s WC last year, and he was playing at a sickingly higher level then anyone else on the field. He has also been tearing it up for Barca this year
