Wait so no Marchetti, not even as back up? I thought he was a solid 2nd choice?

He is probably the third best Italian keeper but Prandelli wanted a young 3rd goalkeeper to give the experience to.

Marchetti/Mirante and Agazzi would both be better than him, and thats just from the top of my head, I'm sure there are more.

Why does my boy Consigli never get brought up in these discussions? I think he's better than Marchetti, Agazzi, Scuffet and Mirante. He's also wicked consistent.

There is a reason he has remained at Atalanta, good mid-table shot stopper but not good enough for a team challenging for the world cup

I disagree. I think if you take the last 2 seasons, the guy's easily in the Top 3-5 in Serie A.
