World Cup just around the corner......

Everyone who loves football must be waiting for the World Cup 2006 which will begin early on next month. People from over the world now focus to host Germany to start the kick off on June of 9th between Germany and Costa Rica. Anyone will support their own team include me. My favourite team is Italy and hopefully they will challenge for the title this time. After lost to the France in the Final of Euro 2000, this team didn't perform well in big tournament including World Cup 2002 in Korea & Japan and Euro 2004 in Portugal. With the big name players like Alessandro Del Piero, Totti, Buffon and Nesta, they still cannot achive what they should get. Here, I put all the name list for the Italy squad:
