About Italian team decision, some exit polls even if votation are not concluded...
The proposal of Blocked/Pure Captain is getting many votes, so we can forecast that the Captain will have the responsibility of deciding the team, only the base of players is under discussion:
Can he select the 8 among all Italian players or only among a selection of players coming from the FIBB ranking?

(to be continued...)

@Norse
I really donÂ´t know.
I have PMÂ´d him twice here on TBB, but have never gotten an answer.
ItÂ´s a long time ago though, maybe around a year...

And the final answer is:

Pure Captain Selection, so Farina will choose a pool of players by himself and train them personally in a special training camp, where he will decide the marvellous 8 that will defend the title...

Just to let you know the end of a long story...

Italian Training camp?

Just seen a tv report about Zidanes life. When he was playing in italy he was almost all the time destroyed from the harsh training conditions.

I hope Farina will at least stop that flogging.

It's a matter of physical and psychological stamina... foreign players don't have enough of them and they experience roughness and hard training...some of them more than others

Italian players are suited for this kind of hard training... so if you want to participate to Farina training camp... you are welcome... but be aware of possible consequeces

Become Farina!?

If I would be Farina I couldnt read this, as Farina knows the Internet is much overrated.

To be an italian Team Captain you have to been tough as stone, or almost half as hard as Farina.
