<p>The 5-time World Champion (and official national team of the Metellus Family) Brazil announced their roster for the highly anticipated Feb. 10th friendly vs. 4-time and current World Champion, Italy. Its a roster that was surprising due to its omissions and additions.</p>
<p>The most glaring omission is the red-hot Juventus striker, Amauri who has carried Juve all season after his move from Palermo.</p>
<p>His omission from the squad could push him to play for Italy. The Brazilian born goal poacher has Italian citizenship and Marcelo Lippi could use a hungry striker to spice up the <em>Azzurri</em> attack.  It looks like Dunga chose Adriano of Inter Milan instead of Amauri.</p>
<p>Another surprise was the addition of Fiorentina midfielder, Felipe Melo.</p>
<p>The central midfielder got his 1st call up and looks to be the successor to players like Emerson and Gilberto Silva. Dunga regular, Diego will not appear for the <em>Seleção</em> and it appears that Ronaldinho’s inclusion came at the expense of Diego.</p>
<p>No surprise however that Dunga pilaged the Italian Serie A for this friendly against Italy. 11 of the 22 players called to the team draw checks from Serie A teams with AC Milan having 4, Inter &amp; Roma with 3 each and Felipe Melo representing Fiorentina. Here is the complete list of players for the February 10th friendly vs. Italy.</p>
<p><strong>Goalkeepers:</strong> Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Doni (AS Roma)</p>
<p><strong>Defenders:</strong> Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (FC Barcelona), Adriano Correa (Sevilla), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Luisao (Benfica), Juan (AS Roma), Thiago Silva (AC Milan)</p>
<p><strong>Midfielders:</strong> Elano (Manchester City), Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Josue (Wolfsburg), Anderson (Manchester United), Felipe Melo (Fiorentina), Julio Baptista (AS Roma), Kaka (AC Milan), Ronaldinho (AC Milan)</p>
<p><strong>Forwards:</strong> Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), Alexandre Pato (AC Milan), Robinho (Manchester City), Adriano (Inter Milan)</p>
<p>According to the official website of the Italian National Team, figc.it, Marcello Lippi will announce his roster on February 7th. The match will be played in London at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.</p>

<p>I’m going out on a limb in suggesting <strong>Udinese</strong> will beat Juventus.&nbsp; <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Di_Natale">Di Natale</a> is the man of the moment and <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amauri_Carvalho_de_Oliveira">Amauri</a> has been the signing of the summer so far.&nbsp; Also like <strong>Roma</strong> over Palermo&nbsp;and <strong>Seina</strong> to do the business at home over Cagliari.</p>

<p>Juventus vs Udinese</p>
<p>This is&nbsp;the derby of the second round, and after&nbsp;drawing late&nbsp;in&nbsp;Florence against the Viola, Juventus will want their first&nbsp;victory over a dangerous attacking Udinese.&nbsp;The Friulini won at the Stadio Olimpico last season creating&nbsp;a lot of problems&nbsp;for the Bianconeri.&nbsp;The Turin club will be stronger at home than in Florence, and&nbsp;Sissoko and Zanetti are back in the team however <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_Chiellini">Giorgio&nbsp;Chiellini</a> is still missing from the JUVE lineup.&nbsp; Finally, it&nbsp;will be a game time decision on&nbsp;whether <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Trezeguet">David Trezeguet</a> will&nbsp;start and&nbsp;in case he stays on the bench the most important signing from this summer, Amauri will definitely start. For the visitors, Antonio Di Natale is hot out of the gates as&nbsp;he opened his season scoring twice against Palermo on match-day one. Di Natale continued this run for the&nbsp;Azzurri&nbsp;against Cyrpus by&nbsp;matching his Serie A goal tally with two more goals. On the injury side for the visitor are Felipe and Zapata normally in defense as starting XI players.</p>
