Looks like what you describe for Aqcuafresca is pretty long odds. Would he be able to make the Olympic team? I just like his name!

You knowledge of Italian football is remarkable. I'll have to bother you more often in the future We need to have experts from all European countries in this forum!
Its brutal for Brazil because its not how they play, they have an abundance of AMs like Ronaldinho, Robinho, Kaka... and a lack of real good DMs. For Italy, it would be playing to their strengths... for Brazil, the opposite.

I think Acquafresca has a good chance of being on the olympic team.

I think there's a few guys lurking around with good expertise in the other leagues. Thanks for the compliment... I probably watch Serie A and Italy's NT as much, if not more than I do the Flames.
