Italy manager Cesare Prandelli has rung the changes ahead of his side’s friendly against Ukraine in Kiev on Tuesday.
Prandelli has made seven changes to the team, with only four players retaining their spots in the starting line-up from Italy’s 1-0 win over Slovenia in a Euro 2012 qualifier on Friday.The lucky quartet comprises defenders Christian Maggio and Giorgio Chiellini and midfielders Roberto Aquilani and Riccardo Montolivo.Despite all the changes, Prandelli said his players are ready for the challenge and he expects his side to play to their best.”I have seen a motivated group. There is the desire to play,” Prandelli said. “We must erase the word friendly. I expect a real game. I want to see more running and penetration with respect to Friday. I expect the team to build from the back.”Prandelli declared he was delighted with the form of forward Giuseppe Rossi both for his club and in training, but was not prepared to comment extensively on striker Mario Balotelli’s latest indiscretion.Balotelli was caught throwing darts at youth players at Manchester City’s training ground on Sunday and when questioned why he was doing so, claimed he was ‘bored’.”I don’t know the details of the darts incident and I am not going to go into it a lot,” Prandelli said.”If he really said that he was bored, the next time he can call me and speak about other things
Fabio Capello will not field an entirely new England team against Ghana on Wednesday, but the coach is planning significant changes.
England secured a comfortable 2-0 win over Wales in Euro 2012 qualifying on Saturday, but six of the players involved have now been released to rejoin their club sides.With a near-capacity crowd at Wembley Stadium expected to see a second-string team in the international friendly, Capello has been forced to justify his thinking.”There will not be 11 changes. It will be seven changes, depending on which players will be fit tomorrow (Tuesday),” the Italian said.”(Phil) Jagielka, (Gary) Cahill, (Leighton) Baines and (Andy) Carroll will start, (Gareth) Barry will be captain and (Joe) Hart will be in goal.” “It is important for me to see the players play a team like Ghana, this is a really important team.”"I respect the fans but it will be interesting to see some players they don’t know so well.”"It will be interesting for me as well because these players who will play are really good.”Reinstated captain John Terry, Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney and Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard were among those who featured against Wales but have now been released.All six players are expected to be in Champions League action next week.”The players that went home are not here because I prefer to preserve them for the clubs and for us,” Capello said.”At this moment if you are tired it is easy to be injured.” “They would have played four games in 10 days. It is dangerous for players to play so many games in a short time. Now they will play only three in eight days. Capello also gave his blessing for Jack Wilshere, newly promoted to the senior team, to take part in the England under-21 side’s European Championship campaign in June. “Yeah, I will support him 100 percent because I think the players will be really important for the under 21s,” he said.”Those players can make the difference.”

Russia – winner of the rights to host the 2018 Cup – will travel to Doha’s Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium on Tuesday, which is not one of Qatar’s 12 host stadiums at the 2022 Cup tournament.The scheduled match between the two countries was planned within days of their respective Cup hosting rights being granted by FIFA last year.Dick Advocaat’s Russia will be keen to bounce back after being held to a scoreless draw with Armenia on Saturday, while it is Qatar’s first outing since losing 3-2 in the Asian Cup quarter-finals to eventual champions Japan.The Republic of Ireland will host Uruguay in Dublin, in the two nations’ first clash since the Irish welcomed the South Americans to their capital in 1986.Costa Rica will christen their new stadium in San Jose when they welcome an Argentina side fresh from a 1-1 draw with the United States. Harnessing the talents of Lionel Messi will be in the forefront of the Central Americans’ minds, with the Barcelona attacker instrumental in Argentina’s goal against the US on Saturday.The Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica was donated by the Chinese government as part of the two nations’ diplomatic relationship, established in 2007.Portugal can return to winning ways after two matches without victory when they host Finland at the Estadio Municipal de Aveiro. Missing captain Cristiano Ronaldo to injury, Paulo Bento’s side had a first international goal from Porto winger Silvestre Varela to thank for their 1-1 friendly draw with Chile on Saturday.Also in action on Tuesday, China host Honduras, Jordan do battle with Korea DPR, Oman welcome Tunisia, Belarus take on Canada, Peru face off with Ecuador, Cyprus play Bulgaria, Slovakia and Denmark go head to head and Poland travel to Greece.Australia can atone for their drubbing at the hands of Germany in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when the two nations face off in a friendly in Moenchengladbach, while Chile-Colombia, Ukraine-Italy, France-Croatia, England-Ghana, Cuba-Panama, USA-Paraguay and Mexico-Venezuela are also in friendly action on Tuesday.

As expected, yesterday turned out to be a relatively uninspiring day on the football front—Everton got through on the back of a fantastic Tim Howard performance and a brilliantly-struck Leighton Baines free kick late in extra time, but other than that we didn’t get much for the neutral. To compound matters, Crawley Town went out and got the worst of the worst to sponsor their shirt for the match at Old Trafford, erasing any chance that Liverpool supporters could swing behind them. Only positive ended up being that it was a great way to advertise the “Don’t Buy the S*n” campaign.
So now it’s almost time to close down the weekend, with a handful of matches underway or yet to be played, and more to follow tomorrow afternoon before the week gets rolling with more Champions League action and the return leg of Liverpool’s tie with Sparta Prague. Typically I’m not one to wish away the days, but with no matches for Liverpool and waiting for some big personal news this coming Friday, the end of the week can’t come soon enough.
Thankfully today there’s a bit more to report on the Liverpool side of things to get through:
** I suppose it was inevitable that we’d get some Liverpool/Red Sox crossover action (besides ill-conceived t-shirts lacking in creativity), so yesterday’s news that a friendly could be coming to Fenway Park wasn’t all that surprising. For those of us stateside it’s great news—Liverpool’s senior squad haven’t been in the US since their 2004 tour, in which John Arne Riise gave birth to one of the more embarrassing commentary moments in recent memory. That aside, a return to the States with NESV/FSG backing was probably only a matter of time, and with recent preseason jaunts heading to other parts of the globe, it’d make sense to see Liverpool in action in the US in the near future.
** There was a brief moment of joy yesterday when I read the headline, “Reina and Kuyt Set to Pen New Kop Deals,” and then I realized it was in the Mirror, and I felt much shame, and then I felt even worse when I found out that the Mirror was borrowing from the People, because it was probably more likely that both would be leaving Liverpool by Thursday than actually working towards new deals.
So today’s news on the official site is of the confusing sort, as it confirms that Dirk Kuyt is actually working towards a new deal and proclaiming that he’s tied to Liverpool for the future:
“My contract has one more season to go after this but there are things happening. We have had some talks and I can only say it looks positive. I feel at home in Liverpool and I don’t want to leave here.
“It has been a difficult time for everyone at the club with the changes that have happened since last summer but now I can sense something good is happening – I think Liverpool are on the way back.”
This opens the window for a) debating about whether or not you actually want Dirk Kuyt to continue at Liverpool for years to come; and b) hoping that Reina’s in a similar spot. As for the former, I’m all for Kuyt sticking around longer and being a part of the squad, but I’m also hopeful that it doesn’t deter from the club going after reinforcements come the summer transfer window. I know there’s split opinions on how Kuyt should fit even in the current squad, so it’s likely that those among us who don’t have much time for him now probably won’t be lighting off fireworks at the news. Regarding the latter, though, I think we can all agree that any movement towards locking Reina in for good is a positive step.
** Stepping a bit closer to the edge in terms of speculation, there’s been talk in the past few days about Alberto Aquilani and a possible return to Liverpool. Aquilani kicked most of it off on Thursday by commenting on the uncertainty about whether or not the asking price will be met by Juventus, and since then he’s gone from “absolutely won’t return” to “probably still won’t return but there’s a glimmer of hope particularly when you’ve been drinking.” It’s not completely unlikely, but I think getting set on his return would be a bit much at this point. Maybe Kenny Dalglish’s return makes it closer to being within the realm of possibility, maybe not. Either way, we can agree that Christian Purslow should be drawn, quartered, and forced to watch Lucas compilations on repeat.
That’s about it for the weekend, so hopefully you’re all able to enjoy what’s left of it. I think we can all look forward to a quick week and Liverpool getting back into the swing of things for a brief spell—three matches in the next two weeks is all that’s promised, with Manchester United’s visit and the trip to Sunderland the only matches on the books at current for the month of March. Success on Thursday will obviously boost that a bit, but it’s another relatively lean month once the next two weeks have passed.ac
