Italy: Luca Toni

Star Man - Luca Toni The Bayern Munich forward is one of the most prolific strikers around - he has just hit 39 in all competitions domestically and has a ratio of almost a goal every two games for his country, including five in qualifying. As the focal point of the Italy attack, Donadoni will be relying on Toni to keep up his terrific record and with two wide men to complement his threat in the air, Toni is one of the front-runners to finish as the tournament's top scorer. The 31-year-old is arguably the most complete centre forward in the world at the moment, as he is as much of a threat on the ground as he is in the air, and links up play superbly well. If the delivery from wide areas is good, Toni will take some stopping.
British Interest

One of the few nations not to have a current Premier League player in their squad, three have experience of the British game - Christian Panucci, who spent a short spell on loan at Chelsea, Gennaro Gattuso, who played 40 games for Rangers early in his career and former Everton defender Marco Materazzi.

But one man who could move to England in the near future, if newspaper reports are to be believed, is Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani.

The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and with his superb range of passing and ability to score spectacular goals, it is no surprise.
