Balotelli is the best striker Italy has at this moment. El Shaarawy is the best player in form. Di Natale is good when plays with Udinese, in Nazionale he never plays very well. The first two are young and promising players instead Di Natale is old and at the end of his career. This friendly against France is the right match to make experiments and try young players on the pitch togeteher. Di Natale does not make sense to play.
Shaarawy and Balotelli are not good enough players to start in an Italy lineup imo. Of course this is a friendly so there's no problem, but it seems like they'll start in official matches as well.
I'd sue the Italian Football Federation if I was Antonio di Natale.
France is the shit son :)

Play to win, Italy! Your FIFA ranking depends on it. LOL
