I don't know.
Italy forwards (6+1 - Marchionni is ranked as midfielder, but he's quite a forward, as well as Ribery in France):
BONAZZOLI Emiliano
CASSANO Antonio
DI MICHELE David
GILARDINO Alberto
INZAGHI Filippo
ROCCHI Tommaso
France forwards (5+1):
Govou
Henry
Ribery
Saha
Trezeguet
Wiltord
**If you were rating a team playing style as offensive if they have more forwards in 23-men line-up than the opponent has,
SO it seems as Italy is more offensive than France**
**If you were rating a team playing style as offensive if they send in the field more forward than opponent did, it needs to remember France played their standard WC match with Zidane playmaker moving between midfield line and the opponent box, Ribery as side (right) midfielder / wing and ONE forward only (Henry) [I guess they have Ribery + Henry + Trezeguet ONLY in Togue match, when Zidane was not eligible to play]- Italy had Totti as offensive center midfielder and TWO real forwards as Gilardino and Toni.
SO it seems as Italy is more offensive than France**
**If you guess France is switching to a more offensive attitude because in last Bosnia friendly match Domenech had finally a tactic working as 4-4-2 (what a brave one!!!!!), let's try to figure it out how attacking Italy will be with their announced 4-3-3! The three forwards ('il Tridente') should be Gilardino, Inzaghi and Cassano or Marchionni (btw Cassano is slightly injured, see link).
SO it seems as Italy is more offensive than France**
This wasn't serious anyway.
I guess actually Italy and France could start with 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 against Lithuania and Georgia, NOT when they will face directly. In their match they will switch respectively to 4-4-2 (Italy - maybe 4-2-3-1, but only If Lithuania match will be good played - and 4-3-3 was BAD in Croatia friendly, lost 2-0 without a real attacking attitude) and 4-4-1-1 (France - I'm not sure, but facing Italy with the same formation they had against Togue in a must-win match seems unlikely to happen, let's see)
And you aren't more performing and offensive with a lot of attacking midfielders and forward, we all well remember Brazilian pointless 4-2-2-2....
Last --
COFFEE
Measuring forwards # it seems Italy is more offensive, so Italians have the task to make coffee - PLEASE LET ME HAVE ITALIAN COFFEE ANYWAY (only habits of course, but the European black water mixture labelled 'coffee' is UGLY to Italian taste :((( every time I avoided any sip --- German coffee was the worst one to me --- now I'm going out to buy lots of Miscela Espresso)

Well then, it will be the right time to test what FIFA has learned in the last World Cup, to give those sanctions that many well deserved but never received.
I'll bring the warm baguettes and a Bordeaux.

Donadoni played for the Milan teams of old.
I suppose he will favor catenaccio.
But I can't understand how he could drop Luca Toni.

4 strikers out and 5 strikers in (cassano, bonazzoli, di michele, marchionni, rocchi)
so where's the problem?

Yes, but you have no Zizou. Are you admitting that those 4 players are better than him? Are they gonna be missed more than him on the Fench side?
That's what I am gonna read into your question, lol
