So why hasn't Francesca Piccinini been starting, let alone playing at all? She's a world class player, not to mention gorgeous But her reputation and accolades speak for themselves.. Any thoughts?? fun clip I found of her!

There is someone playing better as an 2nd OH than her (Picci)... Antonella Del Core is a better receiver, attacker and is the more consistent as of the moment. While Carolina Costagrande, the other starting OH, is just too good as an attacker and an all-around player to be sitting on the bench.

I think she has been on a slight and gradual though noticeable decline for a couple years, particularly with regard to her effectiveness as an attacker.

Italy's offensive system is based off of the success of their MB's and Costagrande. Del Core is one of the best receivers in the game. Picci is probably a better attacker than Del Core but not as consistent on receive as Del Core is. That's why she's not playing.

Even though del core is a good receiver and all I still think piccinini is a better player And not to mention the experience she has.

Eventually everyone reaches a point where "experience" just becomes "old age". Fortunately for us Dani isn't there!
