ROME -- Giuseppe Rossi and Antonio Cassano were called up for World Cup fitness tests Friday by Italy coach Cesare Prandelli, while in-form forward Mattia Destro was left out while serving a three-match ban in Serie A. Cheap NBA Jerseys Authentic . Prandelli will have athletic tests and medical exams performed on 42 players Monday and Tuesday at the national teams Coverciano training complex in Florence. The tests will be designed to simulate hot and humid match conditions in Brazil, and Prandelli has said the data collected will weigh heavily on selections for his final 23-man list for the June 12-July 13 tournament. Rossi was Serie As top scorer until he re-injured his problematic right knee in January and has only recently begun training again. Cassano hasnt played for Italy since helping the squad to a runner-up finish at the 2012 European Championship but hes had a stellar season at Parma with 11 goals. Destro scored a hat trick for Roma last weekend and has compiled 13 goals in 18 matches since starting his injury-delayed season in December. But his three-goal performance was marred when he punched Cagliari defender Davide Astori, resulting in the ban. Prandelli has a strict code of ethics that limits call-ups for players who get into trouble with their clubs. Veteran forwards Francesco Totti, Luca Toni and Antonio Di Natale were also left out, despite solid seasons. Mario Balotelli leads the list of forwards who were included, with Torinos Ciro Immobile also in. The 24-year-old Immobile is tied with Carlos Tevez for the Serie A scoring lead with 18 goals each. Two players received their first call-ups: Domenico Berardi, a 19-year-old forward with Sassuolo who scored four goals against AC Milan earlier this season; and Brazilian-born Hellas Verona midfielder Romulo. Also included was 17-year-old goalkeeper Simone Scuffet, who has burst onto the scene with Udinese this season and has already been hailed as the next Gianluigi Buffon. Players based outside Italy were not called up -- although only for logistical reasons. Paris Saint-Germain midfielders Thiago Motta and Marco Verratti and goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu will still be considered for the World Cup. As will Zenit St. Petersburg fullback Domenico Criscito and attacking midfielder Alessandro Diamanti, who recently joined Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande. Fullback Christian Maggio, who was hospitalized with a collapsed lung last month and has not been cleared to play again yet, was also left out. Half of the players will be tested Monday and the others Tuesday. FIFA requires Prandelli to submit a preliminary 30-man list for the World Cup on May 13, with the final 23-man list to be submitted June 2.

LOUIS -- David Ross never expected to be on a World Series podium.TEMPE, Ariz. - Apparently every NFL team with a head coaching vacancy wants to talk to Arizona Cardinals defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles.Thats what my coaches tell me, Bowles said after Wednesdays practice, but me and coach (Bruce) Arians talked about it. Well deal with it next week as opposed to this week.Various reports have Bowles drawing interest from San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, the New York Jets and Oakland.You dont have time to be flattered, Bowles said, because you dont think about it because you have games to play.He said his only concern is getting his defence ready for Saturdays wild card playoff game at Carolina.Because the Cardinals are in the wild card, teams cant interview Bowles until next week.Weve talked about it, Arians said. This week is hands off anyways.Arians said he told Bowles, Next week, when youre preparing for the game, set aside a time that you want to pick a team or which teams you want to talk to.And Im all for it, Arians said. He deserves it and hes earned the right, but its not going to affect his focus on next weeks game.If Arizona has a next weeks game.The Cardinals (11-5), who probably will start third-stringer Ryan Linndley at quarterback, are 5 1/2-point underdogs to the Panthers (7-8-1) and are coming off their two worst defensive performances of the season. NBA Jerseys China. The last two games weve missed an enormous amount of tackles, Bowles said. Weve addressed that. We always do, and the guys have addressed that. Weve just got to get them down. Its want-to and weve got to gang tackle. It cant be just one guy. Everybodys got to get to the ball.Until the last two games, Arizonas defence was the teams backbone and among the NFLs leaders in run defence. But the Cardinals had all kinds of trouble against mobile quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick. Now they face another athletic one in Cam Newton, who is bigger and stronger than the other two.Hes a tight end, hes a quarterback and hes a tailback, Bowles said.Arizonas defensive players know they have to return to their early-season form, when the team got off to a 9-1 start before losing four of its last six games.Weve just got to get back to what got us here, cornerback Patrick Peterson said. ... Weve just got to tackle more viciously.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
