PARMA, Italy - Defender Andrea Ranocchia and striker Mattia Destro were cut from Italys final 23-man squad for the European Championship on Tuesday, while defender Leonardo Bonucci was included despite reportedly being under investigation for match-fixing. Italy coach Cesare Prandelli trimmed his provisional squad from 32 to 25 on Monday. One of the players axed was Zenit St. Petersburg defender Domenico Criscito, who was officially placed under investigation for possible match-fixing when he played at Genoa. "It was very painful on a human level to remove Criscito from the group," Prandelli said. "But we couldnt give him the pressure of taking this story around Europe, we wanted to protect him. He immediately told me he had nothing to do with it and we believe in Mimmo. "The most annoying thing is that some people have put Bonuccis case together with Criscitos. I repeat, Bonucci has not recieved any official notification from the prosecutors. Thats why hes coming with us to the Euros. We all want to play, to win. And to come out of it clean." Destro was left out of the squad for the June 8 to July 1 tournament in Poland and Ukraine in favour of five other forwards, including Mario Balotelli and Antonio Cassano. Ranocchia was the other man cut on the final day before squads had to be submitted to UEFA. Angelo Ogbonna, who played in the second division with Torino last season, remains with the squad. The defender played a key part in his team winning promotion to Serie A. There were injury doubts over Giorgio Chiellini and Riccardo Montolivo at the end of the league season, but both were included. Italys first match at Euro 2012 is against Spain on June 10. The team also plays Croatia and Ireland in Group C. Italy has only recently recovered from the 2006 match-fixing scandal - known as Calciopoli - that resulted in Juventus being relegated to Serie B for a season, plus points penalties for several other Serie A teams and lengthy bans for club and refereeing officials. The Italian national team reacted in the best possible way, winning the World Cup later that year. "The similarities with 2006 are there," Prandelli said. "But they say in the difficult times the group unites, and thats what I hope. "But I dont believe in the theory that says that Italians only emerge in times of crisis. We also rise in times of calmness. Now the important thing is to make people understand our intention: we have to clean up football." ___ Squad: Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint-Germain), Morgan De Sanctis (Napoli).

How much the recently re-acquired wide receiver plays against the Tennessee Titans is the big question.CALGARY - Its not going to get any easier for Calgarys newly-minted starting quarterback Kevin Glenn. With Drew Tate electing to have shoulder surgery that will sideline the quarterback for the rest of the CFL season, Glenn has stepped into the starters role but is off to a shaky start. Glenn threw a costly interception late in the game against Montreal and the Alouettes rallied to beat Calgary 33-32. He said hes put that game behind him and is ready to guide Calgary in an important divisional match against the unbeaten Saskatchewan Roughriders at McMahon Stadium. Watch it live on TSN tonight at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt.  "The biggest thing for us as an offence is to stay on the field, keep their offence off the field and put points on the board," said Glenn on Wednesday. "What we can do is we can come out here and give 100 per cent on the field and try our best to produce wins for the fans." Glenn, 33, started his career in Saskatchewan, where he played three seasons with the Riders from 2001-03 before going on to suit up for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the Tiger-Cats and now the Stamps. He knows Rider Nation will be on hand to give Saskatchewan a boost in its bid to remain the leagues only undefeated team. "Its crazy because I played in Saskatchewan and when we used to come to Calgary, I used to say, Man, weve got a lot of fans," said Glenn, who took over the starting role when Tate suffered his non-throwing shoulder injury during a 39-36 road loss to the Toronto Argonauts on July 7. Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant has no doubt that Glenn has the ability to bounce back with a solid performance after two straight road losses. "Hes never really been a guy that gets down after a big game," Durant said. "He always bounces back. He always gives his team an opportunity to win. We know that we have our work cut out for us. Its not going to be easy. EEvery team is coming after us.dddddddddddd Its definitely going to be a dogfight and we look forward to it." Saskatchewans rookie head coach Corey Chamblin hopes the vocal Riders fans help his team to a fourth straight win to start the season. "Were 3-0 and hopefully theres more green than red here, then Id really love it," Chamblin said. "Its a good feeling right now. Its definitely a lot better than being 0-3, but theres a lot of games left." Glenn, however, would like nothing more than to help the Stamps (1-2) stop the Rider roll with help from Calgarys faithful. "The red and white will swallow up that green and white once game time comes," said Glenn. "I think the Calgary fans, theyre some really good fans, so I think theyll do a good enough job to come in here and try to outdo the Saskatchewan fans." Defensive lineman Odell Willis, who the Riders acquired in the off-season from Winnipeg, begs to differ with Glenn. "Rider Nation is some of the best fans in the CFL," said Willis, who played 10 games for the Stamps in 2009 to start his CFL career before being dealt to Winnipeg. "I get pumped when I see them excited about what were out there doing." Although first-year Calgary cornerback Fred Bennett has yet to experience the rivalry between the Stamps and Riders, hes heard all about it. "Everybody will be pumped up and ready and Im sure I will be too," said Bennett, who has played in the NFL with the Houston Texans, San Diego Chargers, Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals. "Weve just got to go out there and put on a show and hopefully we come away victorious." "Were playing a very good Saskatchewan team thats undefeated," added Calgary coach and general manager John Hufnagel. "Theyre flying high. Itll be an emotional game on both sidelines. Im looking forward to it." ' ' '
