Euro 2016: 5 players teams might regret not taking to France

The European Championship is Europe’s premier international competition

4) Sebastian Giovinco (Italy)

Consistent with Antonio Conte’s snub to Italian MLS stars, the 29-year old striker was left out of Italy’s provisional 30-man squad along with Andrea Pirlo. Even though he plays in a relatively inferior league, his form was good enough to have been in the Italian squad.

Giovinco scored 22 goals in 33 games for Toronto FC last season and won the MLS MVP (Most Valuable Player), and Golden Boot. He was also the top-assist provider for the club last season. The Italian has also broken the all-time goal-scoring record at Toronto FC with his 30 goals in 46 games.

Giovinco could have added another dimension to Italy’s attack with his pace and Conte could regret not having him in France to provide that option.
