Yeah no one said he's an arse sucker. And we did say he's good and has technical abilities, but he's not world class.
Not world class? You say, being the skipper of Juventus, one of the most elite teams in the world, doesnt make you world class. Being the starter forward for the past 5 + years for the Best team in Italy, and one of the best in Europe doesnt make you world class. My friend, if Del Piero isnt world class, then who is? Del Piero is just as world class as Figo, Raul, Becks, Zidane, and Ronaldo. Give me one good reason why he isnt world class? Just cause the friggin NT coach doesnt play him often doesnt make him not 'world class'. Heck the NT coach didnt play one of the most world class players : Baggio. Honestly, even a fan, who hates Italian football, believes DP is world class. HE EMBARASSED THE FRIGGIN REAL MADRID DEFENSE AND GOALIE THIS YEAR IN CL. That makes him EVEN MORE world class.
No seriously i want you to reason for what you said: "Del Piero isnt world class." Because frankly speaking, if he isnt, then there is no such player as a World Class Player.
And if you think ZIZOU is world class (in which i like him very much), but honestly HE SUCKED IN WC2002, dont give me injury bs. All players have their bad tournaments. And if they have a bad tournament you cant call them 'non world class'
And would a company like Adidas, make DP special shoes for fun???? Would they choose him with Becks, Zid, and Kluivert for most of their ads. No my friend, they didnt just randomly pick him out of a hat. THEY KNEW HE WAS WORLD CLASS ENOUGH for the job.
JUST MAKES ME MAD when people critize players, when they have no apparent reason.
