I'm mostly with Zlatan on this one. I don't hate Del Piero, but I learned long ago to face reality and not expect him to be a superstar at every major tournament, because he's been anything but that. Talk about injuries and personal tragedy, but the excuses are wearing thin.
Del Piero's credibility as one of the legends of the game is at stake, and as much as I don't rate him as highly as some, I like him as a man and as a player, and as unlikely as it seems, I hope he plays well and even carries Italy to the tournament.
