As a fan of the Azzurri first and foremost above any other team, it really doesn't matter to me if the team is full of Juventus players or if there are none at all. As long as they win. All loyalties to club teams get thrown to the wayside, or at least they should be, when it comes to the national team.
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.

Andre and Franco hit the buttons: As an Italian I really don't give a damn WHO scores or brings us to glory...(NOTE I'm not making this statement and then saying "nevertheless I am rooting for so and so 
). I have shouted at the screen insisting Del Piero be taken off the bench and on the field and even yelled ALEX! albeit it once (Italy-Mexico)....
Unfortunately Alex better hope he is not replaced by Cassano because the word BENCH is not in that kids vocabulary. That said Alex has gotten some lucky breaks from someone pulling strings above AND nothing is guaranteed...even his playing poorly does not guarantee he will ride the bench.
Forza Italia.

It would be great to see Italy lift the cup while playing exciting football & as Iceblu put it I too would be delighted if DP, Zambro & Buffon have a good tournament. However, it would a shame if Trap messed things up & Italy plays that boring score 1 and defend to death catenachio(sp) shyte.
As for DP I think this is his last chance to show what he is made of & I hope we see a glimpse of the 96/97.
Off topic:
I hope Gattuso will be a regular bench warmer.
