1. You, sorry to say, are wearing Del Piero blinders. I really have no clue whatsoever why people cannot see this. Zlatan is more involved in the matches, has scored 6 goals thus far, and has at 8 "assists." Zlatan is more of a force as well. This info compared to Del Piero's 7 goals and 2 "assists".... ENOUGH SAID.
2. Of course I'm pro Zlatan. I am "PRO" anyone who has shown the better form during the season. I am "PRO" anyone who gets himself invloved in the matches more. And who knows, maybe Del Piero's fitness is the reason for Capello subbing him? If I was manager, I would certainly choose Zlatan over Del Piero. But that's just me, I could see many others here field Alex and Trezeguet all the time, with Tacchinardi in midfield. I am very thankful to have a manager who is not afraid to play the younger players, that is what we need.
