Explain to me how he would have made an impact in a game where Italy were almost out on their feet from the beginning of the second half till the end of the match where they could not put 2 passes together almost thruout that period. Tendency to fail on big occasions? 2 pks taken in the biggest club and country competition there is and he has scored both penalties. Contrast to Trez, he has missed in both. This aint time for any negative talk about any player, enjoy the moment as its once in a lifetime deal
I agree with you. Italy played defensive style and tend to use direct play to the striker. This system of play certainly can't optimize Del Piero and also Del Piero played in his unfavorite positon. But IMO he did and adapted well.

Tendency to fail on big occasions. Maybe he confused himself with the chances that Del Piero missed in WC 2002. When it comes to penalty kick, I think Del Piero is the master.

And yeah this is the time to enjoy the moment of World Cup.
It's time to ask for an amnesty for Juventus :cool: :D

Thuram and Trezeguet images were hearthbreaking, and their faces for sure interrupted my smile when they were shown on TV.

Definitely a sad moment for us bianconeri
A sad moment as well as a happy one, such is the nature of football.

As a Bianconeri, it was hard to see our players and former player end their world cup so.
