yes I think that's very possible. I hope he takes charge... I still remember a perfect freekick for Alex in 2002 but he let Totti take it and he made a really bad one (vs Corea), it was sik.Exactly.Imagine Toni and Dp upfront with Totti behind of them.Dp can create and score, when in the same time I don't think Gila can do one of the 2 jobs well.From what I've seen Gila misses chances, gives some wrong passes and makes some useless forward runs.I'm sure that Alex even in his medicore day can do better.Him with Totti can both feed Toni better with balls so he does not need to come back, something that he did with Gila next to him.
Ghana goal ‘liberated’ Iaquinta
Vincenzo Iaquinta has admitted that he has taken great joy in silencing his critics by scoring in Italy’s 2-0 win over Ghana on Monday.
The Udinese man was a controversial World Cup selection by Marcello Lippi who opted to bring the striker instead of the more prolific Cristiano Lucarelli of Livorno.
Yet Iaquinta came off the bench in Hanover against the Black Stars to score his first goal for Italy, after 12 games, and make the three points safe for the Azzurri.
“A lot of people suggested that I shouldn’t be a part of the squad and the goal against Ghana was a liberation for me, my own personal vendetta,” said the 27-year-old.
“I heard and read a lot of horrible things said about me, but I just allowed them to slide away and I just focused on training well.
“It is a great joy for me to be at these Finals and I started on the bench against Ghana with the same determination as if I had begun the match.
“That was my secret behind the performance. I was full of concentration and I took the opportunity when the Coach handed it to me.”
While Iaquinta is all smiles, the former Pescara forward did offer the troubled Alessandro Del Piero his full support.
The Juventus captain seems to be frustrated with his lack of real use against Ghana even if Iaquinta insists Pinturrichio will show his worth.
“Alessandro is very tranquil right now and he’s let the criticism pass him by,” he added. “Del Piero is a great champion.
“He is also the nicest person that I have met since being brought into the squad. He was the first to talk to me and joke around on my arrival.
“He has no need for help from anybody because he is the sort of person who helps himself,” concluded the Roma target.

Very good news!!1 thats a relief!.
Hehe i didnt tho about the idea of benching Gila and let Dp start against USA =D, if he continues doing good during trainings, he will have a very good chance to start against USA.
If he can transform his frustration in hunger....... (check the brace on trainnings), he will be more than capable to start with Totti!!!
Lets cross fingers!!!. A frustrated Alex is not good......... but lets remember that when he was pure TNT in the mid of the last campaign...he wasnt frustrated but was really upset with Capello and was hungry to show his worth...which he did everytime Cap used him as sub!!.
Maybe thats what is happening now.......!!!
