oh i do know how to respect a legend.but unlike you,im not blind.and incase you didnt know,the world isnt divided between del piero haters and del piero lovers.there are 3 categories.del piero lovers,del piero haters,and tards.ill make this simple for you - you dont fall in the first two categories.
salman what do you expect, this is a Juventus forum and Del Piero is Juve's greatest icon ever right there with Boniperti Platini Scirea and maybe even more. Del Piero is a recent World Cup Champion. I can speak for myself and say I don't give a .... about Cassano who is just plain sux compared to Del Piero and presents eveything that is negative in football today. Del Piero is admired HERE as the world's greatest because he's part of Juventus. Deal with it ... football is biased sure, but nobody is questioning that Del Piero is ONE of the greatest - see Pele's list, see Jubilee Poll, see all the different awards and recognitions and commericals etc - he's admired because he's a freakin' great legend. The fact that people who are Juventus fans see him as THE BEST or close to it is personal bias perhaps, but a very justified one considering his acheivements.
to be frank, DP stil hav some left in the tank for NT, but to see how Don treated DP, DP should just retired from NT and gives all to Juventus!! how many of u are confident that Italy will win euro2008? before world cup kicked off, i was damn confident that Italia will win the world cup, and I told all my mates and my brothers that I felt this was Italy's year under Lippi...and we knew what had happened. But under Don, and current squad? a big no ...young blood? are u talking about Cassano? mmm..what does he win? how proven is he at international level? just by having a good euro2004 that he is THE one for Italia? Lippi dropped him for wc2006, hello?? for me, i prefer Giladino...partner with Toni..Cassano? i will put him on the stand with del piero on the bench..hehe..
That would be great. If he gives 100% for us we will be in Serie A next year. As much as i like dp it is time to give the younger players a go in the NT. We need his support in this tought time and give players such as pallandino and chiellini expirience playing for the azzuri. Del Piero would give 100% for Juventus and the younger players will represent there country.
Looking at the way he is playing now, I don't think he should retire internationally. That is from a performance side of view. From a personal side of view retirement is something he has to decide. If he thinks he is fed up with international football he can retire, otherwise his performances are good for the first 11 of NT.
I would rather see Alex give one final push for the Euro 2008 championship and then retire from intl football...there is nothing better than going out at the top...but if his situation does not improve than better to quit now...no point of staying the whole way then just be a substitute for players like Di Natale and Toni (with all due respect)
