Yeah, he had a great chance. He should've just shot it, though, he had a clear shot. Oh well.

The Juventus captain has played 83 times for the Italian national side following last night's match against Lithuania which the Azzurri won 2-0.
Alessandro Del Piero has made it no secret that he would like to reach the important target of 100 matches for the Italian national team, an objective which is well within his reach.
"I hope I can reach that target," declared the Juventus forward when asked about the 100 international matches.
"I was really looking forward to this match, I'm pleased with the observations and compliments. As an 'oldie' I hope to give the good example: today the young players who played have done well, therefore I'm satisfied.
"It's a good thing that Quagliarella steals the headlines of the newspapers, he's very good and it's fair that in the matches, those who shine are those who are playing and not those who aren't."
Finally, Del Piero commented the appointment of Claudio Ranieri as coach of the Bianconeri.
"His curriculum speaks on its own; we can work straight away to do well like we all hope."

“I wanted to cut back once more and slipped, so the chance went begging. I hope that is an example to youngsters too – on how not to do it!”
Oh for sure, also Ale is the most capped Juventus player in NT history and most capped forward in Azzurri history :eyebrows:
PS And I'm sure Buffon can become Azzurri's most capped player at some time in the future...

Gazzetta dello Sport says both European giants have asked agents about Del Piero's situation with little movement coming from Juve over new contract talks.
Del Piero has just over a year left on his existing deal and Juve chief Jean-Claude Blanc said today: "We've already spoken with Ale, but not about his contract. The agreement expires in 2008, there is plenty of time."
