I know what this Italy side needs... Marchisio, DP and Giovinco. When I watch players like Toni play, I wonder how anyone can prefer him over DP, who could be of so much bigger value.

True to some extent, because he usually underperforms, but he has the skill to change games in one minute. That is where Italy is lacking, they should definatly use Cassano too.

It's not the same without Ale. And to be honest I'm not very interested to watch them when Ale isn't playing or on the bench.
Exactly. Same thing here.

You know something? I believe had Alex had a better coach than Donadoni and Trap or a better role Ale would have simply been the best Azzurri player ever.

Just offer him a contract till 2012, so we never have to experience football without Del Piero in it (the world will end by then anyway, right? :D).

I have already written some post about it somewhere. That Alex not performing to his standarts in Azzurri is because of his different role there then in Juve.

If they would try to give him more freedom and more responsabilities in the team i think he would shine there too. Although I don't think they should give it to him now, and that is because of his age, they should try to look for other alterantives.

I agree that not selecting him in this cup is a good thing, it will prolong his career. The rest he will get this summer will do him good. But not to select him and Cassano to WC would be a crime. Those are the players that even in a bad day can change the game in few seconds.

I wouldn't suggest betting on it. ;)

Dude stop it. Alex hasnt had a good game in Italy in YEARS.
Your are so brilliant you are absolutely right. .. hmmm and why is that????

Donadoni left him on the bench, and when fielded he played him as LM not even a left wing. Its like asking Kaka to play as a defender then blaming him for playing so bad.
The last gmaes Del Piero played on his position was in WC06 and he was brilliant.

ya, the way they played yesterday they should take back Dp,Totti and Casano, and forget Toni who is a waste, only player who performed yesterday was Iaquinta.
And how about those Pirlo freekicks, alex would have made at least one in against that ugly goalkeeper!

A world cup without ale would be the most dissapointing thing that could happen, even if he just plays last 30 min / match.
