1. Why? Because he supports the Azzurri, if you in fact go in the Azzurri topic, in the international football section, you would see lots of praise by many Juventini on this forum. Balotelli has a tremendous future ahead of him. Being an Italian myself and Trequartista being a support of him, is the main reason why we both and others like Balotelli. As for you, I will not come up with assumptions, but being from Isreal, I don't think you support Italian national team, that once again is an assumption, and if you do support Italy and don't accept Balotelli, then from that logic, Cassano shouldn't be in the national team, or in the past that would imply the likes of Totti... isn't it that right? A bit harsh my fratello...
2. Best forward? That is false, as he is not fit enough to play full games. Though, as a fact, currently our best forward is Matri as he managed to score, 12 goals with a midtable club and then scoring another 8 goals with a struggling Juventus side. Del Piero is class, is a legend and is an icon, but to depend on him at the age of 36 is none sense, he's going to retire soon. This summer we were all anticpating a replacement for Del Piero, that being Aguero... Rossi, all of you were excited for these transfers, so that being said.. it's a condradiction to say, what you're saying now on DP.
I got agree with you, nobody hates Del Piero. Peope who hate Del Piero are not Juventini plain and simple, so those accusations from some posters here are very much slim to being none sense. Quagliarella should start playing soon! Him and DP last season were monsters together, Imagine with someone like Matri, where Quag scored 9 goals before his injury and goals coming from Matri. It would be like a scoring machine up front!
