I remember that before WC2006 none of my friends gave a dime for Italy in that championship..... but i just kept telling them that the team going to the WC was very compact on all lines and would compete.
Their faces of frustration when italy got to the final were priceless.
Agree, DP should get 30 mins minimum at both matches. But he should not start, unless there is no other choice(because of injuries or lack of fitness), or if the choice is Borrielo. He is much much more dangerous in this stage at the second end of the match.
