Here's something to cheer everyone up this Thursday morning. The amount of these that Trezeguet assisted is crazy.

That combinational play on the third one...incredible!

Alex and Clayton Kershaw. As a lifelong Dodgers fan, I approve of this.

Here is what I'm talking about

I gave my vote, but it's futile. It'll be another Messi-CR7 duel.

And rightfully so, DP should not be anywhere near that category.

And rightfully so, DP should not be anywhere near that category.

He's among top 10 scorers of all time in the CL, and it's a good decision to place him in that poll, but obviously there were better and more influential players. These two are definitely ahead.

Pre injury del piero was better then both, and considering the leadership ablities as a captain, del piero would have a bigger impact then messi on this rediculously talented argentina NT

I'm not doubting him as a player, for me he was probably among top 10 best players, but as a scorer he is far from best.

I think he's a great scorer. The fact that he scored so many goals during his career, although he played in the difficult Serie A, proves it. Besides his famous miss in Euro 2000 final, I can barely remember him missing in front of goal.

Pre injury Del Piero was the best footballer I've ever seen. Pace, agility and quickness were the attributes that he lost a bit after that horrific injury and for a good 2 years after it he lacked confidence; that last was rather noticeable at the Euro, hence his misses in the final game.

Oh I don't doubt you think that way.

Cassano would have a bigger impact than Messi. Del Piero would lead them to a WC with atlest one Copa America untill now...

This is so true. Pre-injury Del Piero was incredible. 23 years old and scored 32 in 47 for the club including 10 in 10 in the UCL in an era when the competition was much more balanced. There weren't just 3 or 4 super clubs like there are now. That injury was devastating. It took him 4 years to break the 20 goal mark again. I mean, pre-injury Del Piero had 20 goals in 27 matches in the UCL over three years. And he hadn't even reached what should have been his prime yet. He doesn't get injured, I can imagine Juve going to another UCL final or two around 2000, and winning another, with DP scoring at a goal a match in the UCL for 3-5 years. That was unheard of at the time.

Only now, in the era of poor defensive play has that happened again with Messi and Ronaldo.

It makes me laugh when Roma fans claim Totti was better than DP. He never came close to that season of Del Piero's. Besides DP scored 27 National team goals to Totti's 9. Embarrassing display for country, and Totti somehow thinks he deserves a WC inclusion this year. He's always choked for Italy. 9 goals Without the injury Del Piero would have had 10x the career of that no class dud.

I seriously doubt that a pre-injury del piero was better than Messi and Ronaldo.
