This might sound strange, but I think there's something going on with Del Piero. I've been in Italy for two weeks and I barely heard anything about him. Normally he practically has his own page in la Gazzetta, so I'm a bit wary at the moment.
Oh and Vieira, wow.
I read about Vieri, I read about Pizarro, I read about Toni and the pending departure of Gilardino, that is apparently only held back by judges, and then I read about Vieira.
A "colpo straordinario" indeed.
