    He was/is better than Del Piero, Zola, Mancini and Cassano

    Can't be compared to Vieri, Inzaghi, Montella because he's a different type of player.

    You're a Roma fan, I thought you'd be agreeing with me :D
    I actually think he's quite overrated and for years he hasn't performed good. Unlike Del Piero, with years and how he aged he lost way too much IMO (and I'm not speaking nor rating him as a player only when he's 32+). His partnership with Cassano was brilliant in it's own way, eventhough it had a negative impact when it came to selfishness, where it was just Cassano looking for Totti on the pitch and vice versa. He had amazing passes and creativity (he had the best lobs ever and his goal against Inter/Lazio was brilliant), but how years passed he was offered a more offensive role where he played totally different. I'm not saying Totti is a bad player, far from it, but kinda overrated in my books. For one part of his career I'd say he's a legend in Italian football, but for other and probably major part -- not so much. Will it be a sad day when he retires? IMO, yeah. It's gonna be sad when you can't see neither Del Piero nor Totti, and their rivalty. I've never seen Zola so I can't judge, but I'd put Del Piero ahead of him really.

    Whoever thinks Totti is better than Del Piero is either a Roma fan, a EPL fan, or an idiot.

    Totti can thank his single scudetto to Batisitua. He barely had any impact on winning the WC.

    Or a Baggio fan that is bitter over Del Piero smashing all the numbers he made. Probably also wanted Del Piero to be sold back in 1998.

    Do we play Sassuolo in the coming league match? Or Atalanta?
    Sassuolo, and half of their players are out with either suspensions or injuries.

    Berardi, Biondini, Gazzola, Missiroli suspended. Acerbi, Bianco, Brighi, Manfredini injured. Brighi and Manfredini might be back in time, but it's doubtful.

    I would have preferred Atalanta first because Sassuolo are almost avoiding relegation, they will be on fire now. Atalanta have nothing to play for.
