    alex & pippo have both played well respectively for the NT recently. to drop them is ludicrous.

    btw, i dont know what ludicrous means, or even if its a word.
    Its a word, Sally !!!

    It basically means, crazy or outrageous

    We all see your point though !!!

    He's also a rapper from the Dirty South:D:D:D


    And it's Mike Tyson's favorite adjective, although he pronounces if "lewdikwiss"


    Keep the poacher on the team, as vin so lovingly describes him.

    IN all fairness if we are going to strip Pippo of a spot on the national team because of a few bad games then what do we do with Alex?! Come on... don't be biased.
    We burn him at that stake! I've got a lighter, you bring the stake, and I'm sure DJ has some lighter fluid...let's get to it folks.:LOL:

    Seriously, Del Piero is a much more unique payer than Inzaghi is. Del Piero is a support forward who produces assists and goals. He also can come from deep in midfield or out on the wings and that is a dimension that Italy's other strikers lack. Inzaghi could easily be replaced by Montella, Di Vaio, or Cassano. Maybe Del Piero hasn't performed well for Gli Azzuri, but he's not as replaceable as Inzaghi, so until someone comes along who can replace him, y'all are stuck with him.

    i say the azzurri stick with what they've got- dp, vieri, pippo, dv, and probably corradi (sorry, but never a fan of delvecchio)

    incubo, inzaghi's my fav player fyi. hence the nickname.

    Inzaghi should definitely be in the squad as Italy do not have anyone like him so if you are looking for something different then stick him in there

    I'd say that Vieri, Del Piero, and Corradi are indespensible, because Vieir is their best player, and Del Piero is the only support striker. Corradi has to be there because he's the only one who can replace Vieiri, so I think that you have to choose between DV and Pippo. They aren't so very different, so it'd foolish to take both, and a bit too many stikers considering the formation...

    The good news is, No Cassano in Euro 2004 :D

    How does Del Piero deserve a starting position on this team after he has been one disappointment after another AND NEVER delivered in a big game? How can one say with certainty besides being totally biased that he should be there bar none. More importantly, no other player has been given this many chances as Del Piero and failed to come through. Put him on the bench and let him play and maybe score like he has done as of lately.
    After what Pippo has done not putting is simply because he was with JUVE and now is with Milan. No other justification in not having him be part of the team.

    Saving Italy from first-round elimination isn't performing in a big game?

    Beating Wales wasn't important?

    DUDE In International Competition DEL PIERO is a BUST...98...2000....2002....if any other player performed like that they would have never been a starter. Please don't look pitiful and pinpoint his one goal which we would have passed anyhow. When is it ENOUGH of giving him a chance? Ride the bench!
    Pippo scores goals .... and score he has. Another thing unless you are Italian its hard to have an unbias Italian of Pippo on the National Team. An Italian wants Italy to win. They could care less right now about Pippo Alex Vieri Totti Gigi whatever. WIN SCORE ..bottom line. Otherwise you are a Juve fan first and your hatred of Pippo comes before all else. I.E. More likely to be biased.

    I never said I hated Pippo... he was actually my first favourite Juve player, and I was sad when he left. Pippo and DP play different games. Inzaghi finishes the chances made by players like Del Piero

    edited because i said something stupid :groan::wallbang:
