If DP and Totti can work together well playing and sharing the similar role, then by all means I would use that attacking lineup. Anyway, its ultimately up to Lippi- we can discuss when DP is on the plane to Germany. ;)
loll they don't like eachothers specially Totti , if they do Italy will win the world cup 2006 :)

Teen Steals Bakery Truck; Eats self to Death
Associated Press
November 16, 2005

A Royal Oak teenager is dead tonight after stealing a bakery truck and being involved in a police chase on Interstate 75 earlier today. The teen reportedly stole a bakery truck from Sweeheart Bakery on Kelly Road in East Detroit at about 1pm in the afternoon, and promptly tried to drive back to his house in Royal Oak.

A bakery employee noticed a rather large figure step into the truck outside the store, and right away she knew something was wrong. "I never saw dat person in my life. I also never saw somebody so fat in der life also," stated Sherry O'Donnell to Local 4.

At about 2:00pm EST Michigan authorities issued a Donut Alert, the first in the State's history, to give the public warning of the bakery theft. Authorities also described the suspect as a white male, about 5 foot 5, 350 pounds wearing a sweatsuit and possibly holding a Boston Creme in his left hand.

At 2:15 EST Royal Oak police spotted the bakery truck travelling on 12 Mile Road near Woodward Avenue and authorities promptly tried to pull the suspect over. The teen had no intention of pulling over and continued weaving in and out of traffic with donuts in hand until he lost control of the truck and crashed into a parked vehicle. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene.

"I'm glad we nabbed that fatass. Donut boy has been stealing donuts all over the area and denying me my breakfast," yelled Officer Dailley after the chase was over. Officer Dailley and his partner Thomas Dooley helped themselves to a few celebratory donuts with the Local 4 Crew after catching the high profile bakery theif. "Hmm, donuts" authorities said.

The coronors office reported that the cause of death was an apparent heartattack the teen suffered while driving the bakery truck and eating the truck's supply at the same time.

I hope your wife isn't too talkative either, Vinni. A husband with his jaw wired shut could be a hapless victim when faced with a wife out for verbal vengeance. ;)

Hope you are hanging strong.
its uncomfortable, but not too painful

the only thing making it worse is that I'm congested, and have a sore throat

I'm not complaining...things could be much worse............

I hope so. Though to be honest, its unlikely he will make an amazing impact- Gilardino + Toni + Totti are superior players, and are more likely to start. You never know though- one bad match from Totti which makes Italy look bad (quite common nowdays) or an injury and Del Piero should get his chance to shine.
Totti isn't a superior player. I would even go as far as saying that Lippi should think about leaving him at home. Why? Because he's harmful for the team's moral and is far too likely to get suspended. Make no mistake, Totti was the sole reason Italy got thrown out of Euro 2004. Italy built their entire team around him, so they couldn't deal with his suspension. I say Italy shouldn't make the same mistake twice.

And apart from that Totti also tends to hog the ball. You wouldn't think so, but the Azzurri are a faster team when Del Piero's the playmaker. He distributes passes a lot faster (and better might I add) than Totti. So on the whole, I'd definitely put Del Piero in my starting 11 before Totti.

Amazingly I agree with Seven here...whenever Totti is playing he seems to hog the ball and always to make the crucial decisions himself instead passing the ball to the open player. He also always tries to go through the middle of the pitch and rarely looks out towards the wings, especially when Del Piero available on the left flank. When Totti is on the pitch he just needs too much of the ball and the rest of the players seemingly let him run the game...that isn't good when you can just let Pirlo make the Azzurri tick.

Because he has better plaers around him in the NT and also doesn't make 12 M Euros a year, so i think he sees it as pro bono.
I think it is because he's spoilt and he just wants to show off with the national team.
