DP has probably secured his place in the Italy squad, but he's still fighting with Cassano for a starting place so it's key that he plays well on Sunday and in the pre-Euro2004 friendlies and training.

lucky for DP. Cassano's ending to the season seems somewhat low key... cannot say the same about the start though....

but if he is gonna choose cassano , that mean Trapattoni is the biggest a$$hole ever , and the most stupid ! he should not do the same mistake he did in the WC... i think he learned a lesson from italy - mexico !

I'm a hardcore Del Piero fan and like you I want nothing more than for Alex to shine in Portugal, but you've got to admit, Cassano has had a better season. In 2002 Trap definitely made a mistake as DP had enjoyed a good season, but the same can't be said this time, even though DP's year has been plagued with injuries. Hopefully he'll be 100% fit and in form come summer time, because this will probably be his last major tournament with the Azzurri.

Sadly to say, yes. I remember when he scored that goal in the WC against Mexico, to take them through to the next round. I remember the american announcer saying "Ohhh, and a goal for Del Piero!" That moment almost brought tears to my eyes, as I was elated. Probably something I will never forget.

that one hurt a lot. I felt like telling trap "See? See? What could've been if he played more..."

but anyways given this season's performance I think Cassano deserves a place more, however it is true that he is ending the season in a low-key, so you'll never know

 

[Azzurri7]

Why Cassano??
Dp he's back inform , we (don't need to try new players in Portugal) we want player who can drive italy to the finals , and i would choose Dp over cassano , P.s Vieri Totti Dp is absolutly the best choice....

Penalty kicks --->Dp
Free Kicks---->Dp
curvin--->Dp
Stamina---->DP
Experience---->Dp
Assists--->ofcoarse Dp

u want more? So no thnx Dp should b in the startin eleven !

Del Piero is a better player than Cassano, there's no doubt about that. He has won everything there is to win with Juventus and scored some fantastic goals along the way, while Casso has had only one good season in the big flight to talk about, but that season was this season. I personally believe that squads should be selected based on how players are playing CURRENTLY. If I was the Azzurri coach I know that DP would be in my starting line-up, but you can't question the fact that Casso has had a better season.

i agree with u azzurri7... just because cassano plays well for roma, IMO he has too low experience to play in euro2004...i really hope that trap wont make a BIG mistake playing casson insted of DP!!!
Forza A. Del Piero!!!

 

[Elnur_E65]

Either way I see it as a combination of both.

Trapp will be the one observing the players during preparations for Portugal, not us. He will be making his conclusions.

And we will discuss the hell out of them!

 

[Roman]

Del piero will be selected for the euro,no doubt.
even if we lose the Siena game,and he play a poor match.
He(Trap) can't leave him here.

As for the game,THANK GOD IT IS THE LAST MATCH THIS SEASON,
yeah,to end with a win would be nice.
as Siena already secured league survive,...
Siena-Juve
1-2.
Forza Juve!

 

[Azzurri7]

Forza Juve & Dp

 

[sallyinzaghi]

either way bobo vieri is the striker anyway :groan:

 

[Bjerknes]

I think Trap would be rather stupid not to play our Captain Alex, considering it might be his last competition for the Azzurri. Eventhough Cassano has had a good season, his attitude is not the most gentlemanly, and he lacks experiance.

yeah... that way Del Piero can go to Portugal on reputation instead of missing out on merit.... :undecide:

 

[JuveCampione]

Cassano is annoying. Del Piero should start in the NT. there is no place for clowns like cassano.
but I know Del Piero won't start he's injured too many times

This game is somehow important for Del Piero, and to us to know if he's ready, but not so important for Juve & Siena.
it could give us a better flavour of the end of the season, and it's Lippi's last game as a Juve coach...

 

[kaizer]

i wont be able to watch the last match of the season, with lippi as the coach *crying* *crying*

i'm sad as hell rite now :down:

 

[A_LAcki]

Lippi should play the reserve team. The season is over and nobody cares about that game!

Lets hope for a better year. :thumb:

 

[Stevie]

Del Piero will definatly start. He has scored in nearlly every qualifier and the totti, del and bobbo thing has worked out well so far so there is no need to change it now. Its too big of a risk.
I hope miccoli plays some part in portugal.

 

[Azzurri7]

Stevie11 : yep i agree bobo and dp and totti thing really worked ,so no need for the RISK !
