no mattter who will be the starting11, I believe Lippi will win again. hes a real master. his ability of reading games is absolutly outstanding. 4 of 6 goals of Italy in this tournament scored by bench players. Could it be a record?

Australia then Ukraine.. Fantastic draw for Italy so far.
Italy shouldn't have any problems with this game. I think this would be the best formation considering the players performances so far:
Pippo Toni
Perrotta
Gattuso Pirlo Camoranesi
This would be insane...playing with this formation would see Lippi's men returning home on Friday night.
Putting Perrotta there??? atleast change his position with Camo...Not to forget that Perro can't dribble nor cross the ball, It's not his position, as simple as that.

Perrotta was fantastic in that position in Roma in Tottis absence. Not to mention he does his work both in the offence and the defence, and with his fantastic talent to run into the box with Italys long ball system imo he should be the obvious choise.

I know you're not an anti Dp fan. You're too smart to be that.
Anyhow, I still believe in him as I've always done. The day he'll retire will make me stop believing, as long as he's an Azzurri player and Juve captain, there's no way I can stop believing in him.

Unfortunately Totti isn't absent nor Injured, so I think he can play in that position. Playing Perro there would be really risky move and unacceptable. Perrotta may have done well before in that position, but lets be realistic, this can't happen in the world cup. And leaving both Del Piero and Totti out, is like walking on one leg.

To me he fits that position better than a defensive midfielder, and I have never seen him as good ever as when he played there. I'm pretty sure he would deliver more than spotti and el pimpo. Though those two are as you say neither injured nor abscent, so Lippi won't dare to try it anyways.
Zidane is older and he already did enough... Del Piero deserves his moment of glory. Figo, Raul and Beckham etc are all "past it" as well, but all had nice moments this WC... Del Piero should get it too I mean just let him shoot a freekick once it'll go in Just one time !
