DEL PIERO: "AGAINST FRANCE
I EXPECT A
FANTASTIC MATCH
THIS IS THE BEST FINAL
Duisburg 06/07/2006
A stellar final. This is how Alessandro Del Piero imagines the final act of the World Cup that will see Italy play against Zidane and teammates. "I expect a fantastic match in Berlin against a team made up of great stars - said the forward from Casa Azzurri. Zidane has always been number one, but the problem is not only to block him, because the team coached by Domenech has other great players. I could not have imagined a better final for this World Cup".
A match that brings to mind some bad memories for the number seven player who has metabolized the disappointment of the European Championships of 2000: "We know how that match went and I also assumed responsibility for that result even if it was determined by other factors. I suffered a lot for that match, but it is part of the past. The battle we will face on Sunday with be another story": The final this time is yet to be written and to face this new sports battle a touch of counter-charm does not hurt. "I think that they are favored because they have had less stress - continued Del Piero. They do not have the load of responsibility that we have due to the events that have involved our clubs, they are subject to less pressure form press and TV and personally I cannot say that I am not thinking about the recent tragedy that hit Italian football and involved Pessotto, my former teammate and a friend."
A star on the field and off, Del Piero wants to take advantage of a unique opportunity in Berlin: "A World Cup final is fantastic, one of those three-four things that you dream about as a child. I am well and I hope to take advantage of the time I will be given, whether it be a lot or little, to give my contribution to the team, if the coach decides in this way. I do not think this will be my last chance to win something important at an international level for my generation, but I do think that it is a great opportunity. Someone might have already made decisions about his future, but time goes by quickly and in two years we will play the European Championships".

Woah, Del Piero is hinting that he will try and continue to play in Euro 2008 
and he won't retire. I still think that if Italy wins, Del Piero will retire from the NT, especially if (what I don't think will happen) but if Juve and Del Piero play in Serie B.... if Italy loses he will obviously not retire... he won't retire until the NT wins .... but he needes this win.

De Rossi deserve to start on the bench........... not for his red card.. but because Gattuso has been doing a wonderful job. I think Gattuso is getting ready for this momnet,,, and benching him would interrupt the harmony of our great luck
