another draw

No wonder we are so crap in the FIFA rankings! Cannavaro should not complain about it and start leading the team to more wins!

Why any player or team or fan cares about the FIFA rankings is beyond me.

It was a reaction to Capello asking him to warm up and include Zalayeta instead. What did Lippi do today? He made him warm up and included Toni instead.

Two different situations if you ask me. Capello made Del Piero warm up for 40 minutes and then brought in someone who isn't as good as Alex (my opinion anyways). Both Toni and DP were warming up and Lippi opted for Toni, who I'm sure Alex will admit is in better form. I think DP was ticked off because Capello made him warm up for 40 mins.

Pirlo just wide

I would have played Camoranesi, Pirlo and De Rossi in midfield; Totti, Cassano and Gilardino in attack. If Gilardino was injured Toni will come in.

I'd love it if we could sneak a win!

Cassano wouldn't have been any good. He hasn't played enough.

Vieri continues his habit of wasting chances

But Capello explained why he chose Zalayeta over Del Piero, why won't that convince you? I am not defending Capello here, I wanted him to take Zlatan off the pitch and I didn't care who would come in instead.

I completely agree with you. Seeing as Cassano wasn't in the squad and Gilardino got injured who would you have started? Del Piero, Vieri or Iaquinta?

As if Del Piero has been playing amazing.

Thats just because of Lippi's Juve days that he gave Del Piero the call up.

I would go for Toni instead of Gilardino and Iaquinta instead of Cassano. PLayers like Vieri and Del Piero have been used and abused in the NT and proved unworthy.

Exactly, had it been any other manager than Lippi, Del Piero would either have joined Miccoli watching wrestling or watched the game on TV in Torino.

Del Piero out of Azzuri squad..pointless to keep him in! and Vieri....has way passed his prime....
