How can you say that? He is Juventus' symbol, it is even better than being in the starting 11.

FT 1-1
I won't give ratings, but comments on the italy squad..
Peruzzi - Didn't have to do much, except for the goal he conceded, but it was not his fault.
Zaccardo - Worst player on the pitch. Gave away too many balls, and was his fault that the goal was scored.
Cannavaro & Nesta - Both seemed a little shaky tonight, and allowed miller to dribble around them too many times for my liking.
Zambrotta - Made some good runs, and a few good crosses, but other than that, nothing special.
Gattuso - If it wasn't for him, there would have been more than a goal for Scotland.. Great runs back to help the defence.
De Rossi - Below-Average
Pirlo - Made a few good passes here and there, and produced a wonderful cross that should've handed italy a goal, if it wasn't for zaccardo and his bad positioning.
Totti- Again good passes here and there, but produced nothing "Totti-like" other than one wonderful dive and an elbow to face..
Iaquinta - Was invisible most of the time, and his passes rarely hit home.
Vieri - Had great first touches, but awful finishing. He missed a sitter in front of the goal by blasting it over the bar.
Subs:
Grosso- Gave Italy the defensive stability that zaccardo couldn't, and made a few good crosses. Plus, he scored the goal..
Luca Toni - Much better than Iaquinta.. Moved around a lot, and won many headers.
Camoranesi - His form today and the ponytail makes me think I'm seeing Il Codino again.. OK, maybe that's an overexaggeration, but he gave italy a much needed spark in midfield.. Dribbled around countless players, made dangerous crosses, and had a great understanding with zambrotta and totti. He also provided the assist through the corner. Italy's MVP this night.
All in all, a worrisome game for Italy.. I just hope Lippi realizes next time to not leave Camo out of the first XI..
