Forget beckham but your logic is flawed. Zidane pulled through against Leverkusen ? Where was he against bayern, dortmund and real madrid then ? Ronaldo scored in a WC final ? not the 98 one did he ?

All it takes is one time in your logic. Del Piero can score in this WC final and all your logic be flawed. You take a few examples and present the picture the way you want, in carrears that are still going and ignoring what i said earlier, which are facts said. Ronaldo was the loser in 5.5.2002, a FANTOM, while Del Piero scored vs Udinese. Del Piero scored a backheel in CL 97 final. Think about that. There are no fallen heros here. Just need some luck.
