Roby Baggio will always be my favorite player, Cannavaro is a great player but no comparison with Baggio, Maldini, Del Piero or Totti, Nesta I would put him in the same category as Cannavro.

Gianluca Pessotto played with Juventus until the end of the previous Serie A (he is only 35) and he was a great player in the National Team too. Great man and exceptional professional player. He was nominated Team Manager just a month ago, after the scandal involving the Team.\nAt this time is still early to have an idea of what really happened, and any speculation is just unfair towards him and his family.\nThe most important thing is that he is alive and doctors most likely will save his life.\nDelPiero, Zambrotta and Ciro Ferrara have immediately left Germany and  reached Turin to be next to him.\nThis episode has a huge impact on the National Team, but the "Azzurri" will react in the best way: winning with Ukraine and dedicate that to him! Italians always double their power in cases like this!

I think Lavolpe should forget about personal problems and start thinking about the world cup. What stupid excuse to say that he does not fit with the way the team will play? He can play any position and any way

I think the U.S.A has a chance. They need to play their game that they played in 2002. Italy didnt look great against Ghana in their first game. The U.S has players that can play against anyone they are very young and talented. My Advice: Be Confident and Play like a 5th place team in the world!

Italy. Given a healthy Totti, they can definitely go far.

I don't see why not...it's just a matter of time, they've got the players but they have to play better and we all know they can. After Bruce Arena talked to Landon Donovan, the latter went out and played much better, also the coach omitted to send Eddie Johnson, an aggressive forward, to prove himself against Italy.

I don't think so. Their group (group E) has  Italy, Ghana, and the Czech Republic. Ghana won't likely be much of a challenge and the Czech team is unchallangeable. That leaves a match up between Italy and the US for the second seat to advance. Although the US is ranked higher than Italy, the Italians have been showing alot of improvement in recent games. They even started to actually attack when in the lead instead of sitting back and playing defense.\nThe US may pass in third however.

I think they have a shot to get to the next round. Italy is tough to beat, but they may win to Ghana and Czech Republic. As long as they know how to distribute their energy Ghana will be easy to beat, and the Czech Republic is a similar team but USA can outrun them.

Of course they have a chance. Nesta is still out I believe and Totti's fitness for a full 90 minutes can not be guaranteed.What a fantastic job the Ukraine have done. A poor country does not make a poor team as implied above. Many poorer nations have great players and teams. It is a way out for them so they are committed. They will have to play as a team and create the opportunity for Shevchenko to be used at his deadliest. He is for me one of the top 3 players in the game and someone like that can not be under estimated nor can his ability to motivate and drive his side. As with Australia, the Ukraine have nothing to lose so I'm sure they will go out there with that in mind and have the game of their lives. I love to see sides like this succeed. They have worked hard for this opportunity. My money is on them and I hope they take Italy to the cleaners. It would just be fantastic for world football to see an under dog have such great success. Good luck to them and lets hope Shevchenko is on his game. If they get past this game anything is possible for them. Their confidence and belief in themselves will be unshakable. Confident teams will play well.

I think it's good idea, because Azzuri need a player that have internasional experience likes Inzaghi, and he is a smark player too, goods in heading and can find possition

there are different point. point one they have always being a defensive team, so its going to be hard to break through Ferrari,Nesta,maldini, and probably materazzi. second point they have a solid mid, again very defensive, gatuso and pirlo if they recover balls and give them to totti, well.....you know what he will do..... ha... there is the trick.... totti will play them to either, luca toni or gilardino, and if none of them work on top... well there is del piero and insaghi maybe dinatale or vieri.. for the first time... Italy has a team very solid out front.....there is no stoping Italy..... by the way i am American....sorry... we wont make it to the second round...
