6. What’s you favorite/proudest Azzurri moment?

Proud/Fabio Cannavaro lifting the trophy in the midst of the whole Calcipoli scandal. Telling the rest of the world that we are indeed the best.

favourite/ Trezegol making his way to the spot on that night in Berlin, something inside of me (despite being a big Juventino!) just knew that after what he put us through in Euro2000, that he was going to miss. It was a feeling I can’t explain and will likely never happen again, but i just was so confident that he would miss it.

7. Are you Italian? If not, what nationalities are you? I am English.

8. Top 3 Azzurri players: Alessandro Del Piero, Gigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro

9. Top 3 favorite Italian players not currently on the senior squad: Superpippo, Maldini, Vieri

10. 3 Azzurri players you can’t stand: Matrix, Mauro C, and I don’t have a third :S

11. Favorite Azzurri goal: Del Piero’s goal against Germany was fantasitc. Starting in the defence with Cannavaro, making its way through the midfield with a nice ball by Totti to Gilla, and then the nicest of weighed backheel touches to Alex Del Piero, who glanced it into the top corner. Brilliant. Grosso’s goal may have been the decider, but ADP 1) made sure of it and 2) provided the moment people will remember from that game.

12. Favorite tourney that the Azzurri were in: WC06. From the moment Totti scored that penalty vs Australia, you just got that feeling that we could do it.

On the subject of ADP playing for Italy. Is he really that bad? or is it just bitter Milan/Inter/Roma/Viola fans as well as Rome and Milan based press just bitching about him because he is the symbol of the club they can not stand and wish to be? The fact is he is always there for his country. Not like Totti or Nesta. What if he was not there vs Germany, or what if he was not there to be brave enough to take a penalty in the world cup final? People need to remember that he is not 11 men, he is one man, Italy or Juventus have never been a one-man team when ADP has played for them. When they fail, they fail as a team. When they triumph, they triumph as a team. No one man won the world cup in 2006, same as no one man won all of Juve’s honours over the past 15 years. Both were team efforts.
