QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Jul 3 2006, 02:17 AM) Grosso isn´t that bad...he has some potential. But Zaccardo..? I really hope he continues to score like he did on the USA match for Inter. That would make Inters defense even more...tragicall (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)  I agree, Grosso does not suck as I said earlier, nevertheless he's nothing special ... Definetely not worth playing in Italy's starting XI, IMO !! |

The Italy starting eleven is very controverse to me...some questionable players show up...Zaccardo (dam it why not Oddo? I have the feeling everyone is infront of him in Lippis order), Grosso, Perotta, but also some bench players - Barone? My godness...he just can´t do anything. Why not Maresca instead? And then this Iaquinta, well lets just say that Pippo is a 100 times better than him. But the man (Lippi) continues to win, so I guess it has to be accepted that way (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

CAFU HOPING FOR FAREWELL MATCH
AC Milan defender Cafu is hoping to earn a Brazil recall - in order to bid farewell to the national team. Cafu, the only captain to lift the World Cup on two occasions, has not played for Brazil since their defeat to France in the quarter-finals of Germany 2006. But the 36-year-old retains hope that new coach Dunga will grant him a proper send-off. "I still look forward to playing two or three more games for the national team. I have to have an honourable goodbye, but I am not trying to put pressure on Dunga," Cafu told GloboEsporte.com. "I think it has to happen naturally, at the right time, with no pressure. "If I'm named, it will be a pleasure for me to wear the national shirt again." link |

Yeah I read that earlier, somewhere ... He should be given his Nationale farwell, cuz he deserves it .. He is the ONLY one to last through three WCs (maybe four, not quite sure) ... In anycase he deserves it

He is their most capped player and played in 4 WC. He deserves something big.

Cafu considers new deal
Milan defender Marcos Cafu has announced that he might extend his contract with the Rossoneri. “Adriano Galliani said we can discuss a renewal.†The Brazilian, who will turn 37 in June, is contracted to the San Siro outfit until the summer and stated in November that he had received an offer in Brazil, which he was considering carefully. “Galliani gave me the good news, maybe I can extend my contract with Milan,†said Cafu. “We will meet this week to discuss the details, in order to understand if we can reach an agreement,†added the former Roma star. “I have been hearing people say that I am old for the past ten years, but I have never given up. “I believe I can still play for a long time, I have no intention of stopping. Now, chances are that I might stay here for another season rather than returning to Brazil,†concluded Il Pendolino. Cafu, who arrived at Roma in 1997 from Palmeiras, joined Milan in 2003, playing 101 Serie A matches and 33 Champions League ties so far. Milan are set to undergo a complete renovation process in their defensive department at the end of the current campaign, as veterans Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Costacurta seem likely to retire.

Ok so I guess Cafu is staying on for yet another season .. as I said on another thread, his presence is good for the Brazilian community at Milan. Do you see how happy R9 is, cuz Milan has this Brazilian vibe to it and Cafu is definitely an idol for Brazilians. Plus he is a champion and no one has been able to manage winning 2 WCs and reaching 3 WC finals as he did, so that is something that adds to teh team's experience. Expecially now that Billy is gonna hang up his boots.

i'm not gonna say that these aging players of ours can't perform but they get injured too many times in a season and it's as simple as that, either we play with these old players for another season and struggle with injuries or we start a new generation in Milan from next year on.

You do realise Grosso was Italy's MVP for the tournement, he was awesome. Second Round: vs Australia: Got forward well late on, and won the 92nd minute penalty which put them through to the QFs. Semi Final: vs Germany: Eliminated the hosts with a superb goal Final: vs Arsenal: Scored the decisive penalty, with complete confidence.
