Extractions: LONDON (SI.com) Italian defenders and Dutch strikers dominate the third annual edition of the World Sport XI, a ranking of the best players in the world at their respective positions during the 2002-03 season, as determined through voting at CNN's World Sport show and SI.com. Serie A's reputation as the home of the world's best defenders is validated by the selection of AC Milan duo Alessandro Nesta and Paolo Maldini in front of Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
Extractions: MILAN (Reuters) Italy always seem to make hard work of qualifying for major tournaments and Euro 2004 was no exception, but having finally made it the beaten finalists four years ago head to Portugal among the strong favourites. Three games into the qualification campaign, Italy looked more likely to be heading for the playoffs than taking the direct route to the finals as group winners. They made a poor start to the Group Nine campaign with a 1-1 home draw against Serbia and Montenegro in October 2000 followed by a shock 2-1 loss to Wales in Cardiff four days later. Both were poor performances with the Azzurri still seemingly suffering from the trauma of their World Cup let-down where they endured a shock second-round exit to co-hosts South Korea. But the return to fitness of key players, a change in tactics and an injection of fresh talent ensured that Giovanni Trapattoni's side did eventually win their group. Injuries meant Trapattoni was unable to play his preferred attacking trio of Christian Vieri, Francesco Totti and Alessandro Del Piero.

That throwback to a different era, playmaker Zinedine Zidane, is our World Player of the Year By the editors of SOCCER DIGEST FOLLOWING FRANCE'S 1998 World Cup victory, the tenacity and will of the melting-pot home team was praised; following France's Euro 2000 victory, Zinedine Zidane was praised. Zidane's second-half awakening in the Finals keyed Les Bleus push for the title and capped a tournament which put to rest most of the debate about who is the world's greatest soccer player and the sport's finest playmaker. Zidane simply owned the early rounds al the Lowlands. His ability to control a game from central midfield is unparalleled in today's game. As a result, he is often hailed as a throwback to soccer's supposed golden age and one of the few players who truly deserves the mythical No. 10 jersey.

Extractions: Our Paesani by Francesca Di Meglio JUNE 27, 2004 - Rising soccer star Antonio Cassano went from joy to sorrow in mere seconds last week after he scored a beauty of a goal that gave Italy a 2 to 1 victory over Bulgaria in the last minute of Italy's Euro 2004 game . Sweden had just tied Denmark 2 to 2, a result that assured both Nordic countries would get through to the quarterfinals, and Italy would go home. (Three of the four teams in that group - Sweden, Denmark and Italy - had 5 points, so goal differential was used to break the tie.) Many of the Italian players and coaches smelled foul play and suggested the Danes and Swedes fixed the match. Both sides deny it. Regardless of the truth, I for one am sick and tired of shedding tears for Italy's national soccer team. I thought we could all use a good laugh instead. So, without further a do, here are the 10 reasons why a conspiracy against our boys is credible:

Other Sport Azurri not so blue ITALY PROFILE: With a side boasting three of the best defenders in the world, Italys solid foundations will give a platform from which to build success, writes Paul Doyle After seeing the draw, the bookies immediately installed Italy as second-favourites and its true that elimination from a group including Croaita, Ecuador, and Mexico would leave the Azzuri feeling very blue indeed. Everyone knows Italys greatest strength: Alessandro Nesta, Fabio Cannavaro, and Paolo Maldinii are three of the best defenders in the world, and Gianluigi Buffon and Francesco Toldo two of the finest goalkeepers. Most of Italys midfield is defensive-minded too. Romas Damiano Tommassi and Gianluca Zambrotta of Juventus are even-tempered types who tend to stand firm rather than rage forward. The same can be said of Giuseppe Pancaro and even Demetrio Albertini, so the main thrust forwards comes from Francesco Coco, when selected, or, of course, Francesco Totti (above).

Other Sport EURO 2004 Italy Coach: Giovanni Trapattoni Giovanni Trapattoni is the most successful Italian club coach of the modern era but it is the Euro 2004 finals that will deliver the verdict on his ability as national team boss. Now Trapattoni has a chance to put the memory of the World Cup behind him and prove he can get the very best out of a squad which, with Alessandro Del Piero, Francesco Totti and Christian Vieri, contains some of the best attacking talent in the game. Key Players Name Christian Vieri (Inter Milan) DOB Position Striker Caps Goals With his permanent scowl, frequent refusal to celebrate goals and constant frustration at his team Inter Milan's limitations, Christian Vieri does not appear to be a man who enjoys his club football. It is a different story though when he pulls on the blue shirt for Italy. Born in Bologna but raised in Australia, and the son of a former Serie A striker, Vieri likes the game to be kept simple. Off the field he tires of talk of tactics and barely conceals his contempt for the Italian media. In action he relishes the basics being right an accurate cross to his head or a ball over the top to chase. In 39 appearances for his country Vieri has scored 22 goals, an impressive average at the highest level.
