No Signori Giuseppe was not shown the red card.He was rather shown the yellow in the 60th minutes of their encounter with Nigeria in the second round.The Italian player who was shown the exit was Zola Gianfranco in the 75th minutes and Italy won 2-1 after extra time.Goals from Roberto Baggio in the 88th and 100th minutes sealed everything.

Hi hyc_chud\n\nHernan Crespo will probably start today for Argentina, The reason he was left out of the game against Holland was to keep him fresh for the Knock Out stages of Competition.\nAnd to give Tevez and Messi a game to improve Match sharpness

I was shocked when I didn't see him in the match against Ghana. He was the main player for ITALY in the EuroCup 2004.\n\nI don't think he was injured, the only reason is he was out of form.\n\nThe manager has a duty to select 23 players for the World Cup. He has to have substitutes for different roles of defence, midfield and forward. Cassano fall short when Toni, Del Piero, Gilardino & Iaquinta were selected. Toni has a great season and the rest have done well too for their respective clubs.

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!

He will definetly play. He is healthy again and will be part of Roma's team against Treviso tomorrow. He is slowly coming back in form. It is unthinkable to send Italy to the World Cup without Francesco Totti.

Italian football in shock as Juventus manager tries to kill himself on eve of corruption hearings \n\nBarbara McMahon in Rome\nWednesday June 28, 2006\nThe Guardian \n\n \nGianluca Pessotto plays for Juventus during a Champions League match. Photograph: Marco Giglio/AFP/Getty\n  \nThe man appointed by the Italian football club Juventus to help restore the team's reputation after corruption allegations has tried to kill himself.\nGianluca Pessotto, 35, a former player who was recently appointed manager, climbed to the top of the club's headquarters in Turin on Tuesday clutching rosary beads, and jumped 15 metres from a window. He survived, landing on parked cars, and is in hospital with multiple fractures and internal bleeding.\n\n\nArticle continues\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDoctors have described his condition as serious but say his life is not in danger. The news comes two days before Juventus, along with three other Serie A clubs, is due to face match-fixing allegations. Mr Pessotto is not among the 26 officials facing charges at the hearing, which opens on Thursday in Rome, and the reasons for his actions are unclear. He may have been depressed about a medical condition.\nThe Italy and Juventus captain, Fabio Cannavaro, abandoned a press conference after Italy's World Cup win against Australia. Cannavaro informed reporters that he could not continue and later described his former teammate as "the nicest guy you could possibly meet". Marco Materazzi, a defender, said he was baffled. "He was with us in Hamburg a few days ago and he seemed happy and serene. He's a friend. We are all very upset. What can have happened?" The players Alessandro Del Piero and Gianluca Zambrotta were given permission to leave Germany to visit Mr Pessotto, who played for Italy 21 times.\n\nJuventus, AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina - and more than two dozen officials - face match-fixing allegations over the past two seasons. The former general manager Luciano Moggi is at the centre of the claims. The entire Juventus board resigned because of the scandal.\n\nThe club, the oldest and most successful in Italy, could be stripped of the Serie A titles it has won in the past two years and faces being relegated to a lower division, if the charges are proved.\n\nMr Pesotto, who retired a year ago, was appointed to restore the club's reputation. He was said to have been chosen because of his self-discipline and rapport with fans and players. On the day his appointment was announced he said: "I begin this role with enthusiasm and will do everything in my power to be worthy of it."\n\nAlthough not implicated in the current scandal, the 35-year-old has been questioned in a separate doping case which saw the Juventus team doctor convicted. The verdict was quashed but prosecutors are pursuing the case in a higher court.\n\nRecords of Mr Pessotto's blood tests figured prominently during the first two trials, with prosecutors claiming they provided pointers to the administration of the stamina booster erythropoietin.\n\nMr Pessotto joined Juventus in 1985 and played for 11 years, helping the team to win six Series A titles, a Champions League title and an Intercontinental Cup, before taking on his new role.

Argentina's first game was a mediocre one. The defense is very weak. The offense lack ideas.Crespo looked like a very good striker as a youngster, never did anything in the world cup. I hope there is an improvement with the players that didn't play yet. What is Ayala doing still playing? He never was that good and now, older, is a lot slower. Vamos, Argentina, todavía.

Van Nistelrooy is as good as gone if you ask me, which is quite sad. Its pretty obvious when you are benched for the final few games of the regular season, and arent even allowed to participate in roy keane's testimonial match.\n\nHis replacement? David Suazo? Honduran player who currently plays in the italian league and scored 17 goals this past season. Why i think this? David Suazo's price tag is 10 million euros. Van Nistelrooy's price tag is 10 million euros. Coincidence?

Goerge Hagi, probably. He was insane;y good, and he played for huge clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona Galatasary. Also he had a wicked freekick.

Poor. He is proving to be a great player in club level only like Del Piero or Eric Cantona. He was awful.
