Victory for Canna
The King of Marking will now be worshipped in Italy with the same awe that was reserved for captain Dino Zoff (who headed the team that won the 1982 World Cup) and prize defender and captain Paolo Maldini who have won Italy glory.
What a roller coaster ride!
On July 9, Cannavaro went to sleep at the Italian base at Duisburg with the Cup and his son Christian, honoring a promise he made to the youngster.
If the judgment in the match-fixing case goes against Juventus, Cannavaro and other Juve geniuses will be debarred from playing in the next Italian football series.
Already there is talk that Canna may be headed for FC Chelsea.
