    What will Italian fans think of his claim that a draw won't put a damper on their run at first place in the group?

    I saw that comment, too, and I just hope it's a smoke screen. A draw *might* be an ok result - if they were happy with second place. But the playoffs are such a lottery; I hope to God they aren't thinking that way. Certainly, starting four attacking-minded players (Totti, Del Piero, Fiore and Corradi) does not indicate an intention of going for a tie. Of course, if the game is tied in the 70th minute, hell would have to freeze over before Trap would tell his troops to go all-out for the winner.

    Corradi has it right in this story, it has to be win or else...I think Trap senses that with the offensive lineup he's set to use...
