PREVIEW

Azzurri show must go on

Italy will be without their talisman-ic striker Francesco Totti for Friday's crunch Euro 2004 clash against free-scoring Sweden here on Friday.
European football's governing body UEFA on Thursday suspended the 27-year-old striker for three matches for spitting at Danish opponent Christian Poulsen in their Group C opener.
Danish television caught the incident on camera during Monday's goalless draw which left the Italians, beaten by France in the final of Euro 2000, two points adrift of pace-setters Sweden.
Totti, sent off for diving in Italy's 2002 World Cup second round defeat to South Korea, will only return if the Italians reach the semi finals.
The loss of Totti is a major blow to Italy who desperately need to beat the Swedes to keep alive their chances of reaching the quarterfinals.
Italy were tactically outsmarted by the Danes, but striker Christian Vieri has backed coach Giovanni Trapattoni to turn their fortunes around after a slow start and dismissed newspaper reports of unrest in the camp.
"There has been no uprising against the coach and no arguments between the players," said the Inter Milan forward, who has been linked with a move back to his former club Juventus this summer.
"All these stories are false. The journalists who write these things should really be sent home."
Vieri said there had been discussions with the coach and insisted Trapattoni had not lost the confidence of his players.
"We talk and that is normal, but Trapattoni always has the last word and he hasnt lost his grip on the squad."
Totti's place is expected to go to AC Milan playmaker Andrea Pirlo, while midfielder Gennaro Gattuso could get the nod over Cristiano Zanetti having replaced him in Monday's match.
Gattuso, who plays for AC Milan, was also quick to rally round Trapattoni, Italy's mosts successful coach at club level.
"It is not Trapattonis fault because the players are 70-80 per cent responsible for what happens on the pitch," he said.
"We are the ones who are actually playing out there and it is up to us to improve."
Gattuso said he couldn't bear to see Italy fall at the first hurdle, which is a distinct possibility should they lose to Sweden and Denmark beat Bulgaria.
That would mean Italy could beat Bulgaria in their final group game and still not qualify for the last eight.
