The chances for Juve their 26 scudetto is really good considering that Lazio must win and Juve must lose ,but Juve will be playing against Perugia ,a team that Juve always beat.BTW ,does any one know what will happen if they both end up with the same amount of points?Will they play each other to see who will win the scudetto or is it the goal defferenciality .

Yes Paolo_Rossi. If Juve draw and Lazio win then they'll have a playoff to determine the champion. The last time this happened was in the 1960's or so... I for one wouldn't mind seeing a playoff...

Thank you Zambrotta for mentioning what a major scandal this referee was, everybody was angry and talking about the ref after the game but I could not understand it because my Italian is not so good(Malesani and Cannavaro). There were three questionable calls in this game:
In the 11th minute a Parma player(forgot the name) got tripped ub in the box, possible pk.
On Del Piero's goal he shoved the defender out of the way, they replayed this on 90 Minutes and commented on it, during the game itself they had no good replays on it but if you saw the whole play he definitely shoved him on the shoulder, that is why he is lying flat on his back as Piero takes his header.
Finally on the called off goal in the 85th minute this was a major scandal! You could not tell what the foul was for but Kovacevic just went down and no one touched him, as for all the shirt-pulling it went both ways.
Overall I think it was a pretty good game but Parma just didn't do enough to try to score, every time there was an attack all the midfielders were like 30 meters behind Crespo and Amoroso. No support! when the best attacker coming out of the back is Thuram(he had three amazing length of field charges!)you know your midfield is not playing well.

I hope this time Perugia does not screw it up and will draw at least (last year they lost to Milan...).
A "final" would be cool, but it would also hurt Italy's preperation for EURO2K...so I say: FORZA PERUGIA!
Del Piero finally did his, but what's more he played a good game. Perhaps he will play well at Euro2K, because the last major tournaments he was under too much pressure and sucked. He will never be the kind of player he was supposed to be, no new Baggio for sure, but at least I hope he will be a good forward for the next 5 years, and that he'll never have to go thru something like the last 2 years again.
BUT: What the hell did the stupid ref do? Cannavaro's goal was GOOD! This was a major scandal!!!
