Left out in favour of Del Piero in the semi-final but came on to score a beautifully taken Antonin Panenka-style penalty in the shoot-out. The coolest man in the Amsterdam ArenA.

Struck a beautiful goal against Romania in a fine all-round performance.

Responded to earlier criticism with a sixth minute headed goal and regularly threatened the Belgium goal.

His threaded passes had been wasted by Inzaghi against Turkey in a largely disappointing performance.

The Italian version of Peter Beardsley, with better looks, Totti is a wizard on the ball and always looking to put teammates in on goal.

Has an amazing touch and eye for a pass, but finds it hard to fit into a stoic 4-4-2 formation unless playing alongside an out-and-out goalpoacher.

With Alessandro del Piero almost guaranteed a starting spot, the similarity between the pair could result in Totti finding himself benched for much of the tournament.
