Alessandro Del Piero's match-winning performance for Italy last night has provided Dino Zoff with a selection problem for the quarter-finals, but the Juve man believes that it is a good 'problem' to have. Now Zoff will have the tough decision of deciding who between him and Francesco Totti to pick for Saturday's game.

"I don't think this will be a big problem for Zoff," Del Piero said. "It just means that he now has one more option to chose from. That's good for me and for the team as well. In a way I'm happy to be a problem."

Talking about last night's game Alex admitted that Italy were lucky to get away with a victory. "Things didn't turn out too well for Sweden. I think we can honestly say that we were quite lucky. As for my goal I'm happy it gave the victory to the team but I don't expect that to be the passport to play the next match."
