...their fire-breathing dragon of a coach, Philippe Troussier. The French import, known for gesticulating wildly on the sidelines while his interpreter perfectly mimics his antics, once taunted his players for being pampered babies whose play lacked passion.

Roma's fabulous Francesco Totti, the linchpin of the team, will play behind the front runners?that is, when he isn't driving defenses crazy by himself. The Italian defense will again be superb, providing a combination lock of skill and experience that will be hard to pick. If there's any weakness it's in the four-man midfield, where imagination is sadly lacking...
