World Cup 06 - Andrea Pirlo

"I spent that afternoon of Sunday, July 9, 2006 in Berlin sleeping and playing the PlayStation. In the evening, I went out and won the World Cup."

I understand the elegance and skill of this man but is he crazy? Hours before the most significant time of his career he sleeps and plays the PlayStation? I'm baffled. The words of Andrea Pirlo, a World Cup to his name, with two Champions Leagues and four Serie A titles for good measure. He reminds me of a fearful Godfather type character. The boss. With that beard, he can do anything like sleep, play then win the World Cup. But there were aspects of his career where he could not do ANYTHING. Like missing the penalty in the 2005 Champions League final against Liverpool. What a great night that was.
