    Why am I suddenly picturing Inzaghi in whiteface, singing the lead in “Pagliacci”?

    Bless Pippo. I know this is when he missed an opportuntiy against Reggina, but that just happens to be his face whenever he scores as well (See 2007 CL Final Celebration). Never has one expression carried so many meanings.

    One of my favorite players of all time. So much passion for the game. He celebrates every goal like he just scored the winning goal in the 90th minute of a World Cup final.

    That is what makes Pippo so great. Such intensity and passion. Talk about heart attacks he has already had hundreds of them. And I will never forget the celebration he had against Liverpool.

    he can be 80 years old, no legs and he will be offside over a 100 times. but when it matters he will score! and continue to score forever!!
