Garcia last month claimed a statement by ethics judge Hans-Joachim Eckert on his report into bidding for the World Cups had contained "numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts and conclusions" and announced he would appeal.

That appeal has now been declared inadmissible by Fifa's appeals committee, who said Eckert's statement was not a legally-binding decision and therefore could not be appealed against.

How good was Del Piero... I understand some describe him as the best number 10 ever?

When I really got into football it was more Nedved running the show whenever I used to watch Juve as opposed to Del Piero so never really got it with him.

But one of my older friends was saying he thought he was possible better than Dennis Berkamp.

Not even the best Italian number 10 on the world cup winning squad. Although he is not a really a number 10 like Totti or Dennis. He was more of a second striker

Pre-injury Del Piero would've gone on to win EVERYTHING for years and years. He was absolutely sensational. Comparing that Del Piero to even the best Totti is simply risible, even though they aren't really all that comparable to begin with.

I agree with this post. He could have been GOAT if it wasn't for that stupid injury.

True that Del Piero was insane. But then Totti also had a potential career ending injury and came back amazing.

Totti would have won just as much with Juve or RM.

But you are right. Del Piero was always the better goalscorer, while Totti is more creative. They both have always been asked to do different jobs for their teams.

I always find it interesting that Raul said CASSANO was the most talented player he has played with.
