Francesco Totti is one of the world's most naturally gifted players, but has struggled to prove it consistently on the international stage. He showcased his vision, incisive passing and cool finishing as Italy made the final of Euro 2000 - his first major tournament - but has failed to fulfil his potential for the Azzurri. The Roma forward was sent off for diving as Italy lost to South Korea in the second round of the 2002 World Cup, before his Euro 2004 campaign was cut short when he was suspended for spitting at Denmark's Christian Poulsen. Totti feels he owes Italian fans a big performance in Germany, but may struggle for match fitness after his impressive club form was interrupted when he broke an ankle in February.
