ITALY - Vieri Takes a Shot at the Press...How About a Shot at the Goal?

In a vivid demonstration of the tension in the Italian camp, striker Christian Vieri marched out of a news conference vowing not to speak to the Italian press again.

Italian newspapers reported on Sunday that Vieri, criticised for his disappointing displays, had argued with goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon after Friday's 1-1 draw with Sweden.

"This is the last day that I speak to you," Vieri said. "You can say what you want about me as a player but when you offend me as a person, well ... I am more of a man than all of you put together." Italy play Bulgaria in Group C on Tuesday.
