| Totti admits 2010 temptation |

Roma captain Francesco Totti has hinted that he could be tempted out of international retirement to play at World Cup 2010.
The Giallorossi talisman quit Azzurri duty after the triumph in Germany in 2006 to concentrate on his beloved Roma.
However, Totti has given his clearest hint yet that the return of Marcello Lippi to the Italy hot seat has changed his mind.
“What if Lippi called me for World Cup 2010? I wouldn't say no right away,” Totti told the Corriere dello Sport.
“I would carefully ponder my decision over and over, but only because it is Lippi and he has always shown an exceptional attitude towards me.”
Totti also discussed the Serie A situation with the Lupi and insisted that they aren't in the title race in spite of their recent form.
“We must be realistic - the Scudetto race is between Inter, Juventus and Milan,” Er Pupone stated.
“For us to come fourth after the way we started would be like a mini-Scudetto. I still think we can come second, but we will certainly be in the top four, even if we have to watch out for Fiorentina and Napoli.
“It's too early to say that Inter are running away with it, but they could well do.
“I hope the Rossoneri will win in the end because they have less of a rivalry with us and I have lots of friends there.”
