Toni dreaming of World Cup ticket

On-loan AS Roma forward Luca Toni said he is still dreaming of a place in Italy coach Marcello Lippi's World Cup squad in South Africa after bouncing back to form since the turn of the year.
Toni has featured little since Lippi came back to the helm following Italy's quarterfinal exit at the European Championships two years ago.
And after being frozen out at Bayern Munich over the first half of the season his chances of a World Cup call-up seemed to have disappeared. But a loan move to the Italian capital as helped rejuvenate not just the 32-year-old but also his chances of heading to South Africa, although he recognizes there is a lot of competition.
"There's many of us in contention for the Italy shirt, Lippi already has his ideas on his squad. I hope to go, he knows me well," said Toni. "I've had some good games and I've got my form back. If I do go it will be a dream, otherwise I'll still be supporting Italy."
As for his club future, Toni admitted he doesn't know where he will be playing next season.
He has made it clear he would like to stay in Rome and reiterated that as long as Luis van Gaal is the Bayern coach, he cannot see a future in Bavaria.
"I have to think about finishing the last three games on a high. I've still got a contract with Bayern, my relationship with the club is very good but if van Gaal stays it will be difficult for me to do so," he said.
"We'll get together around a table and decide what's best for everyone. They helped me a lot in coming to Rome and I have to thank them for that."
