That leaves Cannavaro free to look towards tomorrow's meeting with Cyprus, Italy's first game since securing their place in South Africa with a 2-2 against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin.
A drugs ban at this stage in the 36-year-old's career might have led him into early retirement, but now he knows exactly how he wants to go out.
"If you want to get rid of me, let me raise that cup," Cannavaro said. "To win back the World Cup would be a miracle."
The tournament may be nine months away, but Cannavaro is already sizing up the competition.
