Lippi will be hoping his new-look side don’t freeze on the big night - the temperature for tonight’s match, which is live on Bravo at 8pm, is predicted to plummet to as low as -10 degrees centigrade. Italy probable: Abbiati; Zaccardo, Barzagli, Materazzi, Grosso; Barone, Pirlo, De Rossi...

totally off topic does anyone know if emerson played the whole match for brazil against the uae and is he due to start in their second friendly just found out that brazil second friendly was cancelled but will be played next year instead. good leadt emerson should be well recovered from his...

i think him and drogba will just leave the field leaving it 10 v 10 and have a fight to the death outside the tunnel.

be nice if pirlo and gilardino picked up slight knocks that ruled them out for the weekend. hope abbiatti keeps a clean sheet although the ivory coast are not the bad drogba will be a handfull for matterazzi

my team prediction was spot on for the dutch game, so now on to the ivory coast. i think lippi will go with abbiatti/amelia zaccardo Barzagli matterazzi oddo de rossi barone diana iaquinta toni Dp/gila

im going on holiday for a few days so heres my prediction, a bit early before the starting teams are named. holland 1 italy 2 van persie toni Dp

as i posted earlier i expect liipi to start with his precieved strongest 11 available at the moment against holland and make 9 or 10 changes to the starting 11 against the ivory coast

i also think what liipi is doing is good he is in affect trying to have two quality players for ever position and the only way to bring forward the development of the reserve players is to play them in matches, so they will be ready if called upon in the world cup and the italian starting 11 as...

well if the played a few decent teams they might see how their defense is holding up. i honestly beleive they will not win the world cup this year

van nistelrooy is out of the dutch squad. off topic why do brazil never play any friendlies against other world cup contenders, no offense but how much can they learn from playing U.A.E and oman. hope emerson only plays in the first game. also thuram played full 90 mins for france...

id say terlizzi from palermo would have made the squad only he got injured against sampdoria. england v argentina holland v italy should be two good games to watch

de sanctis is indeed better than abbiatti but he has been playing really poor latley, i thought cheillini might have got into the squad. for the match against holland abbiatti zambrotta canna nesta grosso camo pirlo gattuso Del...

i think 5 is the limit now after sven goran ericksoon started playing a different team in the second half of some friendlies with 10 and 11 changes

is perruzzi still carrying his injury, he was subbed at half time against inter. if so abbiatti could start against holland, imagine what a good performance or even a clean sheet against the dutch would do for his confidence. also hope luca toni stays injury free and scores so he will be...
