I expect a very tough and compact Ireland against Italy. It definitely won't be an easy match.

Yeah, not with Trap there. He always gives Italy trouble. Ireland have been collapsing because they are conceding early goals in halves all the time, they are killing themselves. If Italy don't score early and keep wasting chances then it becomes a tight game and then Italy's natural complacency becomes an issue.

Although I can't see Croatia scoring two goals against Spain, so there is still hope.

First Italy is pretty much knocked out of the tournament, then my bike is stolen. Will my house catch fire later?

Prandelli hasn't got a true goal scorer in his squad who can finish some of the chances they had. That's his biggest mistake. Di Natale is the only close to that.

Wot? When's the last time where Italy played in a Euro or WC and didn't have a leading scorer with only one goal?

 

[Trequartista]

The last time Italy had a proper goalscorer was in 2002. Alas, there are no strikers of Vieri's caliber in the Italian peninsula nowadays.

Quag sucks...

My dear Suns, I hope objectivity 'dawns' on you at some point in your parallel universe.

Don't get me wrong baggio, I think you're a good poster but the whole infatuation with the mediocre Quag always gets to me.

Luca Toni in 2006 was a proper goalscorer

 

[baggio]

I'm not getting you wrong. Just trying to understand how your indifference towards a player you don't really like, almost sounds like hate. What has he ever done to you for you to believe, he isn't good enough to be at The Euros? The guy is easily in the top 6-7 strikers Italy has at the moment. Give him this season at Juve, and I'm sure you'll change your mind. But promise to be objective and open to changing your opinion.

I just dont see Italy beating Ireland. My prediction is 1-1, and I think Ireland will score first.

I really really want to see another Due Due

He wasn't very good with the azzurri though.

Nzoric: "They criticized Lippi for leaving the phenomena Cassano and Balotelli out of the world cup...Here they are these world class players!!!!"

criticize lippi for not taking those 2 great players to the worldcup....well here are the great players

 

[dann10]

i smell another euro 2004 "screwjob" coming

 

[delpiero4life]

Cassano was amazing in the first half.. Pepe? Are we honestly going to start saying that pepe would have maid a difference?

 

[Suns]

Giovinco - Di Natale - Balotelli

For the goals against Ireland.

 

[Stevie]

I think they should go with

Giovinco - Di Natale - Cassano
as the Irish are big and strong enough to deal with a a un-interested Balotelli but tricky more skillful players like Gio and Cassano willl cause us a lot of problems.

If italy play that formation they will win by something like 2-0. If they dont i see the score being something like 1-1 or 0-0. Also for Italy's sake they should not play Montolivo and play Chiellini at LB with Barzaglie replaceing Giach and playing in the centre.
