Ok I don't get Ventura. Rumor is he is going to start Gabbiadini. This guy has never had a break out year. This year he has scored 3 goals for Southhampton.
Mark my words, this is the most important match Italy will play for as long as I can remember. Not qualifying for the world cup would be a national disgrace and would mark a new low for Italian football. In such a match, how the hell could you consider starting someone like Gabbiadini.
Insigne and Immobile should start up front as they are the most in-form forwards.
All of us were puzzled by the selections Conte made at the Euros, but Conte is an excellent motivator which led to the national team out-performing at that tournament. Ventura is not a great motivator so he should pick the best players - pure and simple.
I missed the first leg. However, it is fair to say that Italy were unlucky - 2 or shots off the post and a near miss while we conceded with a rickochet. We can still turn this around, but its going to need a near perfect game. I am afraid that I am not too optimistic. I suspect we will win this but by 2-1 and get knocked out on away goals.

By the way guys, I plan on watching this. Aside from the usual streaming sites, is there a site streaming it on-line where I can use a VPN to get it?
