I dont think it will be fixed, but if the game is 2-1 and its the 87th minute and a goal opportunity comes for the team thats down, I think the other team will let them score.

It would be awesome for them to hear all over the World that they both knocked out one of the favourites

i think there is a 35-65 % chance that this game is fixed.
Ok, sorry for saying it but then you're a dumbass. The game won't be fixed, it just won't. 35-65% chance!?! It's incredibly hard to "fix" a match at this level, both in terms of co-operation between the managers and actually getting the players to "follow" orders like that. IMO there's 100% no chance of it being fixed. It just isn't done.

That being said, if the score is 2-2 I think both teams would be pretty darn happy with that, and we might not see a lot of attackin going on.

listen. i know it probably wont be fixed. it is hard to "fix" a match at this level we know it. but with what has happened lately and with the amount of power that wants italy out i would not be surprised if it was fixed.

I don't care if the match is fixed, I don't care if Sweden and Denmark trade 2 goals apiece in the first minute of the game then sit down on the pitch and read for the next 89 minutes, The Italians have no one to blame but themselves for not advancing. I really hope the story doesn't become a fixed match between Sweden and Denmark when the story should be an Italian failure.

What has happened lately? And what powers want Italy out? Sweden and Denmark don't care, they just want to go through themselves. They will do so by winning the match. IMO you make no sense here.

Lol, the head to head stats makes it seem like the law of averages is about to catch up on these two teams, and it may just be a draw, considering all their matches from '92 have ended in results.

Well said, Torkel. I think the WC 2002, was unlucky for the Italians, and there defintely seemed to be more to it than met the eye. But this time, even if Denmark and Sweden play out a 2-2 draw, Italy have noone to blame but themselves.

what make us so sure that italy will beat bulgarai?
i dont think italy under trap can beat any team by more than a goal

so take it as it is
italy doesnt deserve to qualify to the second round

Does Spain deserve it? I havent seen an awesome performance by them in the Euro so far, and theyre qualifying right now.

If one of the teams is one up there is now way they will let the other team score cos it's always great to win against one of your neighbour countries.
