Gray i was wondering; what time is it in Australia?

 

[Art^]

Wow what a detail by Del Piero :LOL: He almost scoed on a lob

 

[Stu]

Sweden applying more pressure now.

 

[gray]

It's 6:00am in Australia

It would've been easier for him to just slot it in, a bit ambitious from Alex

 

[Stu]

Jonson on for Wilhelmass

 

[Art^]

WHAT!!! Cassano are replaced by Fiore. I guess that Trap just want to seal this home, and Cassano also has a yellow card

 

[gray]

Bad decision, Cassano's been one of our best players

I guess that means we'll be playing 4-4-1-1, with Del Piero sitting behind Vieri

 

[Stu]

Damn you, Trap: Fiore in for Cassano

 

[Stu]

Fiore nutmegs a Swede defender and is impeded. Free kick. Wasted.

Corner to Sweden. Cleared.

 

[Art^]

Rino out
Favalli in

I wonder if zambo is midfield now?

 

[The Arif]

italy MUST win this one!!!

Go Azzurri

 

[gray]

Gattuso's hit the deck and he's not getting back up. Yellow card Linderoth. Cassano doesn't look at ease on the bench, he's standing up looking very anxious.

Favalli in for Gattuso.

Come on guys, 15 more minutes :nervous:

 

[Stu]

Gattuso down hurt because of a Linderoth challenge. The Swede goes into the books.

 

[Art^]

Allbäck is comming on instead of a defender... Thats a very offensive substitution!!! Sweden are now playing with 4 VERY attacking players


FANTASTIC SAVE BY BUFFON!

FANTASTIC SAVE BY BUFFON.

My heart just skipped a beat

 

[Sarah_old]

Well this is great stuff from Italy! Good forward play, nicely flowing combinations, good usage of the flanks. Really the type of thing a Dutchman can appreciate. Bravo! :thumb:

Concerning that, the Dutch commentator said the following: "Italy are really playing well tonight, the side that faced Denmark several days ago looked nothing like this team. This is a real unit, not just Totti plus 10 others!"

And ain't that the truth

Nice to see Del Piero is an important player - really the key in attack!
