Vieri's fierce shot hit Del Piero :)

btw, for those who didn't see it, Sweden made a quick break, the ball was pushed out to the right, and Buffon was going to the left but had to save off-balance, one-handed to his right :thumb:

how dangerous are sweden getting???! or is it under control!?!
No, Sweden are growing into the match now. All because Italy failed to score more goals than one; which is the sole point of criticism I have for Gli Azzurri right now.

But if this is going to continue this way: Sweden could well score!

They're attacking a lot. The ball hasn't entered their half in a the past couple of minutes :(

Del Piero off for Camo. Nice to see Mauro dropped the stupid ponytail.

4-5-1 with Vieri all alone up front

i hope we're not getting defensive!??!
They are, old habit I suppose.

The commentator on Dutch TV said it well: "I can't believe Italy are letting Sweden come now! They managed to keep them pushed back and contained the entire match but somehow, fear has creeped into the Italian team as the Swedes are going forward."

4-4-2 was ideal at this stage...dont like 4-5-1...weve gotta keep the attack running, its becoming defensive. i think next change divaio in for vieri unless 3 subbed?
