Yeah i agree, i think watching the Czechs and the Italians play on Saturday will give us a better idea of what might happen when they meet, but i'll tell you this..it will be one hell of a game

 

[Stephan]

well, the final game. all to play, its gona be a very dramatic day for 2 teams in group e. and one is possible/probably european team. if not both will have a dramatic day.

 

[giovanotti]

I think that we missed our chance and that it is over....to bad!

 

[Stephan]

ok guys, let me post something from czechs fan to know about our opponent situation:

We're without Ujfalusi, Baros, Koller and Lokvenc.

I'd opt for something like this :

-------------Heinz-------------
-----Nedved-------------------
--------------Rosicky----------
Plasil------------------Poborsky
-----------Galasek-------------
Janku--Rozehnal--??---Grygera
------------Cech-------------

Too bad we'll have no tall man in front then (like Koller, Lokvenc). And I doubt whether Heinz can carry the attack. He's more like a support striker or even a midfield player.

?? could be anybody. It's definitely gonna be a weakness imo. Rozehnal should play on Toni. He's tall. Totti will be in Galasek's pocket and hopefully Gilardino will have a bad day.

I'm still hoping for some Koller or Baros miracle. Baros alone in front would be fine too. He can hold the ball and wait for the upcoming men ...

 

[giovanotti]

What he wanted to say...that he want some Koller miracle???

It is not needed,if czechs have a good day,they can enormously harm us with some long shots.....no need to mention that Roma ,for example, play some 10 games this season without a classic attacker ,and they won all of them.

 

[Stephan]

no, he means with miracle that koller would somehow recover from injury.

considering who got sent off today, how roma even managed that

 

[giovanotti]

I know that,Stephan...but I wanted to say that he may not be needed.

 

[Stephan]

this game will most probably be won in midfield so....

buffon better train catching long shots.

 

[Stephan]

but still we saw a setback, czechs did miss koller yesterday.

 

[giovanotti]

"-1000 guy" somehow did it.

 

[giovanotti]

I think that they had a "minus day"!
They won't repeat such performance against us.

 

[Stephan]

well, koller is so strong, look how easy his goal seemed against usa, his header. his very important player. in the air one of the best.

Agreed,he is an important player!

 

[china man]

Italy will lost!!!

 

[giovanotti]

Anyhow,here is the question:

I'm thinking about 2 possibilities in our defence

1) Zambrotta----Cannavaro---Nesta---Oddo

2) Grosso---Cannavaro---Nesta--Zambrotta

which one do you support???

 

[Stephan]

the results speak for italy progress, lippis men havent lost a game for a very long time.

then again eventually one day this will change, will that day be 22june

 

[ZhiXin]

Zambrotta----Cannavaro---Nesta---Oddo anytime of the day. The 2 Palermo men have proved to be a liability.

Actually I feel that Lippi should have brought Panucci along, after all he has really been performing this season and any reason to leave him out is just silly. At least his experience will help him do well compared to Zaccardo

Well back to this game, Groups E games r the toughest of the group, and I'm sure these 3 points will be very hard earned. Fighting against Czech Republic will be the toughest task among all, since the Czechs r very strong in the midfield which boasts the likes of Nedved, Rosicky, Poborsky, with Galasek as the DM. This game will definitely be won in midfield, where one who losts the ball will be in deep trouble.

But the good thing is, both Koller and Baros r injured, so Czech has a shortage of strikers, and Ufjaulsi is suspended and will be replaced by a less competent defender. This is the type of game where Lippi has to really work hard and battle all the end to win the top of the group, otherwise Italy will be in serious trouble after that.

Ob the other hand, they r in the Group of Death, so many things can happen.
