well; if Rino is able to play and shut the Reyna guy off, without getting a red card in the first half, I don't see how the US could be a treat for Italy.
The US have some Ok players, but they're attack seems as a joke to me. Thus Zambrotta will be able to go forward on his flank and hit the Yank's hard and dry. I hope Toni can confirm his good first match and score some goals!
No big team has choked so far (I don't count France as a big team anymore), and I doubt Italy will be the first one.
My prediction: 3-1 (Toni, Toni, Reyna, Del Piero)
