Italy are unchanged from the Spain game.

 

[Misfit]

Should be a good game. See Italy winning this one though maybe a draw but if a side is going to win...

 

[DuDe]

I'm really not sure which way this one will go.

 

[Mr Pink]

Fancy Italy. Far better defensively than Croatia.

 

[werty]

Italy are unchanged from the Spain game.

Still starting Balotelli?

 

[tobi]

I thought he played well against Spain, messed up that one chance but did a good job for the team.

 

[werty]

I thought he was poor and lost the ball nearly every time he got it.

 

[ShelfSide18]

Did anyone just see the calamity trio of Clattenburg, Atkinson and the crowning turd on the pile, Webb as 3 of the 4 officials.

 

[werty]

Should be a good game. An Italy win will probably be the best results for Ireland...?

 

[tiger666]

Why can they never mention Modric without adding a line about "future uncertain" "much sought after" etc etc

 

[DuDe]

Because they are 'sensation-seeking' wankers?

 

[werty]

Mark Bright is annoying me already.

 

[TaoistMonkey]

Just stuck this on. Fuck me, Man United are 1 up already!

 

[CosmicHotspur]

That was close - Italy looking the tastier team right now.

 

[shaqTHFC]

Marchisio has a great shot from long range. Had a quality one against Spain aswell.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Balotelli is definitely in the mood for scoring today.

 

[DuDe]

Oooh, wondered if it was going to be a pen there.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Or a goal... Croatia creeping back into the game.
