Cassano + Di Natale for the next match.

Agreed.


Told you I'd make Italy play well.

We should've made some bets.

He shouldn't be on the internet then.

He's a risk, but he has a tendency to cause problems for defenders.

But is it really worth it at this stage? He has a tendency to fail and cost his team in the process, and there isn't any room for that level of failure. Whereas Cassano has had a great season in-spite of his illness.

True. However in my opinion Balotelli's occasional flashes of genius could very well tip the scale in Italy's favour. Put him together with someone who's movements are very good, and can finish his chances and that might just make a decisive difference.

Croatia's line-up: Pletikosa; Srna, Corluka, Schildenfeld, Strinić; Perišić, Vukojević, Modrić, Rakitić; Mandžukić, Jelavić

come on Croatia now, I hope they destroy Ireland.

Exactly.

Ireland's line-up: Given; O'Shea, Dunne, St. Ledger, Ward; Duff, Andrews ,Whelan, McGeady; Keane, Doyle

Still mad?

Come on McGeady, rip them up.

Italy have a real chance of winning this I feel. Great variety of talent in midfield, legendary keeper, Di Natale, Chiellini; they can match up to Spain, they can probably match up to any other team in the tournament.

Not that they are favourites, but they aren't underdogs either.

I hoping for a draw in the next match.

yes, I probably wont stop hating on Ireland until Estonia actually reach the Euros or World Cup one day which will maybe happen (if we're very lucky) in like 30 years?

Why does Del Bosque put so much faith in Torres? It's infuriating.

Srna plays RB for Croatia?

Come on Ireland.

What an amazing game De Rossi had, had my doubts on him playing CB even though he had the praise but after that, I see that it's justified, splendid performance.

He plays there for Shakthar too.

Well now I know. Why is he listed as a midfielder in the fantasy league. He costs 7 too!

Strong Carragher.

Didn't realise it was Pirlo who got the assist...What a player

Roy Keane always looks like he going to murder Chiles. One day, one day.

It was a lovely assist too.

Should have known it was him with that pass

Excited for the Ireland game, all the games I thought would be average have turned out great, hoping for the same now.

He can play RM just as effectively as he's better going forward than defending, should be another good game going for a Croatia win.

Chiles had to bring up the French Open didn't he.

Why does Kuled always try to prove he's a Serie A expert with all the shit he writes?

I know, I was just answering Jorlung's question. Srna is pretty underrated defensively, everytime I watched Shakhtar last season he was sound there.
