georginho_juventusygr Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 [video=youtube;ZKUVTC0KIJE] [video=youtube;EBXr6DK6wns] Italy are contemplating one change for this match, but it's still unknown. Any news from Croatia? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Button Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 the change surely has to be di Natale in for Balotelli? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptista_8 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Cassano and Di Natale up top though? Very short strikeforce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoleman1 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Gutted to be at work for this as it should be a good game I think. Both teams will want to win but I do think Italy will have too much for Croatia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted June 14, 2012 Administrators Share Posted June 14, 2012 Don't think any changes are expected for Italy from what I've read/been told. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niebiescy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Really looking forward to this one so much. May be the most important single game of the group stage (in terms of both participants needing it) considering how bad Ireland are and the fact that Spain would be expected to win the group still. Some other big games at this stage but none between two legitimate semi final candidates where the winner is close to through and loser basically out.

Leppard Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I would love to see Italy lose to Croatia. An Italian friend of mine has been saying that Italy are as good as Spain and Germany etc., so I'd love to see his face if they lose to Croatia.
