Italy v Croatia 17:00

[editor]

This could be a tight one, but I'm going for Croatia.

 

[Badgers]

I think a draw but want Croatia to do it. Can't watch sadly but will catch the first half on the radio.

 

[CyberRose]

I'm going for Italy. Think they played well against Spain (altho saying that Spain did play Torres for part of that match)

 

[twistedAM]

Forza Mario. That's if he's playing. Di Natale staked a good claim against the rollers.

 

[JimW]

Italy for me too, also thought they looked decent against Spain showing the sort of style that should cope with what Croatia can throw at them.

 

[Teaboy]

Agree with those backing Italy, they more then matched Spain and I was surprised at how positevly they played. I'm not sure about Croatia yet as Ireland were woeful in the last match.

 

[CyberRose]

Get on with it!

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Italy need to win, so they'll deffo come out the attacking force.

Italy for the win.

Croatia 1:0 in an ill tempered match

 

[sunny jim]

Italy havent beaten Croatia since the break up of Yugoslavia, but Im still going for an Italian win. 2-1 I reckon.

Croatia 1:0 in an ill tempered match

Actually the ill tempered thing might be a good call. I believe these two are not the best of neighbours.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Right, I've got half an hour of this before I go home, then a mad dash to get back in time for the Ireland match.

Cant believe mario's been given another start

Do they have much else?

 

[JimW]

Bright start from Italy.

 

[Badgers]

How many bookings?

5 I think.

 

[Onket]

What's happening? I'm still at work.

I hope Croatia kick their arses.

 

[Teaboy]

Its a bit end to end at the moment with Ballotelli seeing a lot of the ball. Acab is in charge so there will either be no bookings or 15.

 

[gabi]

Do they have much else?

You would've thought so.. di natale's a bit old to start but surely theres other italian strikers out there they could've brought

 

[Badgers]

Decent opportunity for Italy
Good chance for Croatia
Howard Webb won't have that
Croatia tidy up
Italy pressure early on
Strong challenge
That sort of thing

 

[gabi]

he's so fucking slow on the ball

No, everybody else has been implicated in match fixing.

 

[editor]

Pretty lively game, this.

 

[twistedAM]

He was pretty quick at Old Toilet.

 

[Badgers]

Good game for half hour 0-0

 

[friedaweed]

Don't know who the fuck my employers think they are expecting me to stay in work until 5 pm during a European sporting event. CUNZ

Have I missed much? Hows Rod the Plod doing?

 

[JimW]

Agree- def Italy better start but Croats settled into it. Italy still with edge I reckon

Are your employers Welsh?

Great goalkeeping.
