Ive lumped on Sweden or a draw. Italy will not be as good 2 games on the trot, although definitely a good move to drop Darmian.
Don't write the Swedes off, they knocked Italy out in the group stage back in 2004. So they can do it. Despite that, I think it'll be a draw or Italy win.
They're nervous as fook about Ibra and it's just such an Italy thing to be brilliant one game then mediocre the next.
This Italy v Sweden game is doing its best to rival or even beat the Germany v Poland game from last night.
It was always going to, a draw suits both teams so a cagey match was always on the cards. if either of them lose they're at real risk again. Plus, as I said earlier - Italy will never play so well 2 games on the trot from the start of a tournament. Italy should get The Pharaoh on.
zlatan done nothing really in both games and yes i know he crossed the ball for donkey clark to score an own goal
Going to go back to my harping on about how poo a 24 team tournament is.......like last night, a point works for both teams with teams seemingly content to play it safe with the 4 best 3rd place finishes as a nice safety net
