Pirlo is playing well for Italy. Its a pleasure to watch such a player perform.
Italy should be a few up. Get Balotelli off and they could put it away with Di Natale (is that right?)

not against us it isn't
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on you CRoata!!!
Bad result for us if it stays like this.
Hmmm maybe.
Extremely bad...unless we beat Spain, but it would make the last game much more competitive than if Italy win this.
What it shows is neither Spain or Italy are the teams they are made out to be,
both beatable.
Interesting to note for any conspiracy fans: If it stays like this and Spain beat us, Spain and Croatia could engineer a 2-2 draw that would send them both through.

Italy excellent in the first half but they just stopped playing at half-time. Started settling for the 1-0 from too far out.
It means if we draw tonight we can't finish above Croatia in the final table
5. If Ireland and Spain draw and Croatia and Italy draw:
Croatia 4
Spain 2
Italy 2 (interchangeable with Spain)
Ireland 1
Ireland would then qualify if they beat Italy and Spain dropped points to Croatia. They could not finish higher then Croatia. If Ireland draw with Italy, Italy qualify (unless Spain win).
Spain will be all out to beat Croatia in their last game.

Worst result for us so far. Come on Italy!
I reckon an Italy win is our best bet, given Traps legendary status in Italy. Beat Spain and then play out the worlds least competitive draw v Italy and it's all smiles at the final whistle
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
And we need Croatia to get points off Spain.

Spot on ^^.
Spain will get 3 points max so will Italy meaning we can qualify with 4 points. Simples.
