The Italy V Croatia Thread!!!!

**NeverFeltBetter** · 14/06/2012, 4:57 PM

Italy should be a few up. Get Balotelli off and they could put it away with Di Natale (is that right?)

**seanfhear** · 14/06/2012, 4:57 PM

Pirlo is playing well for Italy. Its a pleasure to watch such a player perform.

**tricky_colour** · 14/06/2012, 5:22 PM

not against us it isn't

**tricky_colour** · 14/06/2012, 5:28 PM

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on you CRoata!!!

Bad result for us if it stays like this.

**tricky_colour** · 14/06/2012, 5:34 PM

Hmmm maybe.

**irishultra** · 14/06/2012, 5:34 PM

Extremely bad...unless we beat Spain, but it would make the last game much more competitive than if Italy win this.

**tricky_colour** · 14/06/2012, 5:35 PM

What it shows is neither Spain or Italy are the teams they are made out to be,
both beatable.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 14/06/2012, 5:37 PM

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.

**Maroon 7** · 14/06/2012, 5:37 PM

Italy excellent in the first half but they just stopped playing at half-time. Started settling for the 1-0 from too far out.

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!

**backstothewall** · 14/06/2012, 5:42 PM

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

Why ?

Croatia will still need a result against Spain - who will only have 2pts - thats if we are still in with a shout.

It means unless we win tonight we can't finish above Croatia which we could have if Italy won tonight.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 14/06/2012, 5:51 PM

And we need Croatia to get points off Spain.

Because it means we have to win tonight. An Italy win would have left us in with a chance with a draw against Spain.

**eekers** · 14/06/2012, 6:02 PM

If we draw with Spain, beat Italy and Croatia and Spain draw we'll go through.
Still there's no chance of the first 2 of those happening.
If Spain beat Croatia we need to hammer Italy to get our gd ahead of Croatia.

**the 12 th man** · 14/06/2012, 6:31 PM

Spot on ^^.

**tricky_colour** · 14/06/2012, 6:33 PM

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