	Thanks, looked for "Italy" and didn't see it. See it's in Rest of the World. No harm in having another in here though is there? Edited by AlaskaFox - 13 May 2012 at 7:58pm

	A lot of "un-tested" players might work in our favor. I fully expect Italy to bomb out.

	Buffon Maggio-Chiellini-Bonucci-Criscito Pirlo-Marchisio-De Rossi Cassano Balotelli-Di Natale That is the best squad you could put out IMO and you never know what you'll get with Super Mario. Maggio likes to get forward a lot, he will have to be contained. Pirlo and Marchisio will spray the ball around the pitch while De Rossi will be the one breaking plays up. Di Natale likes to play out wide too and come rushing in.
