Their battle at euro was 0-0. I think this finishes 2-2. Goals by Pirlo and insigne for Italia.

No, Buffon is out. The replacement should be PSG's Sirigu... i think he's not worse than this old Buffon...

Hahah Massimo joins his German nemeses in some high quality pre-tournament backpedaling to cover his bases. :D

Rooney is one of the few players in the world I truly love, hope he is at his best shape for this WC.

1-1, Sturrige and Immobile.

Italy will play with only a forward and it's Balotelli.

Immobile off the bench maybe in the 2nd half...

Way too much England enthusiasm. Roy Hodgson will break you.

They do all kinds of stuff in front of a midfield of three. A narrow two behind a striker, a wide two behind a striker, or a 1-2. What they don't appear to do is play two prime punte. So my guess is no Immobile and Balotelli together.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.
