    It wont be Germany. Its never the team that sets the heather on fire in the groups that wins it.

    The thing is, the English pundits are mainly commentating and providing a show for English fans. We can't really be too harsh on them for being biased in favour of England! :56:

    What do you want them to do? Be neutral? The Spanish world cup shows certainly haven't been neutral, and I'd wager it would be the same for television productions in other nations who are taking part.

    If Costa Rica win here they'll probably go through top of the group and play either Ivory Coast or Greece. Great last 16 tie for both sides.

    If Italy lose they'll be third in the group through goals difference. Uruguay would just need the draw next week.

    Which is why it's no longer about doing England a favour it's about themselves now

    There's no chance they'll even be discussing this match afterwards. It will all be about what's next for England :56:

    If it stays as it is Italy will be second so it will be they that need only a draw.

    Italy were never doing it for England anyway it's was always about themselves:56: Why would Italy want to do them a favour they don't give a * about them.


    A put £5 on Italy to win the tournament at 16/1 just before the match. Think a might have jinxed them:smiley-laughing002:

    Italy and Uruguay would both be on 3pts each. So is it not goals scored? Italy would have 2, Uruguay with 3 goals scored.

    Hardly a favor they needed Italy to win to keep them in it and Italy need a win to go through pretty sure England wouldn't have even been mentioned in the Italy dressing room
