Sweden +.5

Anyone getting the feeling Italy has a little too much hype going into this one against ibra?

With the decent odds, they are likely the public bet of the day. I say draw.

I'm not seeing the logic here. Sweden looked horrible against an Irish team that isn't terribly intimidating. Sweden may in fact be the worst-looking side at the tournament so far while Italy dispatched Belgium comfortably.

Italy -106 is so damned tempting right now. Only thing holding me back is it seems too good to be true.

Unlike the 1st game, Italy will be the favs this time where they will have to break Sweden down. We saw how things can be played out in the game between Ukraine and NIR yesterday when the roles are reversed. Ukraine was pretty good against Germany but totally toothless against NIR.

Good luck whichever way you go.

Good points.

Sweden may have to open up a bit and not play for the draw because 2pts is not very comfortable heading into a final match against Belgium.

Leaning Italy ML buy I'm going to review the line in a few hours

italy plays great D and it will be very hard for sweden to score... im picturing it as italy gets one goal at some point, then stays 1-0 for awhile then sweden opens up in 80th minute because they need points (really they need a win) or they're out, and italy gets one more towards end of game... got money on italy wins and sweden scoreless +175 and small bet on final score 2-0 italy +695. zlatan is good but italy D is better.

styles boys...belgium did not impose any character in that game...nothing...and managed to keep the game 1-0 almost throughout...sweden will prove to be a better match for italy as the opportunity to make the last 16 at the expense of belgium will be too big to pass up...ibra also scored over 100 serie A goals in his career watch for him to pick it up from the opener

[lonnloe]

It's going to be a low scoring game. Italy play a very defensive game and look for a quick counter without committing too many players.

With Italy going +110 I think I've been swayed to take them ml

Textbook Italian soccer. Thanks for the sway
