The Azzuri, with new coach Prandelli at the helm, are anticipated to parade a new crop of youngsters including the likes of Balotelli, Bonucci, Ranoccia and Quagliarela.
Ivory Coast will also be without their World Cup coach Eriksson, but have assembled a strong squad. Yaya and Kolo Toure, Kalou and Drogba are all expected.

Very difficult pick but from here on we should have more clear picture what´s going on with Italy national team. In sept. I´m lucky enough to see them play at the stadium in Euro Champs Qualification round.

will give the Coast +1/4 a shot, may just be a tie.
but the Italians are racist enough to want to destroy these africans, so i don't know...
Firstly Drogba will miss this match . Yeah can't be good for Ivory Coast.
Italy is gonna control midfield they have the strength and great technical ability. As many of you mentioned Italy brought youngsters and a new coach Prandelli.
Players will be out to impress the new man ,and some of these players have a serious point to prove.For many of them this game is a try out to be on Italian team . Cassano should of made this team 4-5 years ago so Balotelli.Cassano used to be on Italian squad and played great with Totti .
I don't think this game will be competitive . Italians will take Ivory Coast a part.
We all know how African teams did in WC . I even made trend before WC not to bet on them or you will lose your shirt .
odds for Italy to win above even . That is crazy .
Cheers GL.

I hate that Black fukk on the Italian side. I bet the whole Italian team hates him. Would like to see if his team even touches him when he scores.

italy is in a big slump
it was a disappointing display today, although cassano had some nice flicks
hopefully prandelli can build a team that can be successful again
it won't be easy
first step: call up ROSINA -_- although italy has a gread midfielder in de rossi, their midfield sucks!!
