Italy wins 2-0

Again, just a guess here. Italy cashing the chalk.

Italy by 1!!!

This is probably the only no-brainer in the round

ali_g · 06-29-06, 06:36 PM

yes but i think we would like to see shevchenko pull something magical... anyways does italy deserve to be were there at now? i know germany/argentina would love for the ukraines to pull this one off

The Italians KNOW Shevchenko and will give him proper respect... Afterall, how long has that guy been scoring 20+ in Italy?

I think he will miss Voronin more than he'd say... Voronin is a workhorse up front and while they havn't been in sync at all (i.e. shooting when they should pass or passing when they should shoot), he's going to get quite a few less opportunities. Voronin was almost a terror in the midfield -but playing upfront - in winning balls and creating opportunities.

Shevchenko can create 2-3 opportunities to score and you can bank on it - but without more help up front? I think they get a leaky goal at best against Italy....
Italian tanks got one gear ---> back
Italy scores 1 in regulation. Maybe 2....
Ukraine gets MAYBE 1 goal in regulation.
That's a BIG maybe.

Ukraine is only down 1-0 30 minutes in so I'm all over them.

It really is boring watching this Italian team, I've never seen so many guys flop and dive over and over.

ali_g · 06-30-06, 03:14 PM

ohh well looks like a 2-0 lead

McBa1n · 06-30-06, 03:44 PM

I'm glad I pushed 4 units on Italy...
I wish I took the regulation line, though.
A win is a win is a win, however
12-5 overall - I'll take it and run.
