    Prandelli will go with a 4-3-3- trident attack. Rain is forecast for the game as usual which could even out the playing field.

    I say 2-0 for the good guys :)

    Seeing pepe in the lineup over Rossi just makes for this

    what does rossi have to do to become the main player on this NT?? :rolleyes:

    He's by far italy's best player, im going to write this one of just cuz its northern ireland but for more serious games, he needs to be there most of the game.

    Pirlo and Cassano are better than Rossi. Rossi is a great player and he could us him as a sub.

    Giuseppe Rossi is not Italy's best player.

    He is promising though. He deserves to play more. Prandelli should start Rossi over Pepe.

    Yeah, Rossi may not be Italy's best... but Pepe needs to sit out in the seats... and far away from the field.

    Rossi has done a lot for his club.

    Pepe... has... done... um. Nada. I think he scored one goal for juve so far (wow!)... and missed so many sitters I lost count.

    2-0 Italy I believe, need to control the game form the start. We killed N. Ireland with a C team last year.. much different circumstances, but don't let them get confidence.

    He's Prandelli's Iaquinta. Just like Lippi had his mancrush on Iaquinta, Prandelli has it on Pepe! True story!

    I switched from Blackberry to Droid a few weeks ago and there's no turning back. Flash on the Droid X works well enough... watching the match now with decent speed.
