A long as he starts italy will crush Croatia. He is the missing peace in Prandelli's plans. Di Natale, Pirlo, Buffon and Chiellini will make Italy proud.
Forza squadra azzuri!!

Very hard game for Italy. Croatia are a hard team to beat. Still should make it, though.

Croatia's strikers gonna give Italy a hard time.
If Modric plays well, I can see Croatia taking something off Italy.

Modric isn't getting past DDR 
Also I hear Modric has a tendency of disappearing in big games

Modric? he's all fine and dandy against scrubs like Glen Whelan but he's come against the Don of regista's in Pirlo
Modric will sleep with the fishes

- Spoiler:
- While Pirlo provides a through ball that looks like a flying fish right on to Super Mario's foot

Underestimating Modric again...typical Mole 
I was actually thinking about trying to use Godric as an adjective, i.e. "That through ball by Pirlo was simply Godric"
The idea and use of it is correct, it just doesn't have the right ring to it.
Anyway, Modric to Godric the Italian midfield.

Croatia 3 goals vs Ireland were defensive mistakes & a very unlucky goal keeper...
doubt they will have the same luck vs Italy...
Also, Marchisio is gonna eat Modric alive...haha!

After today, I think I may have to start supporting my second favorite national team. I remember how we demolished Italy in the last Euros, what a change.

I kinda feel this will be a really tough match. Must win for Italy though.

I can see it going two ways:
1) an easy match, where Italy rolls over Croatia with ease, something like 2 goals in the beginning and holding onto that.
2) a tough match, that will become a series of counter-attacks in both ways by the end

must win game for Italy.
Giaccherini was weak on the left for Italy against Spain, i hope Prandelli doesn't play him again. Di Natale is the answer to Prandelli's problems.

Must win for Italy. I think the 3-5-2 setup will work best. An attacking pair of Cassano-Di Natale would work with Balotelli coming on at the hour mark.

Hoping for a Croatia win because of a bet of mine (predicted Croatia to reach the semis), but I was impressed by Italy. A huge game, this.

Italy's offside trap is pretty poor imo
Croatia have three playmakers and two strikers who make runs in behind the defence. Italy might have a hard time.

Call me stupid but I'd start with Balo instead of Di Natale.. Somehow I feel this could be his breakthrough game in the NT. If not, Di Natale will be awesome for an impact sub.
Also I hope Giach will not be playing, he was pretty much our weakest link sadly.

Yeah, I can't make my mind up about which striker to start either. One thing is for sure, if Balo fails this game, he can expect to be benched v Ireland.
