The first BIG match! Clearly the one people are most looking forward to, from this first round of the group stage. Both teams come from am half-assed qualifying stage, as neither won their group (by coincidence to Romania and France, who they will need to face again now in the final stage) - but both are considered as top class sides.
Italy are the current world champions but are lacking important players such as Totti and the centre-backs duo of Cannavaro and Nesta, while Netherlands (Holland) has a weird problem with scoring goals, since they have tons of good offensive players but cannot give good use to them.
Netherlands should attack more tomorrow - dunno if that will translate into more goals than their opponent. |

italy won their qualification group.
I'm not going to try and call this one, but holland were very wasteful against wales in their last game and if they continue like that then they will find it difficult in such a tight group. |

Although I'd love to see Italy losing... I must agree with you. |

| I predict a cagey game- neither team wants to lose it. This group will be decided on very narrow margins, unless Romania pull off a surprise and beat one of the big three, who will then have to try and force a win in another game. I can see it being 1-0, but I can't call who will get it. |
