Definitely going to watch that match. I hope Italy wakes up and plays the game they're capable of. Same with France. For those two teams to only have one point each (and a chance to go through) is almost unfathomable.
I expect France to come out firing early and often. Without Viera in the game, and with a couple of players close to suspension, they will need to pull out all the stops and let the chips (french fries?) fall where they may. Italy's defense is worn thin right now, and an attacking game could well take Italy right out of the tournament.
Can Donadoni rally his team to beat Les Bleus and avenge their qualifying loss? Can Buffon hold steady? Can Luca Toni become the Azzurri's salvation in this tournament? Can Zambrotta be the Zambrotta who helped secure the 2004 World Cup?
Should be a good match.
