Quote:an Italy on the brink of elimination could be verrrrry dangerous.I am probably the only Dutchman who is not convinced that his team played a very good match; I think it was less a Dutch victory than an Italian defeat. The Italian team was too old (average age over 32 years!), and perhaps Mr Berlusconi was right when he said that in the Italian competition, too many foreigners are playing, which makes it very difficult to create a national team, as all those players come from all over Europe. I am not optimistic about Italy's chances - which is hard to admit for an A.S. Roma fan like me.
Still, let's see what happens Friday. If Italy beats Rumania and France beats Holland, which is by no means excluded, nothing has been settled in Group C.
