Agreed BUT...

Czechs will probably go out BUT fair play to them, if were missing our 3 main strikers (ie. Rooney, Owen and Crouch) we would badly struggle as well.. .where are the Czechs gonna get the goals from save putting Nedved and Rosicky up front?

Just can't see them managing to score enough to stay in and I can't see a draw being enough...

IMO of course :look:

Possibley but I think teams that have just been hammered are the worst teams to play because they're more determined to try harder to put it right, Czech Rep will be tough opposition against Italy, probably be the best game of the tournament so far.

OK.

Looks like it could be me v you in the second round eh Jizinho :lol: :o :| :(

Yes because if you draw with the Czechs and say Ghana beat USA it will look like this...

1 Ghana 6
2 Italy 5
3 Czechs 4
4 USA 1

# Team..........................P W D L Pts

1 Italy............................ 2 1 1 0 ...4
2 Czech Republic ............2 1 0 1 ...3
3 Ghana .........................2 1 0 1 ...3
4 USA .............................2 0 1 1 ...1


Am i right in thinking Italy need one point to advance, regardless of other results. However that will mean we would finish second if Ghana win?

If Italy win against Czech, we qualify top?
