TEAM NEWS

Slovakia could recall fit-again winger Miroslav Stoch after creating few chances in the defeat to Paraguay. Marek Cech could also return in place of defender Kornel Salata, who admitted to feeling nervous against the Paraguayans.

Italy are also expected to make changes after two disappointing performances, with forwards Antonio Di Natale and Giampaolo Pazzini pressing for a start.

Playmaker Andrea Pirlo is available after returning from a calf injury but is likely to start on the bench.

One booking from suspension: Strba, Durica, Sestak, Weiss (Slovakia); Camoranesi (Italy)

My bets this WC was:

A tenner on Serbia to finish 1-3
A tenner on Italy to win the WC
A tenner on Holland to win the WC

Anyone wanna bet that Holland gets knocked out in the next round?

Tell me about it! Well, the Italy bet was because of a vision I had when I was drunk, Serbia was my dark horse, and with Holland I listened to my heart. At least the Dutch are still in it.

Great big spaces opening up in the Italian defence. Vlad could exploit it if he's brought on.

Well, Italy's been truly horrific this WC and I won't be sad to see them go home. Apart from this game Slovakia have been dire as well and have played true anti football. Here's me hoping for a Kiwi goal ;-)
