That's true, but they have made a tonne of unforced errors in this game and their first touch has been woeful.

If it stays like this, Italy will just look not to get beat. Maybe nick an early goal and then stifle the game. A lot depends on how fit Suarez will be.

Yes they are good. They can at least match the two teams who beat us.
We'll probably hammer them for no apparent reason in the final match once we're out.

Hopefully someone can take out Suarez early, and problem solved. Something England should have done last night.
