Quarter-Final: Germany vs Italy - (2/7/16) KO 8pm, BBC1/HD
8 of 17
Just on that kick off rule change.......I wonder who'll be the first team to come up with some new tactic to take advantage of it
I'm thinking of something copied from rugby or gridiron of having forward runners or wide receivers coming from behind and timing the forward kick as they are just getting to the half way line .........they might have momentum to got 20-30 yards into the opposition half before the ball lands and if you had 3 or 4 runners it could cause havoc in the defense
(I'm assuming that there's no rule that players have to stand still prior to kick off......
........but I'm not sure on that)

Italy is the one team I'd back to beat Germany on pens.

Do you know, I was just thinking about that.
I expect some of the Germans might as well if we get down to those final few minutes with no score.
(Particularly Schweinsteiger, who played in that match.)

Conte has enough energy to take one.

I think I agree.
I still want Italy to win though.
