Italy appear to be content to absorb the punches and hit Sweden on the exposed soft underbelly

DELPIEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO again........

Cassanooooooooooo, almost! Latcehs onto a ball with two defenders in front and attempts to chip the keeper from 18 yards, but ball is cleared off the line.

Zambrotta booked for a cynical challenge. Italy are just collecting cards like no man;s business.

Between Del Piero and Vieri, Italy shud be at least 3 goals up. But between the two what they did right now was pure class. Vieri sends a sweet pass to Del Piero who has the Swedish keeper and a defender blocking his path to goal but far from the goal line, and he floats the ball over both, but the defender runs back with the ball in flight and clears off the goal bound lob.

KOC, it was Del Piero who tried the chip.

As pa Oliseh said they are playing CATENACHO style of football

The way these Italian defenders read the play is awesome!

Italy can defend maybe chairman can go there to learn tactical awareness

Sweden never equalize?

Cassano off for Fiore.

Looks like Trap is trying to hang on to what he has. Fiore is basically a holding man, in direct contrast to Cassano.

Cannavaro almost heads into his one net!

They're switching from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2

Del Piero and Vieri up top.

Linderoth booked for a clumsy push on GAttuso who goes off for Pavani

Allback in for Edman. Fantastic save by Buffon from Johnsen. Luvly driving move from Larsson who has dropped deep. Laid it wide for Johnsen, but Buffon came up BIG

Best chance so far to Sweden, Larson breaks off from midfield and finds Johnnsen who drives in a low shot to the Buffon's right and the goalie manages to save. Nice play.
