I got this from a poster in #### and couldnt have said it better myself.
GERMANY/ITALY
The german team at Wednesday is a joke. 8 players have cancelled their trip to Stuttgart, Völler is depending on the shitty rest, and this isn't looking very good to me. With Ballack, Deisler, Hamann, Frings nearly the complete 1st midfield is out. Metzelder and Friedrich are missing in the defense, Rehmer, Kahn, Hartmann, Bobic, Rahn, Rau - all out of form. Advantages for the German Team: The championchips in Italy haven't started yet and Nesta and Zanetti are not in the italian team. But who cares, Völler would be happy if he had replacements like Trappatoni. I expect Dep Piero and Vieri to be a powerful force in this Italian team, much more powerful than the german attack.
Germany: Kahn - Wörns, Ramelow, Baumann - Freier, Jeremies, Kehl, Schneider, Rahn/Rau – Neuville, Klose
Italy: Buffon – Panucci, Legrottaglie, Cannavaro, Zambrotta – Perrotta, Tachinardi – Camoranesi, Totti, Del Piero - Vieri
TAKE ITALY FOR THE NICE ODDS AT 2.90
1 UNIT TO WIN 1.90
Now I say this...
ENGLAND/CROATIA
I believe there is little value on the sides so I was looking at the total. I don't like playing sides in England games because England tends to substitute their whole team at half time and that just screws everything up. As for the total, with 2 main central defenders out - Woodgate and Campbell. Ivica Olic is their biggest threat and so far england the threat posed by owen, smith, and scholes is self speaking.
TAKE THE OVER 2.5 AT EVENS
1 UNIT TO WIN 0.90
SERBIA/WALES
DRAW AT 3.20
I think a draw is on the cards, worth a shot.
0.50 UNITS TO WIN 1.10
3-3
-0.28
