What is Italy's chances of winning?

Maybe a 1/8 chance, they will surrently make it out of Group E with the terrible U.S. They have one of the best goalkeepers in the world in Gigi Buffon and have a lot of talented strikers like Totti, Toni, and Del Piero. Good defense with Cannavaro, Nesta and Zaccardo but this team is pretty much even with others in Europe so it comes down to heart.

italy -\n\ngood - so many . great defence , great goalie , great gameplan , great coach , attacking gameplay , good defence , italy can still win if their major player (s) are missing.\n\nbad- too less . sometimes their forward line seems a buit week . they give the other teams chances to dominate over them . sometimes they get pressurized .\n\ngood - balanced and nice team , good and young players . nice attacking forward line , have very talented players who have a great futuire ahead .\n\nbad - defence is a major - point for them , just in the game against greece , sometimes they were not agressive , they gave chances to the other team very easiy.\n\nthanks .

If Italy plays to potential then they can win against anybody.  Remember the last time they Played Brazil they took it to shoot out.  If Baggio didn't kick it to the moon then Brazil and Italy would both have 4 cups to their name.  They have some excellent guys on offence and still a killer defence.  The 4-3-3 formation puts an emphasis on striking.  If Toni can get it going they will kick ass.\n\nRemember that Italy seems only to play to the skill of their opponents.  They always have squeeked by whomever they were playing whether Germany or Saudi Arabia.  They typically turn it up a notch when they have to.\n\nThe scandal will only help them - they have something to prove.  Remember also that Paolo Rossi had baggage back in '82.

2 teams advance, and the way we looked today it's gonna be tough beating Italy on Saturday.  But yes, mathematically we still have a chance.

Nice choice with italy. I've always had a soft spot for them and would want them to do well. I'm for brazil and am pretty satisfied with them as well. That is a good question though, I'm interested to see the answers

I fear, not a lot.  This isn't the best Italian team they have ever had but I think enough to push the Italians through.     With ease ?  NO WAY... the Americans will give them hell... and with a bit of luck they cjould even win !!!

Italy will win the whole thing so if you think that the Aussies are going to knock out the Azzuries than you still have a lot to learn about soccer. The italians are going to face the Germans in the semi finals and they will play against Brasil in the final.

I believe that Italy is the BEST team, has the BEST defense, BEST goalkeeper and if they don't win, then the games are being fixed behind the scenes. This will be especially true if Germany ends up winning! Final ought to be Italy vs. Portugal. With Italy at the Helm on Sunday \n\nNow, Juventina, can you please explain how "In Bocco al Lupo" is used? I think it means snake in the mouth, but it is used as an idiom in Italian meaning what? To answer you can put it in your details-mille grazie!  Forza Italia!

Italy 3-0. Its pretty obvious Italy is going to win, but by how much? This is just a wild (and probably wrong) guess.

The current Italian Football scandal is another form of deterrent to all those guys, like many of you out there, who are making predictions and trying to look cool in the eyes of your mates.\nTo me the current situation reminds me very much of the turmoil Italy had prior to their winning campaign back in '82. At the time the paparazzi were going berserk and the media in general was getting down Bearzot's throt in his choice of players, even the unknown Paolo Rossi had no chance to get a place in the starting line-up.\nAll of that created the winning feeling & will to survive the experience providing the Italian squad with extra inner strength, which is synonym of the Italian fighting spirit. The rest is History with them winning the 3rd world cup.\n2006 seems to have the same unsettling atmosphere, which if carefully analysed can only be translated into a highly positive charging energy.\nSurely the favourites, such as Brazil and Czech Republic, will have a very good run for our money, but to win the world cup you need more then a great team full of outstanding players, you need co-hesion and fighting spirit that will make you want to "fight like a lion and sting like a bee".\nItaly has 23 great players, like any of the 32 final nations, but something else will differentiate them from the others and that would be: Passion for the game and anger for what is happening back home.\nDon't be surprised if Italy will come out of 2006 experience in a very happy mode.

yes..i'm also an italy fan since young..but too bad, Materazzi will miss the next match.but no worries,coz italy's defence still have nesta and cannavaro..and they have the world's most expensive keeper,buffon around..but what i'm worried is that will they win it big or win it dirty??

I like the guy who said they'll win in vomiting, he must have seen the English on a friday night.\nI am Italian but it looks like France might win as they seem to be the best team...\nstill, Go Italy! We won't be bitter if you don't make it, just do your best!
