Coach Prandelli might want to neutralize our numerical advantage in the Midifeld by having Rossi play deeper. This is where our highline would help. if Guiseppe Rossi is more forward than usual, our defence line should play deep. If Rossi goes deep, then our defence line should go high, leaving Balotelli in an offside position, restricting Pirlo and Montolivio the chance of setting Balotelli free with a through pass.

Finally, Coach Keshi being a defence marshall himself should make sure our defence works with coherency and communication with themselves and Enyeama. This Europeans no how to read disorganization and capitalize on it.
A mistake could live Balotelli onside or a careless overlap from Ambrose or Echiejile could live a gap for Diamanti, Ceri or Abate to penetrate from. Defence organization is key.

Coach Prandeli is taking this game seriously. That is he is playing the African champions.He is bringing an all star team and is coming with his A Game. I hope Coach Keshi is ready too.

Yeah, he probably has an Italian mom, and was born in Italy

No. Both parents are Nigerians. He was born in Italy and has been playing his professional football there. He just signed for Juventus this summer, but was with Torino before. Quite a gentle guy.

It is good that the Italians respect us to the extent of naming their all-star team against us; unlike what the English did to Ghana 2 years ago.

italy would win on paper but nigeria would win on the field, it is high time we stop under-rating nigeria, I once did but now I wouldn't under-rate them again. Nigeria would beat italy

I believe Pirlo will cause more harm,he's got. a superb ability to hold possession of the ball,I hope our midfield is up to the task.Ethiopia is the main threat here,not Italy.
