2-0 Italy
Barella and Immobile

I wonder if Barella or Locatelli will start. Veratti has to start when fit, while I love Barella so much, I dont see Mancini dropping Locatelli with that form. But lets see, hope for an easy match for italy.

I think Verratti-Jorginho-Barella is the way to go regardless of Locatelli's form.

The strikers need to wake up, Austria is actually a dangerous team and will be highly motivated to cause an upset. If Italy keeps the pace going, they'll do fine, but it is time for Immobile and co. to start performing.

Yeah you can’t drop Barella. Obvious bias aside, he’s the engine of that midfield.

I think Italy should keep the lineup from the 2nd game. Verratti still isn’t 100% fit.

 

[GoldenRetriever]

In no way should Locatelli be dropped for Verratti

First real test for Italy, don't bottle it guys.

In the US, the match is on ABC @3:00pm EDST.

I was afraid Mancio will start Locatelli, but people here called it and apparently he'll continue using Barella. Good signal imo for Italy that Mancini didn't get carried away.

No Bastoni and no Locatelli, a little disappointed.

I really want to hear Mancini's reasoning for preferring Acerbi over Bastoni this summer.

Listening with my headphones is a pain. One of the commentators keeps breathing really hard and making uncomfortable noises lol.
