Tonight NZ time anyway.

While I hope New Zealand will put up a good fight, I can see Italy giving them a spanking tonight.

Hope Im wrong mind.

I can see it ending up 3,4,5-0 ... some think Italy didn't do very well in their opening game but I think they looked better than I thought they would. New Zealand has done fantastic to get here, done great to get a point - but tonight the vast gulf in class will see Italy win comfortably.
N Z is the weakest team in this WC, there is no doubt about that in my mind.

Hope Italy stuff them - Gilardino and Iaquinta in my fantasy team.

FIFA rankings say that's not the case.

I have di Natale as the WC leading goal scorer (75x) so I hope he starts and does a 'Higuain'

Korea DPR and South Africa is worse according to their ranking, yes. But I'd back the both of them against N Z.
