Italy remain at the Top of Group B World Cup 2014 Qualifiers


Italy successfully to keep their position in the top of Group B in World Cup 2014 Qualifiers. Playing at San Siro italy managed to defeat Denmark 3-1, this was a good winning for Italy since they were played with ten men. Pablo Osvaldo was sent off after he was condemned by the referee for punching Denmark player, a little harsh decision in my personal opinion.

Prandelli's team was playing very well in the match much better then their previous match, they played calm and well organized. The only thing that should noted was the Offensive line, Osvaldo and Balotelli who was playing that night seems did not suit one another.

Italy Denmark World Cup Qualifier

Italy will host Denmark at San Siro on Tuesday 16 October in World Cup 2014 Qualifier match. This will going to be the real test for Prandelli's squad, eventhough italy still not defeated in three previous game and sit in the top position of group B, many side critize Italy's performance. On their previous games against Bulgaria, Malta and Armenia, Italy seems to overwhelmed by those team especially against Bulgaria and Armenia. However with their experience they securing seven points from three matches.


Facing Denmark it a test for Italy because Denmark is seen as stronger team than all previous Italy's opponent, if they are win Prandelli squad can silence media criticism towards them, but if otherwise it is a serious home work for Prandelli.

El Shaarawy - Player Profile

This season surely not a good season for Milan fans, their vital and veteran players left the club, and now they are still struggling in middle standings at 11th position in Serie A.
