Black on Blue tonight, with a fairly forgone conclusion, but will Italy put up a fight or give a HT scare? Find out later!

Its tough, to get momentum from the ABs when they're in this mood you have to cause the game momentum to cease. There's a reason France, SA etc draw games out as long as possible against the ABs. Stop/start takes away their rhythm and if you can back that up by milking penalties they start to rush things when they do have ball in hand.
