Italy v Wales

Hi ya'll ,
Just wondering does anyone know is this game on tele and what channel ? It should be a great game and I hope Wales can get the result they need . Some of their players deserve to appear at a major competition including Sparkie !!

I agree it should be a great game. But I'll be up for Italy. Would much prefer to play Wales than Italy in a potential play off.

Its definitely on BBC. Cant remember if its 1 or 2.

Should be an excellent game and would love to see Wales qualify. Cant see them getting anything though.

Only advantage for Wales is that Seria A only started last weekend and the Italians might not be up to full match fitness yet.

excellent, ireland match followed by the italy v wales match
i want italy to win though, i know i'd prefer to watch them in the championship and someone made a good point about the playoff possibilty

Wales to win they deserve it,they have been playing well.besides they could have a chance as Totti is out due to a hip injury and Vieri injured his knee in training today.

Only problem is that Inzaghi is in for Totti and i think Del Piero for Vieri if he is ruled out

Christ is a football fiesta today, somehow I've got to juggle three matches!

G'wan Wales!

Half-time and easily the best game of the day (so far!). A cracking
display of full-throttle footie from both sides (I was expecting Italy to try and bore Wales to death).

Amazing display by Italy they distroyed Wales in the second Half. Wales put up a brave fight but when they started to tire Italy tore them apart. How Veiri didnt score at least one is amazing Inzagi new haircut seams to have given him the oposite of the samson efect.I hope all the people who call Italy a boring team were watching.

Del Piero - what a star!!

Giggs was dissapointing.

Dr Bolouswki · 07-09-2003 12:23pm

I thought the first half was the most entertaining football on telly on saturday. Had everything - second half a nightmare for wales - I thought Giggs, despite a bright start, faded totally from the game by half-time and was anonymous in the 2nd half - but in fairness to him the italians just turned it on. johnny Hartson was a legend for the first half - won every single ball...

Poor Wales - they could ahve made history! Wish that fascist twat Buffon had been sent off for attacking poor innocent Robbie Savage and little Craig Bellamy...

Italy were brilliant although the result didnt so justice to the way wales were able to hold the latter off in the first half. It will be hard for them having to do without Delaney, Bellamy and Savage for the match against finland. They will have to perform better than they did against italy in the opposite fixture to claim all 3 months in the midweek finland clash.

Italy played very well. Cristiano Zanetti looks like he is well capable of filling Maldini`s shoes at left back. I never rated Phillipo inghazi in the past but his hat trick has clearly justified his place in the italian squad.(if totti was fit i doubt ingzagi would of started).Vieri performed his usual magic but was unable to affect the scoreline. Del piero seems to be returning to his old form and judging by gattusos substitute performance he deserves a start in the next match.
