Yeah that was all the talk if Calcapoli-sp. was in play or not. Allowing a team like Italy back in with the history of strong finishing is scary stuff. Italy will be without Pirlo so that may be of some help to Spain.
Honestly Romania just didn't give any impression that they wanted it at all. The game plan folded and no attempt to change came of it.
Maybe the fix was in and Van Persie and Robben just weren't told. I can understand not sending Jan Johannes Vennegoor of Hesselink the note, who the heck has the time for that address?
