Italy may withdraw from the tournament.

[Uncle Phil]

There's talk of Italy withdrawing amid the match fixing shananigans.

Criscito has been sent home, and maybe one or two others will be. Anyone think they'll actually withdraw?

They probably should, but it's a bit late now. Who would replace them?

[Libertine]

Since when did the Planet of the Apes have a team?

[Jimothy]

He's good but I'm not sure he could take on Spain, Croatia and Ireland on his own.

[Moto Hello]

He took on Inter Milan by himself.

[Leicester_Loyal]

They won't withdraw, we all know it.

[AKCJ]

Well they're getting spanked 3-0 at home to Russia at the moment

[Finnegan]

Seriously, though, why should they have to withdraw?

Unless there's evidence that they're tampering with results on an international level then the state of their domestic game is irrelevant isn't it?

[Narborough_fox]

Highest points scorers in the group stages qualify. Would go to Bosnia and Herzegovina. I think.

[Kitchandro]

It doesn't bode well for their chances that the manager would be happy to withdraw

Why does this scream mind games at me?

I can't shake the feeling they're making a mountain out of a molehill to come in as underdogs in disarray, thus removing the pressure on them and trying to distract the opposition managers.

Probably right, they do this before every one
