Predictions:
Italy has a very good chance going into the world cup. Italy's chances to making it to the second round is 84.3% and a 43% chance of getting into the quarter-finals. Their chances get lower as we enter into the semi-finals (17.6% chance) and finals (8.7% chance). According to the Castrol FIFA World Cup Predictor there is a 3.6% chance of Italy winning the world cup. Although this may see small, compared to New Zealand at 0.0% chance, we are in the running! If Italy qualifies first in their group there is a 22.1% chance they will play Brazil in the finals. If this happens there is a chance that they could win considering Brazil is yet to win.
About a Goalie:
Gianluigi Buffon (Goal Keeper)-*Started at the age of 13. *Has played for both Parma (1995-2001, and Juventus (2001-Present) *Considered one of the best goal keepers in the world. *Has been awarded 4 awards and 3 personal honours.
My Opinion:
Knowing this information, and that Italy has won before (in 2006 crowned FIFA World Cup Champions), I think that Italy has a pretty good chance of winning. Gianluigi Buffon seems as though he is a very good goal keeper, there for will probably be able to bring his team to a win or two. I looked through a couple more of there players, like Fabio Cannavaro (defensive player) and I feel as if is a good defender. The only bad thing about him is that fans dont seem to like him very much, we will just have to see what he has in store for us.
I totally agree, I think Italy has a very good chance of making it and possibly winning, with the fact that they have "considered on of the best goalies in the world", and also that they are known for winning, like the fact that they did win the 2006 World Cup sure does prove a little bit more that they aren't going to be a very easy team to beat. It wouldnt really suprise me if they make it to the quarter finals with theses stastics and fact and everything else, but I do think that they might have a set back if they have to face countries like Spain and England, which are known for winning the World Cup.
