Will it be Italy or Uruguay to ensure their spot in the next round, all the action starts tonight at 5:00pm (UK time).
In the minds of football fans all over the globe thinking about a game between Italy and Uruguay would generally be given to Italy. In fact many people have talked about the Italian team as potentials for the World Cup Champions without paying Uruguay much regard. In the history between these two teams, Italy have won a dismal 2 games, drawn 4 times and lost 3 matches to Uruguay.
Group of Death
It is without question that Group D in the 2014 World Cup is the Group of Death. Without England already out of the next round and tough play from group leading Costa Rica Italy and Uruguay could both potentially get through to the knockout stage but will need their players in top form tonight.
That may be a little easier said than done as injury-plagued Italy have already lost one of their central midfielders for the match. Daniel De Rossi will not be playing tonight due to a calf muscle injury and will need several more days to heal. The rest of the Italian midfield is growing old with an average age of 28.75 between them. Pirlo, the star Italian is the midfield's General but he cannot go 90 minutes with the same ease as their runner-up bid at the 2010 World Cup.
Uruguay need a win tonight in order to have any hopes of advancing to the next stage. The team doesn't look the same as their 2010 4th place finish suggest but their stars like Luis Suarez, arguably the top player in the world right now, and Edinson Cavani are proving to be more that top teams in the world (like England) can handle.
