 Euro 2008 betting action is continuing to intensify as more and more matches are being played. Each nation knows that with each passing game, the importance grows. One slip up could end a teams chances at winning the Euro 2008. Italy knows this first hand as they lost their important first match to the Netherlands 3-0. There next Euro 2008 match is against Romania, which will take place on Friday and will be a critical one. If they lose this game they will be out of Euro 2008 contention, so it is a must win for them. Italy will need everyone to come together and play as a team. They will also need some goal support from top striker Luca Toni, who came close to scoring against the Netherlands, but did not manage to find the back of the net. Currently Euro 2008 betting odds at Sportsbook.com have the Italians as -154 favorites heading into Friday’s Euro 2008.
Although Italy suffered a heavy beat to the Netherlands their spirits are not broken and their expectations are still very high. The Italian coach, Roberto Donadoni took many bright spots out of this match. He was very happy the way his substitues played for him in the Euro 2008 mathcup. He also liked the scoring chances that they produced and is confident if they play the same way, goals will come. Italy will unite as a squad of 23 players and will all try to pull together to win the Euro 2008 match. They will try their best to prove they are a top Euro 2008 team against Romania. Italy also recognises that they will need to change a couple things after Monday’s serious setback. It’s tough when you only play 3 matches in the group. You cannot afford any slip ups. On paper Italy is one of the strongest and most talented squads of the Euro 2008 teams playing. They will have to prove their worth tomorrow if they want to remain in the Euro 2008.
