Good to see 5 Italy Serie A players in the starting line up for Brazil. Guys, Juventus midfielder Felipe Melo back in action after twisting his ankle and missing the game against Chile. As expected the Inter Milan trio and solid wall with Julio Cesar, Maicon and Lucio.

Oh my gosh guys. I am so so so soooo nervous with this match. So proud to see our Italian Serie A players in this important game and also our ex AC Milan player "Musica and Magia" Kaka. I feel great for the work done by our guys including Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder with Netherlands and AC Milan forward Klaas Jan Huntelaar.
