Italy leading Group C with 19 points while Faroe Islands is the last team with only 4 points. This suffered victory pushing Italy everytime closer to the EURO 2012 qualification reaching 19 points. We might be celebrating Italy's qualification next Tuesday if Italy defeat Slovenia at the Artemio Franchi di Firenze.
So much to see in this new adventure with a rejuvenated Italian National Team. Prandelli trusting forwards Antonio Cassano and Giuseppe Rossi to lead the attack.
In FIFA ranking the gap is big compared to Faroe in the 111th rank and Italy in the 7th.
Here is the official lineup from FAROE ISLANDS by coach:
FAROE ISLANDS (4-4-1-1): Torgard; Naes, Baldvisson, Gregersen, J Davidsen; Justinussen, Olsen, Holst, Benjaminsen; Edmundsson, Elttor

So,let's roll the ball and wait for the
How proud I feel watching our Azzurri singing the national anthem and close up from Buffon singing loud "l'inno di Mameli' with his closed eyes as concentrating to do his best.
Good start for Italy with midfielder Riccardo Montolivo having 2 chances to open the score. Italy pressing, faster than usual. So, far looking good.
wow, wow. awesome action in the 11th minute preceded by midfielder Andrea Pirlo to Antonio Cassano. Faroe goalkeeper anticipating to block Cassano but somehow he frees himself while the net pen and he delicately just shot the ball to celebrate a goal... and there you go. Italy ahead already.
Faroe Islands 0 - 1 Italy
Scary moment in the 24th minute when Olsen almost equalizing the score forcing Buffon to a super stretch and the ball hits the post..... Italy slowing down a bit while Faroe players are now reacting... come on Italiaaaaaa
Referee Bognar whistles the end of first half. I am watching on RAI TALIA and comments by Fulvio Collovatti agreeing that Italy started fast, but after the goal we kind of slow down a bit.... let's see how it goes in the second half... for the moment Slovenia losing at home 0-1 which is good for us.....
Italy head coach Prandelli making the first substitution in the 58th minute, Giuseppe Rossi out, and time for Giampaolo Pazzini
Suddenly, Faroe Islands creating all kind of dangers for Italy, and even risking for a draw....
Second substitution now for Italy in the 73rd minute, Thiago Motta out, Alberto Aquilani in
In the 85th minute, Prandelli giving chance to forward Mario Balotelli who replaces now Antonio Cassano...
Just towards the end and Montolivo giving it a try with a long right footed shot geeee ending directly in the arms of the goalkeeper.....
Ooppsss in the 89th minute and Faroe Islands sending chillsssssssss hello hello helloooooo Tongard with a long shot and luckily for Italy and Edmundssson is caught offside.....
This is it... a suffered victory when we thought it was going to be an easy ride, but Faroe battled until the end.
What counts is that Italy takes the 3 points.
