The guys dive deep into the probable starting lineups (XIs) and tactical adjustments, debating if Riccardo Calafiori must enter the defense and whether to keep the midfield identical or bring back Nicolò Barella.

With France missing Kylian Mbappé and many key players, they analyze the massive opportunity for the Azzurri to completely boss the midfield layout.

Plus, they break down the selection headaches out wide between Giacomo Raspadori, Moise Kean, and Nicolò Cambiaghi, discuss if Francesco Pio Esposito can realistically evolve into Italy's Harry Kane, and explain why Samuele Inácio MUST be called up immediately for this squad.

Finally, they analyze how fatigue from playing on a wet, heavy pitch against Turkey could impact the team before offering their predictions!
