It's the big match of the day for the men: the confrontation between Belgium and Italy. Two European nations whose level of play continues to improve and where there are more and more good players.
After his logical defeat (0/3) against Argentina at the start of the competition, Belgium was able to get back into the game by winning 3/0 against the Netherlands yesterday afternoon. In its ranks it can count on solid players such as Clément Geens (172 FIP) or Jérôme Peeters (186 FIP).
For its part, the Italian selection was also clearly dominated by the Albiceleste (3/0). Behind her did the job, not without some difficulties against Holland (2/1). More experienced, the Squadra Azzura will be favorites of the meeting but they will have to be wary of eye-catching Belgian players. To validate her ticket for the quarterfinals, she can count on the essential Denis Perino, but also on Simone Cremona (116 FIP) or Marco Cassetta (117 FIP).
