I like Italy's chances, the only problem is that they only need a tie to advance, whereas the Czechs need a win to assure themselves of advancing.

"the only problem is that they only need a tie to advance, whereas the Czechs need a win to assure themselves of advancing"

Exactly.
So the Czechs are going to fight like wounded tigers to win that match.
And Italy wasn't very impressive today either.
So this group is till quite open.
