Italy and Uruguay are playing for qualification into the knockout round. Both teams have three points, with Italy sitting ahead because of a slim goal differential.
"All World Cup games are important, but this one's like a semi-final or a final," Italy veteran Andrea Pirlo said, via FIFA.com. "It's not causing us too much concern, but of course it's a fundamental game. It's make or break. Obviously it would be a huge disappointment for the whole squad if we didn't go through to the second round. But we have the capabilities to win this game. We won't be going out there looking to draw."
While Italy needs only a draw to advance because of the goal differential, Uruguay must win to keep their World Cup bid alive. Despite the pressure to win, Uruguay star Luis Suarez believes his side can walk away with the three points because of Italy's exploitable weaknesses.
"From last year's Confederations Cup, I know how organised they are. If you leave them just an inch they will make you pay," Suarez said. "But they have weaknesses as well as strengths, and we will try to exploit those weaknesses. We expect Italy to be tough opponents, but we know what's at stake and we are going out there to qualify."
