Bulgaria Italy live

The current World Champions of football Italy will be hoping to kickstart their title defence when they come up against Bulgaria in the weekend round of International FIFA 2010 World Cup qualifying matches. Italy come into this clash on the back of some rather dire results in recent times and you can catch up with their progress with our football broadcast of Bulgaria vs Italy live online on www.oleolefootball.com, the premium online football streams portal.

Italy have found it tough to repeat their success of the 2006 World Cup in recent times losing out to the likes of Spain and France over the 2008 Euro qualifying championships. The Azzuri have suffered from the lack of youth set-up through the squad and the overtly ageing squad will need to pull up something spectacular if they are to remain competitive on the World stage. The likes of Del Piero, Pirlo and Gattuso are not getting any younger and much hope will be placed on the midfield trio of Cassano, Aquilani and De Rossi. De Rossi in particular has been the standout player in an otherwise poor season for AS Roma and the talented midfielder will be the key to further success for the Azzuri against Bulgaria over the weekend.

Bulgaria on the other hand, are desperate for success on the World stage after missing out on World Cup qualification for the last two decades. However, the East European outfit probably have the finest squad in years with Manchester United forward Dimitrov Berbatov leading the line. The silky United striker is one of the best young players from Bulgaria after Hristo Stoickov and he will be hoping to feature prominently in Bulgaria’s campaign in a relatively easy group consisting of Ireland and Georgia.
