The Final: Spain v Italy
Yes, I have become strangely fixated on and pleased by Italy's flirtation with three at the back in parts of the tournament too. The chance to discuss if they'll use it tonight was really the reason for starting this thread.
I hope they do, for tactics wonk reasons as much as because I think it will give them the better chance of winning.
I love the way Prandelli is altering his tactics, formation and personnel as the games progress too. After a few years of not really focussing on Serie A, he, this group of players and Conte's work with Juve are reawakening my interest.

I hope Italy play 3 at the back again, that would cement me wanting Italy to win.
