I'm torn about Italy-Sweden.

On one hand, it would be awesome for a Zlatan-less Sweden to upset 4 time world champs. His attitude pisses me off.

On the other hand, I love Buffon and it would be amazing to see him play in another finals.

A couple of Zlatan quotes that reiterate my point:

“Now, when I am not a part of the team they are playing with less pressure. People are expecting less. When I was there everyone expected that the team would win the World Cup or the Euros. My impression is that that has changed now and that they will play without any pressure whatsoever and have nothing to lose.

“If I listened to my ego then Sweden would, of course, be a better team with me,” added Ibrahimovic. “But the team has done it really well so far, secured second place in a difficult group [ahead of Holland] and been given this chance to play in the play-offs. The strength of this team is the group.”
