Italy take on Uruguay in Group D’s deciding match at Estádio das Dunas, Natal on Tuesday, with both teams still having a chance to qualify for the round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup 2014. A draw will be enough for Italy to advance on goal difference, while Uruguay must win to keep hope alive of at least replicating their semifinal berth of four years ago.
The intrigue created by the do-or-die nature of the match is only exacerbated by the uncertainty over just what kind of performance the teams will produce. Both Uruguay and Italy have been insipid in defeat to Costa Rica, yet impressed in 2-1 wins over the now eliminated England.

When Italy and Uruguay meet, it will be in the early afternoon heat of Natal and the conditions will again surely play a part in who prevails. Of course the ability to deal with the climate and in Italy’s case yet another long journey from their base camp on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.
