Notes: Like in the previous game against Austria, the defenders Njanka, Kalla and Song didn't had a fixed position nor had a personal marking task either against the Italian attackers, they just played everywhere they liked (Though Song did really spent most of the time shadowing Vieri)
Job played as left CF, relocating Omam-Biyik as right CF
Eto'o played as CMF alongside Olembé
