Uruguay come into today's game knowing nothing less than a win will be enough for them. Oscar Tabarez has said, "I have a group who are used to resisting pressure and who react to it in a good way. They've (Italy) been world champions four times and we have a lot of respect for them. It will be a tough challenge for us but I believe we'll have our chances."
Even though Uruguay have the pressure of needing a win, Italy have been feeling the weight of expectation from back home. After crashing out in the group stages four years ago, their home fans are expecting them to progress this time and go far, and it would be as much if not more of a disaster were they to fail to get into the Last 16 again.
