I'm hoping that was because of the conditions. Whoever held the lead in the second half was carrying all the trump cards. Italy are the masters of sitting back and letting the other team do the work. It's hard to unlock a ten man defence. Maybe it was time to launch a few balls into the box.

Exactly. Couldn't agree more. I reckon the northern hemisphere teams especially us are really going to struggle in the heat so you pretty much have to win the game in the first half.
