Gabby Logan introduces coverage of the Confederations Cup standout group game between World Cup holders Italy and South American champions Brazil in Pretoria. The two powerhouses started the tournament as favourites to progress to the semi-finals, but with the group winners likely to avoid Spain in the last four, there's every incentive to finish top. While Italy have retained the core of their World Cup-winning side, Brazil have rebuilt under coach Dunga, with the likes of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho replaced by Manchester City's Robinho and AC Milan prodigy Alexandre Pato. Robinho was on the scoresheet when the two nations met in a pulsating friendly in February, which Brazil won 2-0.
