Speculation mounts over Prandelli
Cesare Prandelli's hint that he will step down as Italy coach after next summer's World Cup has raised the question as to who could replace him at the helm of the Azzurri.

It reduces the need to procure a point or three in Columbus on Tuesday. It soothes an infuriated group of supporters hardly satiated by the 4-1 triumph over Cote D'Ivoire in August. It takes away most of the danger from this qualification process, even with just one home fixture against Panama remaining in October.

The biggest deal of the day was Arsenal completing the signing of Germany playmaker Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid for a fee of around 42.4 million Pounds.
