Llewelyn, the guy you mentioned, Abate, he was very impressive when he came on. Lightning quick but also seemed to have a decent cross on him, set one chance up for the other sub (the one who chipped his penalty down the middle, cant remember his name- Cavedra or something??).

Antonio Candreva, yeah.
Italy was much more dangerous once Abate came on. Before he did, the entire offense was playing through the left with Giovinco. Nocerino (Juventus), who proved this year he can't play out to the right, looked much more comfortable as well once Abate came on. Also, Giovinco drifted much more to the right once he realized the impact Abate was having. I think this tournament has helped him as a player more so than anyone else on the side.
