ITALY up the ante for a final round of the group stage to decide who will go through to the knockouts as they take on Croatia.
Italy failed to build on their opening win against Albania having lost to Spain courtesy of Riccardo Calafiori's own goal.
However, they're never lacking in passion as demonstrated by the way they belt out their national anthem.
What is Italy's national anthem called?
The Italian national anthem is officially called Il Canto degli Italiani (The Song of the Italians).
However, to most Italians it is better known as Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy) after the first line of the song.

What are the words to Italy's national anthem?
Fratelli d'Italia,
l'Italia s'è desta,
dell'elmo di Scipio
s'è cinta la testa.
Dov'è la Vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.
Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l'Italia chiamò.
Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l'Italia chiamò! Sì!
What are the English words to Italy's national anthem?
Brothers of Italy,
Italy has woken,
bound Scipio's helmet
Upon her head.
Where is Victory?
Let her bow down,
Because [as a] slave of Rome
God created her.
Let us join in a cohort,
we are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called.
Let us join in a cohort,
We are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called! Yes!
