Well contested but generally shite game between two mediocre teams. Obviously Sweden can put men behind the ball all day long. Helps when the two decisive moments in the game both go your way, that's football.
Ventura insisting with the 3-5-2 or its variants will be the death of Italy for this campaign. It's a hopeful approach, hoping something falls or a fluke like their goal or a bit of magic. The team has no identity or creativity with this set up. Verratti off for Insigne, the guy might as well walk out of the stadium into the traffic. If Italy somehow qualify it'll be because the players show a bit of pride and skill on Monday despite Ventura's input, you can see it in their football and body language.
Belotti touched the ball about 3 times all game. Eder replaced him and touched the ball about 2 times. Unisci i puntini, nonno.
