Bulgaria are crap, this was always likely to happen. Italy needed to score a couple of goals in this game, which is why I said it would be a problem as Northern Ireland always step up when a big team comes to down, at least in effort. They don't score a lot and they don't concede many.

Italy without Spina is a very very average national team. Look completely clueless going forward. It’s a lot like watching a Juventus game

Now 3-0 to Swiss so that’s that now

Mancini must realize it is time to push the next generation through. He won the Euros, this is not club football, he has a new 5 year contract and all the job security he can seek.

Zaniolo, Kean, Rovella, Tonali, Calabria, Calafiori, Lovato, Vignato etc must be starting or in the squad every game. Immobile, Belotti, Berardi, Insigne, Berna, Cristante, Jorginho, Acerbi etc have no future.

If punching above it’s weight had a name, it would be Italy 2021. I still hope they qualify but they no one to blame other than themselves for these timid draws off late. The playoffs are going to be very tricky.
