If Italy and Spain draw tomorrow, they're both guaranteed to qualify.

A draw between Croatia and Albania would have made things more interesting I think.

I don't like how deep they sit in defence. They did the same thing against Italy. But on this level, if you're going to allow a team to just have the ball right around the box, you will concede at some point.
Lol, I guess maybe it now is more interesting.

That freekick they had where they just passed back, why?

There's no excuse for Italy to not beat this Croatia, playing like that. Really, maybe I'm crazy, but if Albania sit back and stay compact without making those stupid mistakes, I think they could get something out of that Spain match.

Agreed about staying compact, but their defense is not good enough to sit as low as they do. They conceded twice today and twice against Italy. With the same gameplan, they're going to concede at least as many goals against Spain.

The draw today might entice Spain and Italy to try to win tomorrow.
