Not sure why Willis changed hands to dot that down, a bit risky.

Maybe, but Italy need to commit more players, they are going in with one man for some reason

Disagree. Looking much cleaner than they have for years. Quick jackal effort but give up quickly if not on.

Who knew that picking three backrowers that can attack the ball would help?

Yeah they've definitely got their script.

Blamed dombrandt for his pass to the floor earlier. He's playing well, you don't need to keep with the narrative, it's really dull.
