A few words about the less than excellent performance in yesterday's match between Italy and Bulgaria that ended in a 1-1.
The Azzurri, even though they remain first in group C, have a 4 point advantage that cannot be enough to feel safe: Switzerland (second place) has two matches less and Yakin is ready to take advantage of the direct match on Sunday in Basel. However, he will not have Xhaka: the captain, the only not-vaccinated player of the group, is Covid-19 positive.

I think everyone lost their bets on Italy last night. I think no body guessed that the Euro champion would draw against Bulgaria that cannot win against anyone. For Xhaka he is such a bad player and to even captain both Swiss and Arsenal is the biggest shame in football history.
It was a really weird match to be honest. It was a very lucky one for Bulgaria also. It was like their goal was blessed.
Italy played incredibly good in the second half especially. They increased their attacks and tried every way to score. They got 27 shots which was too many. However, they still couldn't score their second goal. This is football of course and sometimes things like this happen. Italy would make up for it in the next match against Switzerland I believe.
