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.
This is one sad incident that occurs in football betting where defending champions turns out to render your accumulated odds useless. I wasn't even expecting a draw from the match all I saw was a straight win for Italy yesterday but ended up drawing against Bulgaria. It got me sad but we still have to move on
