Italy were not able to show their strength as Germany did yesterday but we were able to see how strong they are because not every nation will be a goal down and be able to win the match. Italy did not start the game well so they were always chasing the game but they were able to score two goals to win the game against Albania that scored at the very 1st minute of the match. All the three goals of the game came in the first half because Italy also scored two quick goals in the first half and the rest of the match was just boring and flat because no other goals came in. I thought Spain was also going to show Croatia that they are a strong nation by scoring more goals since they got three goals in the first half but that were also the only goals that came in their match.

The first match is not always a point of comparison, especially if you compare it with Germany, it is very inappropriate. Italy was indeed surprised by a quick goal due to a fatal mistake from Dimarco, but after that situation Gli Azzurri immediately responded to the attack by creating two goals which lasted until the match was over. This victory became capital for Italy to look forward to the next match and move to the round of 16.

Spain has really shown its capacity in this edition of the tournament, Croatia was completely helpless. I see that the competition in Group B will be very tight if Croatia is able to recover in the second match.
