Just taken 40 seconds over a free kick. 7 seconds of it got added on. Who says time wasting doesn't work?

Italy will need to be better than that to make the semi final you'd imagine, can't see them being as sloppy in the quarters

Swashbuckling amazing Italy only scrape past Austria. Almost like the win is more important than the performance.

Always has been for them- they play to win at all costs, you won’t find them trying to entertain to keep people happy

Correct. They know their limitations and adapt to being a difficult outfit to beat. I don’t think Austria, Switzerland, Ukraine, Czech Republic or Wales would dispose of Sweden at all. You’re wildly exaggerating.

Italy traditionally are exactly the same (albeit to a much higher standard) and that’s led to some Italy teams going deep into tournaments despite lacking superstars.

Organised defence is suited to tournament football. Ask Santos, Deschamps, Del Bosque and Lippi for that.

Southgate knows that, it’s just seeing if we can execute in the knockout stages now.

In theory what you saying is right, but the fact you give kudos to Sweden just undermines yourself.
