Italy squeak by Malta. Malta played most of the match down a man but Bonucci had to be a dumbass and yank down a Malta player because he didn't feel like running. He was the last man and prevented a goal scoring opportunity so he was sent off late in the match. Croatia romped to victory so they're technically top of the group on goal difference. We play them in our next qualifier and, quite frankly, we should be worried. It was always going to be a massive match especially since they are always tough for us (I think we've only beaten them once). Now our backs are really against the wall.
In other news, the Dutch lost and are six (!) points out of the top two.
It would be classic Italy for y'all to squeak into the Euros through the third place playoff and then win the tournament.
