Italy have been absolutely woeful. It's like watching a 3rd round FA Cup tie, with Switzerland as the Premier League side and Italy as National League.
I'm actually terrified by this game, because of how we have played so far. I genuinely would rather have to play a France/Spain so that we could be the underdog.
Can see it being a drab 0-0 all the way to penalties.
Was thinking similar to your idea, but the top 4 from each group go through to the last 16.
That way there would be far more resting on the last few games than just the top 2 going through.
I seriously think something has kicked off in the squad pre-tournament. They are all pointing and getting pissed off with each other FAR more than is expected.
