Well then. Italy: champions in waiting, or destined to crumble at the first proper challenge? That's 10 successive clean sheets now, which is extremely impressive even if those clean sheets have been claimed against Estonia, Poland, Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, San Marino, Czechia, Turkey and now Switzerland. I think they're excellent, but fear they've got a heartbreaking drama-packed 4-3 quarter-final defeat lurking in their near future.
