The biggest problem our national team faces is not having a good goalscorer. I'd even settle for a Cavani type player. We have midfielders up the wazoo, we are even fairly set for defenders, but we just don't have any real good forwards
Silva always lack urgency in front of the goal. he always looks so chill like it is a friendly or something.
Holy cow! Italy losing 2-1 to Macedonia! And just like with Italy, after we score we lose possession and slow down. We lose all urgency. Edit: and then of course, We score
And the Italians get the win late in injury time so both Spain and Italy are tops with 7 points after 3 matches with Albania and Israel with 6 points each.
