    Yes but Norway only beat Estonia 1-0 in their first meeting and they got that goal late on.
    0-0 is not impossible but don't get me wrong I expect playoffs.

    It doesn't matter, look at their head to head games, Israel dominated. 45 shots to 15 tells you everything. We have played Israel 3 times so far in recent memory, and we struggled 2 of those games.

    He used to be money on penalties but this past year he has missed a few. Orsolini should be taking them but other than that, Retegui still clears anyone else and it is not close.

    I've looked at everyone else, they have all missed about how many Retegui has taken yet Retegui has taken so many more. Pio is really good at them, but his inexperience prolly means he won't take them.

    Would have to have another look at the team at who are the Rigoristi on their clubs. Another time.

    I think playing 3 CFs has backfired it makes us too predictable and is pushing Barella and Tonali too deep. It's fine but it's disjointed.

    Yes for us Israel is a bigger challenge because we are still shakey defending no doubt but for Norway Estonia ca be tricky because they have good keeper and will just sit deep.

    They only managed 3 shots on target when they played in June out of 19 shots overall.
    Estonia also is motivated to screw things up for Norway as they are regional rivals.

    Spinazolla Di Marco sharing the LWB spot at the same time is hilarious to see

    Dimarco should come off for a mid. Either Frattesi or Locatelli

    Yeah, was thinking this 10 Minutes ago... is Gattuso the only person unaware that Dimarco only goes 65 Minutes?

    Spina, my goodness. Needed a burst of acceleration there. That need to be converted, sorry.

    Yes it makes no sense really playing with 2 midfielders makes it harder to score not easier.



    no Bastoni for Israel

    I hope Spina"s form continues for a long, long time. The finish was nice too.
