That's when you're a goalkeeper, you want somebody to bail you out.
Yeah, help me here.
And that's heartbreak.
That is absolutely heartbreak.
Three work-ups in a row now, Italy have missed.
I will also say three very different tests in those three teams.
Bosnia and Herzegovina will be very physical.
They make it a very tough game to play.
Switzerland are an outstanding footballing team because I think the team that finishes bottom of the group.
So now you've got to make sure you get a good result in there.
Qatar are still in there and it will offer a very different test.
It's a difficult one for Canada.
And as you said right now, I think the best they can hope for is a second place finish.
I don't see them topping the group.
I think Switzerland, as the bookies would agree, are the best team.
But don't, while you may have avoided Italy, don't sleep on Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Again, they will be a very stern test.
The oddity about this Italian national team and certainly this phase that they're in, and we talk about them missing three World Cups in a row now, they managed to win a Euros in there.
Yes, they did.
So for all the criticism around what it means to Italian football, missing three shared World Cups, they were crowned Euro champions in 2021.
