Clearly a better first half for Sweden than against Ireland. Sadly , Sweden have zero shots on goal for 135 minutes atm ( own goal vs Ireland)

No national team in the world is as comfortable playing on their group results than Italy in championships. They got their win against Belgium by playing really well, and we see against Sweden just how much less they feel like they need a win here. They know they'll most likely still win the group with a couple of draws against Sweden and Ireland, and even if that shouldn't be enough to win the group, they know that throughout these two matches they should get enough chances to at least snatch one of the matches.

It's not really all that exciting to watch, but as far as Italian champinship mentality goes, it's pitch perfect.

Congrats to Italy. Thought it was a pretty good game and Sweden did much, much better than against Ireland. Still got my hopes up for the Sweden-Belgium match, but I'm sad now. :smileysad: *Grabs pint of ice cream and goes to watch old Zlatan goals on Youtube.*
