alistair look at Italy’s sequence of results in the world cup group stage which led them to the play offs. Poor doesn’t cover it.
A world record 37 games unbeaten.
W4 D4 L0, unbeaten in the group. Drew twice with Switzerland and once with Bulgaria. The only genuinely shit result was drawing with Northern Ireland.
You can spin statistics and form in a lot of ways, but it’s pretty difficult to spin that record as ‘poor’.
