I can't stand that all people want to talk about is this 'fastest goal' or the 'almost' tie goal.... nobody is talking about that Italy controlled this game the ENTIRE time 70% of ball possession. Albania looked like a bunch of kids trying to play against there coaches. I say that fast goal I'm 23 sec. Is an absolute mistake....but I guarantee it won't happen again.....and as for that almost tie goal...it's a shot on goal...one of what should of been more, it's Albania's only time In the entire game that Albania actually attacked well.; a real team would of done that more. Italy is levels above them.....are they the best, maybe not, but what team doesn't have things to do better?. FORZA AZZURI!!!!

Forza Italia! Evvaiiii!

[@OvieSnips8]

Thank you Gab for speaking sense. Alot of the talking heads sound upset Italy won without giving any credit. And no one is talking about how Albania stopped playing after 1-0.

1-0 26 secondi😂

Forza Italia 🇮🇹⚽⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@arrore]

I was hoping for Albania and Croatia to do well. 👐

[@Neoyorchese]

Albania will beat Croatia and Italy will beat Spain. Enough said. Forza Italia!

[@logan9920]

Italy 🇮🇹 always grow stronger when other teams grow weaker.

The only disappointment for me was not getting the third goal. In the modern game, you can't mess around at 2-1. Great start for Italy and well done to Albania for taking the chance after only 23secs.

[@luchoc602]

Scamacca and Frattesi have created a good partnership. If only Frattesi could finish his plays.... If he does, that would be awesome for us

[@akimzotti9074]

They played together in Sassuolo in the past

Gab , Italia will slowly grow into tourni

[@Siwashable]

Italy is far better than a lot of its critics will concede... not perfect of course! But a true contender.

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

Italy did the same at the Euro 2021 final vs England.....Eng scored after a couple of minutes...then lost 🙂

[@graemekinslow9789]

Italy played like England....Passing backwards rather than going forward compared to the Netherlands who just wanted to keep going forward although lacking composure in front of goal they were more positive 😊

Turdo. I was expecting Mark to comeback with McTurd.

[@billyjean5934]

He had to take early flight back to Scotland after Rudiger becoming no.1 scorer!

[@indrohari1908]

Frattesi is not a baller .. technically he is decent at best ..

[@williamwallace4080]

he's a goalscorer and he hasn't played much this year.

[@WallaceGromit88]

Yeah but he’s not a defensive player by any means. He just attacks by attacking space. I guess calling him a baller maybe slightly inaccurate.

[@mp31013]

Typical game by an embarassing Italian team. Disgusting.

[@Beado879]

Whatttt

[@Epifanio-vv3zs]

They may be embarassing,but they made 10 finals.(6 w c and 4 eurocup)..... English team?

[@tdmprofit3708]

At least it's all Italians! Not the United Nations playing as a European team.
