Italy played well but were extremely wasteful against Northern Ireland, a tough place to go to and win though so I will take the draw.
Especially since Serbia was upset by Estonia 3-1 and dropped major points.
With Italy not in the best form, having three world cup teams in the group (Italy, Serbia, Slovenia) plus what looks to be a stronger Northern Ireland squad and an Estonia team who seem to no longer be an easy walkover, this group looks like it will be pretty wide open and could be a difficult group to qualify out of.
