For the Italians though they didn’t rotate their front 6 enough after winning Euros, and having Locatelli, Chiesa, Spinazzola, and Others hurt limited their chances to rotate.

After going undefeated for a record 37 matches and winning the Euro Cup…the recent form has been bad.

At that point they were 3-0 in qualifying and looked to be in great shape

Since then:

Drew Bulgaria
Drew Switzerland
Beat Lithuania
Lost to Spain
Beat Belgium (Mean nothing 3rd place game)
Drew Switzerland
Drew Northern Ireland
Lost to North Macedonia

Admittedly didn’t realize how poor they’ve been since Sept 2021. Knew they’ve been struggling to finish, but until you put it on paper you don’t realize the Euro hangover they had.

Peaked at the right time to win the Euros and then haven’t been able to find form since.
