There's 4 games left isn't there?

 

Three for Italy after this and with a loss Italy would be 6 points behind Israel. Not out mathematically but would be tough and they still have matches against Norway and Israel left. And Israel has Moldova at home as one of their remaining matches.

Its Israel that have 3 games left, whereas Italy will have 4.

 

That said, Italy don't even have the backup of a Nations League qualifying playoff birth as things stand.

Happy that went in but unsure of how it did exactly!

 

On a side note what is with Italy's kit? That's really dull and a bit ugly. As someone who has fond memories of watching Football Italia on Channel 4 as a child in the 90s it makes me a bit sad when Italy don't even have a nice kit anymore. Could the football gods not even given them that?

In reality all that goal did was to give Italy a good chance at 1st instead of 2nd. Italy and Norway will beat Israel at home. Norway might get overtaken on goal difference if Italy beat us. Israel was never getting top 2 with a draw here.

I think Russia got banned because it was clear teams would refuse to play them, the same pressure would have to applied with regards to Israel. UEFA and FIFA don’t give a shit about anything but backhanders.

Less than 1% of the deaths in the Russia/Ukraine war are children. In Gaza it's up around 40% and the ones who've survived are worse off. Many are maimed, psychologically destroyed, starving living in tents beside rubble, knowing they could be bombed at any moment. A Dec 2024 survey showed half of Gazan children wished they were dead. It must be more than that now.

 

Gaza is the greatest act of evil of our lifetime. The extermination of a people inside a death camp by a supremacist state. The very thing we were endlessly told (by the same people telling us this is all necessary) was the ultimate evil that must never be allowed to happen again.
