The Italian national team unexpectedly surged to the top of the group, once again proving their strength in the last round, only to miss the victory over Belgium due to a red card. The team’s strengths are structure and consistency. Italy wins due to competent defense and unconventional moves in the center of the field. The team still has the opportunity to beat anyone, but it is the principle of system beats class.
The Israeli national team thanks to a coincidence got into the A League, for which they are not ready at all. The Blue and Whites were very lucky in their time, but it was clear that this is definitely not a top-division team. As Euro qualifying showed, now it is not even a team capable of qualifying for the continental tournament.
