Italy 3. Turkey 0.
The two dark horses with the grand national opening but it was the Azzurri who raced away. Cooked Turkey like it’s Christmas. Our predicted winners dropped a statement win. Immobile leading the line with a goal and an assist. Spinazzola spinning Çelik on the left flank. Jorginho controlling the tempo like a primed conductor. Call it J5 taking over the summer like it’s 2019. Chiellini and Bonucci have been securing clean sheets for a decade and it’s not stopping soon. Combined age of 70 yet they didn’t break a sweat. Serial clampers. Insigne the shortest killer since Napoleon. Less said about Bernadeschi the better. Mancini has this Italian squad playing Joga Bonito. Well-drilled, stone-cold mentality and playing great football. Had a Turkish side on 0 stamina from 35’ onwards. Relentless ball. Euro 2020 was started. Turkey were finished. And this Italian side have only just begun. Don’t sleep on the Azzurri.
