International Friendly: Italy can't win! Just 1-1 against a decent Ukraine.

It's looking like a curse! This Italy cannot win. Unlucky Roberto Mancini even because Italy this time totally dominated at least the first half and a good part of the second one too. The 1-1 is undeserved by Ukraine but they had the strength to stay in the match and in the end they could actually even over come but luckily the bar saved Donnarumma. Oh poor Milan's keeper. It's not really his moment. Once again his slow motion moves cost a lot to Italy. When you see Ruslan Malinovskiy at 62' shooting on target in a very goofy way and a keeper that is just not good enough to quickly react to that.... it's pretty frustrating considering that Italy just got the lead few minutes before with a powerful strike by Federico Bernardeschi('55) helped by another very wrong save by A.Piatov that after getting the shot left the ball going into his own net with a very weird effect. But also too many mistakes in the last 16 meters. Federico Chiesa and Lorenzo Insigne simply couldn't score and they really had so many chances. A National team needs people that scores. Good thing was that all the proceeds are supposed to go to help the Genova's families affected by the Morandi Bridge collapse. Such a tragedy. WE want to say that ITALY should do much more when this kind of things happens instead of all the useless symbolism you see all over the news. GO REALLY HELP PEOPLE INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE.Full stop. The game was stopped at the 43rd minute in order to commemorate the victims.

Anyway final result: a frustrating 1-1.
The serious business will be soon when Italy will face again Poland in the Uefa Nations League tournament. A defeat could see Italy get relegated probably and this would be another drama to add in for the country.
