Fixed results are rather common in international soccer. And I don't blame it. When 2 teams need a tie to move on, it is 90% sure that they will do that.
And it isn't very difficult to do that: 3-3 could have been problematic, but 2-2 is not so difficult. And then, look at the stands..
But I don't blame Sweden or Denmark. Italy would have done the same.
I blame Italy, instead. Azzurri should have played differently against Denmark. If we had scored the 2nd goal vs Sweden, we would have won that game. If Trapattoni hadn't decided to play so defensively in the last 20 minutes vs Sweden, we would have won.
Trapattoni failed 2 competitions and he will be fired!! Marcello Lippi should be our next coach.
Marcello Lippi won 5 Italian Titles, 1 Champions' League with Juventus.
