It has been a summer to remember for Roberto Mancini and his Italian national side, as they re-emerged on the international scene with a famous win in the European Championships. In truth, Italy were the standout nation throughout the competition, as they managed to maintain their strong start in the competition right up until the final at Wembley. They immediately gained the attention of fans with two straight 3-0 wins to open the campaign, which included a 3-0 win over Switzerland. Italy knocked out huge sides throughout their run to the final, as they beat Belgium in the quarterfinals, before squeaking past Spain on penalties in the semi-final. A shootout victory over England in the final was their reward for an excellent summer of commitment by the players. Italy already hold a strong position in this group as they are on maximum points, and could take a stride towards qualification in this break.
