    This is more tense than I was expecting.

    I'm a nervous wreck. 1-0 for us but if we still lose this match I won't be posting here for a while; will be too shocked. Nothing to do with chickening out but will just be too shocked, you'll forgive me. For now we're ahead but Austria is certainly making us work super hard.

    2-0 should be enough.
    Phew, a bit close for comfort.

    I stopped posting as I was a nervous wreck, turned off the computer... but when we were losing terrain I was thinking (I swear, I can't prove it because I didn't post it but that's what I was thinking, honest), "Mancini needs to bring in Chiesa, Locatelli, and Pessina!" He did just that... the midfield improved (Verratti as good as he is, is coming back from injury and was struggling) and Chiesa scored, then Pessina scored. LOL I could be the manager!

    And Donnarumma just showed why he is one of the best goalies in his generation! Like I said before, our clean sheets have to do with the fact that when our otherwise excellent defense fails, there's still Saint Donnarumma! So sad that he's leaving AC Milan (although we did get a good one to replace him).

    OMG Di Lorenzo went the full extension of the field, if he had managed to score it would have been a beauty!
    Chiesa's goal was extremely beautiful, by the way.

    Not yet. Austria continues to have opportunities. If they score 2-1, the last few minutes will be tense.

    Jesus.

    And there goes the clean sheet.

    Not before we beat our own clean sheet record.

    It sure did.

    To Austria's credit it took a little longer than usual, but it finally gave way...

    That's how I felt during the Hungary game. But when I saw Goretzka warming, I knew it would be ok.
