When Not in Rome, Watch the Italians Win on the Locatelli

Italy scored two goals against Turkey and were gifted a third. In their match-up with Switzerland they looked to right that. A second straight win by the score of 3-0 came off two Manuel Locatelli goals and a Ciro Immobile goal just for the exclamation point. Italy remain atop the group with 6 points while Switzerland cling to third by one point. Musicus’s Euro Buddy netted him another 54 points.
