It's hard to believe they missed three straight though, and that first miss was vs a wide-open net. He tried to get a little too cute with his approach.

It's always frustrating, and they showed they could get past the Italian defence several times. But I think the early goal made them more nervous, and put them into a defensive mode, which ain't a great idea when you're only a goal up against Italy. Those guys taking penalties would put them away all day long, but the nerves at that point were always going to bite.
