"Please tell me we'll make it past Italy. Don't know if I can take another day of suspense."

Don't sweat.

Germany should be able to beat Italy by a score of 4 to 5 nothing. The Italians are known historically for having a weak defense.

However, Italy beat Germany earlier this year by 4-1. Moreover, Milan beat Bayern Munich also by the score of 4-1. But that's water under the bridge.
