2006 team was incredible. And it was such a great mix of factors. Calciopoli had just erupted, but the team had so many Juve players. So many players who were incredibly talented, but had performed rather poorly on the international stage.. Lippi as a coach, Cannavaro who was an absolute monster, Pirlo who invented a new role altogether.. And then there's the fact it was actually a rather enjoyable WC in general too.

2006 was awesome. Also, it still hurts @Bjerknes

it was probably the last great WC for some time. I've little doubt Russia and Qatar will fuck up the next 2 and then there's the great plan to expand to 48 teams

The Italy teams of 98 and 2002 were both superior to the 2006 edition. It's a shame penalties and refereeing fucked them over in both editions respectively.

I used to think so, but upon closer inspection I think the 2006 team had a better defence (don't forget that Coco was starting in 02) and a far more balanced midfield than the 98 and 02 teams. 98 had a strike force that was impossible to match for any other nt (I mean Baggio, Del Piero, Vieri, Inzaghi and Chiesa, fuck me), but truth be told they didn't do much with it.

*8 points. Don't see Arsenal not winning against Burnley at home.

Easiest title ever for him

PL the most competitive league Conte destroying it with ease. The fun thing is that he has actually lost against three direct rivals but beaten all these shit clubs that English people like to overrate. PL has one really good team, five decent ones and the rest are complete shit.

Thats very accurate but I think City is a really good team too on paper. Their defense is shit but so is everyones over there

Yeah City will be really good team soon enough and even at the moment when they're on their game they can win against anyone as seen already in the CL this season. They just need to find consistency and a good defense would definitely help in that.

Might have been a bit harsh on Everton too in that first post they are close to being a decent team too.

Glad for him and I don't care if somes came with this EPL is a pathetic league argument. Conte is the best coach in what he does, IMO he only needs to show he learn how to adapt and read well big UCL games cuz that was his big debt over here

This Conte and UCL issue! It really should stop.

In his first UCL, he got knocked out from the QF (first time since Capello's Juve) by a legendary triple-winning Bayern. He only failed in his second attempt when he got knocked out by playing two halves in two days on a potato field.

So did we play just that game on that group stage? Weird, don't?

BTW BM didn't defeat us. They fucked us hard

And Benfica kicking us out of EL with a final to be play in our stadium was also great

I see people saying what KO says above a lot lately, then someone else mentiones what you said here and then there is no response. Then few weeks/months later again the same

 

[Bianconero81]

Then Allegri came and took the team Conte built and made them reach the CL Final. Go figure

fixed

+ Morata, Evra and Pereyra were important additions during the summer Conte left

Allegris team that made it to thw final also left it to the last game, nobody in Italy cares about EL, rightfully so a mickey mouse cup, so as KO said conte choking in CL is a bunch of balloney
