Especially with up to 3 teams qualifying too.
Seriously, 3pts was enough to qualify and its not like they had Germany and France in their group. All 3 opponent were mediocre and beatable

He will teach Del Bosque and Löw a tactical lesson :agree:
We need BBC in legendary form and Gigi in legendary penalty stopper form, as well as the rest playing 120% to win this tournament

We have a winner!
that was one of the worst conte wtf moments for me

Experience teaches me if you don’t put the ball in the net then you’re not going to win. We have to learn that no matter how many chances you create, they have to go in. I don’t remember another time when we had so many chances one-on-one with the goalkeeper and from point-blank range.”

“It’s amazing people said the goalkeeper was in crisis, but he performed 11 amazing saves. Even with his performance, we still should’ve done better to score. It’s a shame, especially seeing the result in Turkey, as winning today would’ve put us in a very strong position.”

This is football and if you don’t get it over the line then you risk defeat. I fielded some taller players today to counter their power in the air, but we still conceded from a set play,” noted Conte, who surprisingly left Fernando Llorente on the bench.

“I made some players warm up, including Llorente and Giovinco, as I wanted to see how the game was going to develop. Against a side with players who are strong in the air but slow, it would be stupid to play with tall forwards. Tevez, Quagliarella and Giovinco gave them the most problems, as they are shorter and quick.

“They worked for the team and had great chances. This felt like a cursed game. Copenhagen were playing only to get corners or free kicks to float it into the box.

“We tried to bring more pace down the flanks, but at the end of the day if the ball doesn’t go in the net, we’re here talking about thin air.

“Inevitably in the first 25 minutes we met a team that went all out, though we also moved the ball around a bit too slowly. Perhaps we should’ve spread the play more, as we did in the second half, and their tempo also dropped because they couldn’t keep that up.

“The spaces opened up and we were able to create chances for our forwards that unfortunately we didn’t make the most of.”

I really feel sympathy for him. I didnt watch Italy for a long time now, but I must say his fighting spirit when his teams are playing is something im missing. I dont understand why people here like to critize him, of course we are playing great with Max, but what Conte has done cannot be forgotten.
Im also pretty sure they will play great game vs Spain which is really big achievement considering the midfield and attack he has at his disposal.

I hope he wins for Gigi's sake and to setup for an even bigger disappointment at Chelsea. But I still think Mandzo and his bro's will win this Cup.
