And you don't love Juve? People on this forum are fucked up when it comes to Conte.

That's why I started disliking the guy to begin with. Always appreciate what he did for us, but was gutted the way he left Juve and hated his comments afterwards.

Can't put the blame on him for this. At all. Did a great job with what he had, especially that atrocious midfield. The one thing he can't control is the ability of his players to make penalty kicks

Don't try to understand them, it's crazy. Up there with Lippi for me.

no need to blame Conte today (except for late subs),
won against a superior spain, almost won against a superior Germany.

not a bad tournament at all.

With Marchisio and Verratti there, they would have won this shit.

Not sure about that. Italian players are very committed to tactics and drilled to execute them well. Imagine having to do stuff like this with Cahill.

Maybe. But on the other hand I'm pretty sure he'll be capable to punish opponents for tactical loops. I'm yet to see their transfers, though.

But that's what he was always like. Even back when he was a player. I sort of like him I guess as a coach, but I don't think I'd like him much as a person. I expected him to make us a competitive side again, but I also expected him to leave exactly the way he did.

I really hate Pelle, Zaza's was just as bad, but he's a Juve player

Both tried to act cool and played one of the worst penalties I have ever seen. The pressure was insanely high though so I dont think this should be held against them. Players like Ozil and Schweinsteiger missed because of the pressure and these guys are experienced as fuck and are worldcup champions.

If Ranieri can outwit the chumps with a factory worker and random journeymen, Conte certainly can. I think it's between Pep and Conte this season. Maybe Mourinho as well, if he buys himself a new team.

The bitching in this thread The guy made an utterly lackluster team, unbelievably outperform and go out just in penalties, but the butthurt losers here are trying to put the blame on him.

I was watching with a United fan and he called both Bastian's and Darmians misses

The worst Italian side of the last couple of decades was on par with one of the best German sides and current world champions for most of the game. Good job.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

But Eder can?

Refer to hooris post, if you asked any azzurri fan before the game would you take a penalty shootout to decide if they would all go for it

I didn't like him that much as a player anyway. Don't understand this discussion to be honest. To me, the way he left Juve and what he said afterwards made him look like a very petty man, and I don't like petty men. Still am thankful for what he did for us, and posted here today only to praise his coaching abilities.

It's weird that some of the people who have been bitching about him for years now are singing his praises and suddenly are back to liking him because he did well with Italy.

Thanks for the great performances, now I can go back to dislike you fully on Chelsea's bench.

Will forever be grateful for how he demolished Belgium.

Conte humiliated a much fancied Belgium side and completely out managed a much fancied spain side. penalty shoot out is a lottery, most would have had Italy down and out conceding to Germany but the fight was nothing short of heroic and to be fair the zaza sub made sense at the time, after all he has scored plenty of penalties at club level in his career

Manager of the tournament between him and Chris Coleman.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

so you keep an exhausted player on the pitch just because you only have insigne on the bench?

I judge him by the results, could have easily subbed put eder too soon and lost the game in regulation, that's the problem with Hindsight you only choose the scenario that fits your narrative

I did not bitch about him for years. I may have posted ~10 comments about him since he left.
I always praised his coaching skills.
And am not back to liking him.
