Capello explaining why the ‘greatest responsibility lies with Serie A’ in their struggles so far.

By faith (Fede in Italian, ed.) I also mean Federico Chiesa, who remains the most international player of our national team

Like this take from Capello .... fan or not or agree or not but ....

“Italy will need more speed against Switzerland, so far we’ve appeared too slow with the ball.
If that's the case, don't start tired Jorghino and a few others (Frattesi Cristante etc etc) logging plenty of minutes. Darmian might have been okay but no more. Nothing special and Inter could have put anyone there and still won the scudetto.

Biased for Fagioli and a few other young guys (our Cambiaso) should have more speed and at least more endurance to give it all for whatever minutes they supply. Can they be play any worse than the experienced guys that have?

Part about Chiesa ....
“By faith (Fede in Italian, ed.) I also mean Federico Chiesa, who remains the most international player of our national team.
Sprints, bursts, changes of pace, high intensity. Modern football goes in this direction, just look at the Spain of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, and the Juventus forward is the only one to have these characteristics in his locker.

“He is often criticised, Federico, but this national team needs him and his ability to break the bank and defences to the sound of percussion, dribbling and impromptu plays. And all the more so on Saturday afternoon, in the Round of 16.

Other than Barella on paper, who is his equal or at worst second star on team? Everything not so good for Chiesa on field of late but going with upside, positive strategy trying to win match instead of attempting not to lose it.

A win is a win but won't be thrilled winning 0-0 PK match!

Italia national tean rooters here likely have seen enough of this strategy .....

Draftkings
ITA +145 SUI +220 Draw +195
Fanduel
ITA +145 SUI +230. Draw +190

Here's the odds 4 days later.
Draftkings
ITA +160 SUI +220 Draw +185
Fanduel
ITA +160 SUI +230 Draw +175

Surprising really hasn't changed as much as I assumed. I do have a friend who usually roots always for Italy with me that already bet he Swiss just to qualify. Can't blame him a bit with money on the line.

Capello talks a lot of garbage like this and it’s funny. He had a super team from 04-06, and the football we produced was disgusting for the most part. And we got bounced out of the CL against two inferior EPL teams. He’s another one with a loud mouth and a lot of hypocritical words like Sacchi

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Scamacca... more like a sacca shit!

Didn't think it could get worse than Immobile and Belotti but here we are.

That sort of thing is what happens with a provincial mentality coach in charge.

The worrying thing about Italy right now is that I dont even think a Conte could gel a cohort of players like this together. Too many primadonnas and no real 'men' or leaders in this team who can provide grinta. For all the "worst italy team in 50 years" talk in 2016, I actually think it holds up well compared to this current one. At least back then you had a legendary BBC defense to rely on. What does Italy have now? Not even that. Defense, midfield, attack.. every department is flawed. And the thing is, we seem to have talent in our youth ranks, but this country is incapable of integrating them successfully into senior teams. Countries like Spain and England do this well, but we dont. Only Juve seem to be trying.

I totally underestimated how deluded Spalletti is, no sane person can say such an abomination.

 

[icemaη]

Good thing for Italy is that Allegri is available

As poor as the quality of the players is, Spalletti was nothing short of catastrophic. Horrendous tournament.

All began with inexplicably taking Fags.

Who ratted on your client that Fags triggers you so much?

I think he's an absolute piece of trash who does not deserve anything he's getting, let alone that he deserved to be called up after a season of not playing.

He will never amount to anything special, but in the meantime he's still on the roster of a historic club like Juventus. And even despite his obvious lack of actual impact, he's not happy with just being there, no, he has to bet. And betting doesn't suffice, no, he has to rat out actually talented players. All he does is look kind of pretty. But the fucker is not even that really. He's like a 1998 DiCaprio you got from a website that didn't prove trustworthy.

Fagioli represents everything that is wrong with football today.

And in case I'm not clear: fuck him.

Of all the players to trash after that performance, this is your punching bag?
