International Football is fucking boring and pointless. Only time it's worthwhile and fun to watch is in tournaments like the WC or Euros or whatever, which aren't as good as they used to be anyway.

And to think in a couple of years time, UEFA are introducing this useless fucken Nations League garbage :sergio: More pointless NT games, and more chances for our players to get injured/fatigued.
:tup:

Fiat drop Italy sponsorship?
By Football Italia staff

Frosty relations between Juventus’ ownership and the Italian national team continue, with reports Fiat will drop its sponsorship of the Azzurri.

There has been open warfare between the Bianconeri and Italy CT Antonio Conte in recent days following Claudio Marchisio’s injury.

The midfielder was diagnosed with a cruciate ligament injury by Azzurri medics, and sent back to Turin, his season apparently over.

John Elkann, CEO of Exor, the investment company which owns Juventus, as well as Fiat and others then criticised the Coach for working the players too hard.

However, Marchisio was then reassessed by Juventus doctors, with the injury not as bad as first feared, and could return to training this week.

Conte has warned that he 'can’t just let some things slide’, and according to Tuttosport the same goes for Elkann.

The newspaper reports that Fiat will drop its sponsorship of the Azzurri, with the FIGC negotiating with other car manufacturers.

It’s believed that the Torinese manufacturer has made an intentionally low offer of renewal, something which the Federation is very unlikely to accept.

Someone beat me to it :D I wanted to post that article.

If this is true, then things are getting out of hand. I mean, Marchisio's not even injured (according to reports)

:D But hard feelings remain...
Italy NT really screwed up, there's none talent like ADP, Totti, Maldini, Cannavaro, Gigi, and Pirlo.
And they're keep blaming each other, club blame figc, club blame ref, and FIGC on row with Juve for about a decade. :lol:
They will need 10yr atleast for back to top.

Yesterday I watched a Korean movie called the chaser.

Movie was about an ex-cop turned into a pimp. His bitches start disappearing, he finds the dude responsible and the pimp thinks that dude sold the bitches off. Anyways turned out the dude that made the chicks disappear killed them all off.

Reason he killed them was because he was impotent and couldn't get physically aroused.

Basically the point I'm trying to put across is that Conte is the dude that can't get aroused and kills off teams because of his incompetence.
Seen this movie, but to read it used in this way :howler:

I love it as well. The dramas make Italian football interesting. Imagine this happening to the German NT.

If Conte was their coach, then maybe. :D
Bayern have constantly been taking shots at DFB for breaking their players, regardless of who the coach was during that time.
Rummenigge is ECA chairman, a group with the sole purpose of clubs fighting against associations. Yesterday it was announced he will move up into UEFA executive committee to claim more rights and money from FIFA.

Meanwhile in Italy
