Of course it was a penalty.

it was clear to see from the start that ventura would be satisfied with a draw. he even said that he wont rush back verratti, since he is just slowly getting integrated after his injury. verratti is supposed to be playing the next game, because according to ventura that is a must win (while this seemed not to be).

Arnautovic you disgusting fuck.

Nautl

Guess i'm the only one who thinks Parolo is a decent mid.

No you are not, quite useful player.

Well that was expected. Verratti should be starting, as well as at least one of Immobile and Belotti. Come on, Ventura...

 

[Azzurri7]

That first half performance was incredibly bad and had Ventura all over it.

 

[Cheesio]

Shit players too.

Italy need to rebuild and give experience to the young talented guys they have.

This generation won't win anything.

That first half was spineless tbh. It shouldn't take going a goal down to create a response. The Italian mentality is a factor here as well, because at 0-0 Italy they (the players I mean) knew it wasn't a disaster to draw the game when they were clearly not playing well. It's hard to jolt a team out of that mindset, but the goal did it. What a shit goal to concede as well.

It's actually hilarious to think Italy could have possibly won that game, they contributed nothing for an hour, actually zero.

Plenty of very good or great generations for national teams never won anything. Being able to compete with top teams without looking like you were Ireland or Scotland is more a barometer right now. When the mentality is right Italy overcome any gaps.

Indeed.

The biggest joke last night was Montolivo back in the NT

Italy look mediocre right now, but they're already tough to beat. Add Marchisio, Verratti and an in form Balotelli to that team and they're actually not that bad at all.

Azzurri are always dangerous. It's been known for years.

I love De Rossi. Come at me.

Hoped he would repeat that perfect PK in the Berlin shootout.

 

[Cheesio]

Pelle kicked from the team because he refused to shake Ventura's hand when he was subbed

He should never be called, he's playing in China FFS.

 

[JuveJay]

Ideally both he and Eder would be sub options - target man to hoof to and energetic late sub respectively - but I can see why Ventura would stick with trusted, they did well enough in the Euros. Pellè is dumb because it's given Ventura an easy way to throw him away.

Immobile, Belotti, Balotelli, Gabbiadini, Sansone, Insigne, El Shaarawy, Zaza, Berardi, Pavoletti, Eder, Pellè. Those options point towards a 4-3-3, it's a dilemma considering the central defensive setup.

3-4-3 in attack and 5-2-3 in defense is possible.

Insigne - Immobile - Berardi
De Sciglio - Verratti - Marchisio - Florenzi
Chiellini - Bonucci - Barzagli
Buffon​

Easily possible against the lower classed teams.

 

[89man]

Nice to see Romagnoli have a good debut.
Himself and Rugani will be there to take over, once Barzagli and Chiellini retire from the National side.

 

[Mark]

Some people asking for Gigi to be suspended for cursing right after yesterday's blunder.

 

[Cerval]

Italy is a madhouse.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

That's more like it

 

[spurdo]

Nice one, altough I think it's time to move to a formation with wingers instead of wing backs.
