'Italy are crap' has turned to 'Italy have crap players but Prandelli is a magician' after a great run of results. I guess Lippi is a bad coach. The truth is in between, I'll leave predictions to those in the know.

Azzuri have special place in my heart. They are the first national team that I cheered for, and I will always cheer for them

They were my first team also, 1994 and the WC.

Italy is always underestimated.

Italy is always underestimated.

It's a bad sign when they aren't.

Its hard to not dislike Italy. Really one of the NT's i always wish the worst for.

 

[JuveJay]

Weren't they both friendlies? Doesn't mean anything imo.

Yes. It shows that they drew and won those matches, so as far as can actually be proven Italy would not be smashed by those teams. They'd give them a good game like everyone else. But then they could lose 2-0 to Slovakia or Serbia on a bad day, football is fickle and finger in the air predictions are a waste of time. If we are talking about comparing lists of players on paper go for it.

Before Euro 2008 it was the opposite, but it depends on who is rating.

Yeah, if you don't like them. They thrive on the underdog status. Make them favourites and they get complacent.

Why?

So many Juventini and always produce legendary players, a lot of classic moments in international football.

Touche

When Italy won the WC in 2006, Libya went berserk, i guarantee you that at least 80% of Libyan football fans are Italian NT supporters and support a Serie A club in Europe. Maybe thats why i don't like Italy very much

I was in Sarajevo dodging bullets and waiting for electricity to kick in so i could watch a game. I missed 1 half final because of that.

I managed to get out from here just for a few months. Before I realized I was back in hell again

Ah, well we survived. But when Baggio missed that penalty it was harsh. By the way in which part of the town are you? I was on Malta.
