Let's be honest. They never were up for it and they won't be any time soon. It's a mess right now and no one can fix it even if Italians make it to the WC.

After the WC give the chance to Ancelotti but I doubt he'd take the job. He seems eager to give it a try with another club.

If we qualify Ventura should be sacked and a suitable replacement found. Maybe they can convince Ancelotti to take charge just for the WC who knows

Why is Balo not being called up?

is that a serious question?

Or Zaza

Now Zaza on the other hand should be there for sure.

You know it's not happening. If you want Ventura gone, you better keep your fingers crossed for Italians missing out on the whole tournament then.

Maybe he should be, but this Italy is the worst since ever.

meh 2010 was awful too

This is so upsetting.

Italy are expected to use a 4-2-4 formation against Albania on Monday with Eder, Antonio Candreva and Bryan Cristante stepping in.


LOL

I've been watching Rai Sport this last 1.5hrs and it's actually really depressing. The amount of rubbish I'm hearing especially Urbano Cairo saying this isn't the Ventura that he knew at Torino. ( yadda yadda yadda) Zzzzzzzzzz.

Definitely putting money on Italy to crash out of group in the summer

 

[JuveJay]

There's the issue with Italy playing with no intensity and little interest when there isn't that much to play for, which obviously there isn't/wasn't, but the players need to have a bit of pride and do a professional job AT LEAST. The fault also lies with the coach because he's clearly not

Would this same team have drawn with Conte? Obviously not, he wouldn't have stood for it and the players know that, but he's a lot stronger personality than nice old grandpa. Italy always need a kick up the ass, it's been the same for nearly two decades now.

 

[Cerval]

Eder is a joke. Choosing him over Zaza is insanity

 

[am0110]

Insanity is when you have such a rich football history and over 60 milion country population where football is very important and in the end you have to choose between mediocre Brasilian and fucking Zaza

If Italy could avoid injury they would actually have a pretty good team. I would probably go 3-4-3 with:

Rugani-BonBon-Chiellini
Candreva-Marchisio-Veratti-Spina
Bernadeshi-Belotti-Insigne

In terms of individual quality I would only rate Spain,Germany, France and maybe Belgium higher in Europe.

What's the point in having good individuals when you have a complete helmet steering the ship.

That team cant even beat England.

You'll get more money on Italy crashing out before the summer. That's my bet. I'll whack a tidy £50 on that.

 

[DAiDEViL]

In a tournament England will do everything to beat itself if it has to.

- - - Updated - - -

but he already changed his sporting nationality to italian i think, so there is no going back anymore

Jorginho has only played friendlies for Italy, they don't count (only qualifiers and tournament games do). Brazil can still take him if they want.

It's rumored that Brazil will call up Jorginho before the World Cup.

Ventura plays Parolo at the expense of losing Jorginho :facepalm2:

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Nothing wrong with Parolo @DAiDEViL

But yeah, Italy won't make it past the play-offs with this dickhead leading the team.
