I'm in shock that no one resigned or got fired yet. This is a big joke! Tavecchio needs to get on his knees and apologize to Italy, not hide like the little bitch that he is.

Argentina was ready to riot! They had barricades set up at the AFA headquarters in Buenos Aires

I'd like to see how you'd to react to Sampaoli had Argentina failed to qualify. 
You beat Belgium and Spain because of great tactical performances. The Italians however don't have a player the calibre of Hazard and would probably kill for Morata too.
That being said, just looking at the quality of the players they are only just below that. With a good coach they can still go far.

Italy is all about leveling down. Instead of improving academies and taking steps for having a new generation, they blame foreigner while they're the one bringing the edge in the competitivity of their league these days. All these crap players they would make space for wouldn't be playing with the best and the quality would downgrade hard
What a delusional sack of shit.
Ventura: 'I only lost two games'
Giampiero Ventura is still refusing to resign after failing to get Italy to the World Cup and insists “I lost only two games in two years.”
The CT is considered largely responsible for the 1-0 aggregate play-off defeat to Sweden, but is under contract until June 2020 and is yet to hand in his resignation.
TV show Le Iene caught up with Ventura as he was boarding a flight for Bari and aired the brief interview in full this evening.
“I can’t talk now. In future you will have all my time and readiness to discuss this issue,” he replied when asked if he would resign.
“I apologised to the Italians for the sporting result. It's horrible to see a World Cup without Italy, but it's done now and I can't do anything about it.
"I still had some of the best results of the last 40 years: I lost only two games in two years.”
Ventura then asked for some 'manners’ from the interviewer and was asked “with good manners, will you resign or not?”
He replied: “Yes.”
It's reported Ventura then sent a text message to news agency ANSA insisting he never said that, even though it is on camera.
The FIGC is due to meet on Wednesday to discuss the situation, with President Carlo Tavecchio also facing pressure to resign.

They're not really the "foreigners" that ppl are talking about. Besieds, El SHa was born in Genoa to an Italian Mom, Jorghino's grandparents are Italian, the ppl who are making that argument are referring to the slavs, africans etc in the league, and increasingly in the youth teams. I don't really fully agree with senior teams having a limit on foreigners...What I do agree with, is that the youth teams and acadmies should only have a couple foreginers at most, that's where it all starts from. The Italian academies should play and produce Italian players, no doubt, we should all follow Atalanta's model
He had some good wins against Albania and Lichtenstein. Even managed that bold 3-2 thriller over the mighty Macedonia
Can't believe this guy is seriously defending his record

Oh for sure. I totally agree that FAs should enact rules to protect the development of home grown players.
