Joao Pedro

Man at least they won the euros. But you know Italy wouldn’t qualify for the WC the moment Jorginho missed that penalty against Switzerland.

The only shocking thing here is going out against Macedonia. Portugal would have wiped the floor with them next week anyway.

What a miserable football season

Haven't really enjoyed any football for the past 3 years. A side from Juve's decline and England almost winning the Euros, the general quality of both club and international teams is really poor now.

Immigrating to Italy is much easier now.

I’m shocked it wasn’t pandev that scored the winner

 

[GarfielD]

Berardi missed this.

 

[K.O.]

He's retired.

But the scorer is a former Palermo player. Game was in Palermo.

Honestly I was surprised Italy won Euro with out one quality striker. It caught up to them in the final stretch of WC qualifiers when Italy had to settle for ties because of few goals.

Even though CR7 didn’t score Portugal easily beat turkey. Without Sanches and Cancelo to boot. Wales beats Austria 2-1. Or should I say Gareth Bale beats Austria 2-1. Oh that’s right they have a quality striker/forward who can score goals.

It seems Italy for far too many years have had subpar striker/forwards compared to other top level countries with regards to international play.

This Italy sucks without Chiesa, he's the entire creativity of this team. Seeing Berardi shuffle about like a ragdoll attempting anything except shooting at goal is ridiculous, hopefully BeneBini are watching this and stay well away from that guy.

Anyway, no Juve players, not my problem.

Some of Mancini subs are questionable. He subs out Barella as the one of the main creativity source with Tonali. With Tonali, he play three regista Veratti-Jorginho-Tonali.
Chiellini subs also look strange for me

We desperately need up and coming strikers, our midfield I'm not worried about but who can fill the gap up front?

 

[lgorTudor]

I have absolutely no enjoyment for this sport anymore. There's really nothing left in it for me at this point.

Football is fake and gay in its current iteration

Soooo… no Chiesa, no Locatelli, no Bonucci, no Bernaguti and Italy crashes out to an awful side

Italy needs Juve or they suck ass.

Even with Juve, Italy still sucks ass. The whole country needs a reformation when it comes to football, and probably other things as well. The only reason they won the Euros is because Chiellini and Bonucci had the tournament of their lives, but that ship has sailed and the facade is over with. I warned about that in the summer despite the fact I was happy they beat Engerlund.

But Italy is in horrible shape. League sucks, clubs suck in Europe, lack of talent, weak investment, no World Cup again… Italy needs to change now or they risk being left behind, both club and country.

When I was a kid playing hockey there was a story going around cottage country in Ontario that Eric Lindros was talking trash about figure skating and got knocked out by Elvis Stojko

 

[JuvePerSempre10]

No excuse not to beat Macedonia, but let's be honest, the only real killer in attack was Chiesa. I was afraid of this happening with those 3 eternal chokers upfront. It's been said, but this team needs a core of Juventus players who can handle the pressure of these types of games. Our success has always intertwined with the NTs success.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Nothing new, Mancini is a bang average coach who was incredibly lucky to win the Euro 2020

 

[JCK]

That's a job for adults.

Yea, in the 19th century

I can see that. Lindros was just a big pretty boy in hockey pads.

 

[x-japan]

Berardi missed this.

just watched the highlights, he missed at least 3 good chances but this one is just embarassing

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Yep pass on Penardi, we have enough "bad luck" already
