really? That doesn't sound true 
Doesn't come out clearly whether he would've said yes, but they never asked him
Rizzoli has lost it completely over the past few years.

Yes, FIFA has done a really good job adapting their refereeing standards in these cases. There's really just no need for these challenges on 50/50 balls. These are not crucial moments in the game where some leeway should be allowed, like maybe shirt pulling on corners or something.
It's just a loose ball in midfield that happens 100 times a game and yet you could break your leg going for it? It seems the risk/reward of those challenges is not balanced.

There was some talk of Blind getting sacked before the Italy game too.

For the friendly Barzagli left the team citing "personal matters". Rugani and Romagnoli are expected to start, maybe Bonucci will play for 1 of them. Gagliardini and Verratti in the middle. Donnarumma in goal. In attack probably Sansone will be there and Petagna over Immobile.
