[Badass J Elkann]

Any confirmation any abete's resignation? He is and has been Italy's cancer in recent years

 

[AndreaCristiano]

so whose the next coach, Spaletti, Mancini or Allegri? what is this with Albertini the president?

Nothing will change whoever replaces him.

yea hes out

Prandelli seems really pissed about Balotelli.

That will depend on who actually replaces him. I hope to see someone who realises the problems the italian game is facing and resolves it rather than sticking heads in the sand pretending everything is fine

yea hes out

Good. Thats a start

I would be as well. Honestly I think this whole class of players needs to be evaluated and maybe the under 21 team should be the team playing in the Euro's

Cesare Prandelli explained his Italy resignation, noting Mario Balotelli was “part of the project” that failed.

“If we didn’t score goals, then it means we have certain structural limitations. The responsibility is mine, with choices, tactics and substitutions,” said Prandelli in a Press conference.

“The technical project did not work and therefore I take responsibility for that.”

“We had what was needed to do better and I put on four strikers, but we still didn’t create scoring opportunities. In these situations, there is physicality needed as well as quality.

“In terms of fitness preparation, we knew it would be difficult to find the same sharpness as the South and Central American teams. Uruguay and Costa Rica were clearly quicker and were first to every ball. It worked against England, but not the other two teams.”

Clear as freakin' daylight

Hopefully, but I don't think anything will change until new owners with money come to Italy.

Man do I feel so deflated. We honestly should have won this group. Prandelli did the typical Italian thing though, bringing players like Motta and fucking Parolo, leaving Rossi home. But even the players themselves are to blame. So little passion from some of them, they didn't look like they wanted it at all. In 2010 when they were all veterans who have now won it all it was somewhat understandable, but this year they were playing to restore Italy's honor and pride, they embarrassed themselves and the country.again though, prandelli has no excuses. What the fuck kind of substitutions were those today? He gave the game away with those, you could see the momentum change so quickly. Cassano is fucking useless, especially if you an to defend and counter. What kind of decision is that? I'm a big balotelli fan, I even got is jersey this year, but now its time to to show him some dicepline, we've all had enough. Fuck. Absolutely disgraceful, and there's no improvement in sight. I'm so tired of Italy in general, especially after that champions league/ Europa league performance too. No more Italian coaches for the nt or juve, no more old Italian players for juve. Even the young ones are mostly hopeless.

I dont really know much abouy his intentions or politics but it was clear that when baggio was given a role in the set up to later resign because abete was being a senile prick it was clear that he had to go in order for the league and nation to progress

Yes! total youth movement! Like Germany did in the mid 2000s, like France is doing now!

Its not even that but the youth development is wrong too. The big clubs despite the lack of money wont even trust their youth

i started a thread about what coach should run the Azzuri next but I don't see it. I put the three names floating around and wondered if anyone else wanted some other coach ala Vialli etc

 

[Dostoevsky]

This was probably last big match for Pirlo? If so then it really sucks.
