Xhaka made right choice to leave Arsenal for himself but if we had managed to sell Partey last season and kept Xhaka for another? Arteta had Havertz in mind but that really wasn't great. Hindsight but league maybe won with Rice and Xhaka and Havertz up front. All played nearly every game last season.

Im a Brit, born in '83. I grew up watching the Prem and Serie A, to see how far Italy and Serie A has fallen is heartbreaking. How have you gone from Baggio and Del Piero to Scamacca? People used to laugh and say Inzaghi was rubbish, compare him to what you have now... You've gone from Mancini, Conte and Pirlo to nobodies... Its crazy, its like Italy was replaced by some other country...

The managerial suspensions have been ridiculous at the Copa America. The decisions are unappealable, interestingly there's footage of Bielsa and Uruguay coming out to the pitch at Half Time at the same time as Bolivia. Meanwhile the tournament is being played in stadiums and fields that don't meet CONMEBOL's own regulations that are so meticulously being enforced. Having both continental tournaments going on at once, you can glance at the Euros for a moment and realize just how embarrassingly managed and organized everything around this Copa America has been.

Nice one Gab, I'm just so p!ssed off. No excuse will suffice for all those Italy performances. Hope the future looks a bit brighter with Chiesa, Barella, Donarumma, Fratessi and Calafiori. Scamacca can still be good if he gets service, Raspadori and Rutegui can still give something.

Hate to Germany as always 😂😂😂 Germany clearly better than danmark , first 15 minutes was not good ?

Denmark had a goal called back questionably and soft penalty awarded against them moments later. Home team charity.

Yakin the Swiss coach said this: Q: did you expect that it could be such a dominant Swiss team? A: yeah, it's not surprising that their team changed a lot - and we've been observing that - and they were searching for their own identity. not for nothing, they brought in 3 or 4 new players again, again a new system. I expected everything, but not that they play 4 at back. I knew that if they play 4 at back, then we'll destroy them. we knew we'll flatten them. if they play 4 at back, then we'll let them run and that's what happened. Yakin believes Italy's revised setup played into the hands of his team on Saturday, telling SRF: "It's unbelievable what's going on here. We've enjoyed ourselves in every stadium. Big praise to the fans. "I knew if the Italians came with a back four, we would destroy them. Then we would let them run. "Dan [Ndoye] closed down the midfield. His man, [Stephan] El Shaarawy, hardly saw the ball." If everyone else could see it and Spalletti could not, then he is not fit for the job. If Spalletti could see it and refused to adjust, then he is not fit for the job. Either way, he is not fit for the job and should not only QUIT NOW, but leave Italy.

Gab, isn't it your JOB to know how El Sha performed last season? That he had 9 assists and 4 goals in all competitions last year? For years I've been asking what is wrong with ESPN analysts. Now I know they are not real analysts, they are the just fans who say the first thing that comes to their heads.

People keep calling them "defending champions" and while technically correct means absolutely nothing. Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup two years ago, and are just consistently poor.

Yes, but they're poor and not overestimated. England otoh have been poorer and are always somehow one of the favorites. It's bonkers.

[@SocceratesTFS]

All defending champions are called defending champions by definition. No one cares your opinion. They failed because Jorginho failed twice to convert a penalty in subsequent games vs Switzerland and then they failed to convert after 30 shots, 14 on net vs Macedonia, but why was Macedonia's hand ball goal allowed to stand? Why was VAR not used. 37 game winning streak pre and post Euro victory. All of that, confirmation bias, is needed to be ignored to go with your narrative. This round, Spalletti lines them up completely wrong. We lost to a Switzerland playing our style. Hilarious. Italy try to change identity, everyone else adopting their own identity and beating them with it. You know nothing.

@@Victor支犭句Prawira doesn’t matter if it’s intentional the rule states if the arm is in an unatural position and it hits the arm or hand it’s a penalty. Do you walk around with your arm straight out behind you?? Do you sit with your arm straight out behind you??? No you don’t it was in an unatural position. That’s the rule take it up with fifa if you have an issue. Does it make it right??? I say no. I think hand ball should be called if you blantanly do what Saurez did in the WC or if you wave your hand like it’s basketball. This hand ball rule is ridiculous but by the letter of the law and how it’s currently written Germany got a fair penalty

against albania and croatia , ITALY LOOK HALF DECENT IN THESE GAMES AND JORGINHO WAS PLAYING GOOD IN THOSE GAMES, THEN GETS DROPPED TO CRISTANTE AND FAGHOLI VS SWITZERLAND IN THE R16 AND THAT WAS ITALY WORSE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPETITION......SPALLETTI YOU FRAUD

[@SocceratesTFS]

Di Lorenzo culprit on 4 goals. Was owned by Spain. Ball watched Modric. Chiesa had to come back to cover for him vs Switzerland. All goals came from the right side, except the one Dimarco assisted for Albania. It's not a coincidence. Spalletti punished the hero's (sat Zaccagni) and rewarded losers (SES and Di Lorenzo) and played a dog sh!t formation. He had a good shape vs Croatia, and needed to stick to that shape with DI LORENZO OUT. Why Mancini and not Buongiorno who is 100% more mobile? A back line of Buongiorno, Bastoni and Darmian could shut down Switzerland because it would have no space. Cambiaso is a hard worker and would track back defensively. Zaccagni the same on the other side. In the middle plenty of space for Fagioli, Jorginho and Barella. It has work rate and possession capabilities. Chiesa could roam up front with Scammaca or Retegui. Spalletti lined them up for failure and Yakin knew it: Yakin said this about him: Q: did you expect that it could be such a dominant Swiss team? A: yeah, it's not surprising that their team changed a lot - and we've been observing that - and they were searching for their own identity. not for nothing, they brought in 3 or 4 new players again, again a new system.

​@@SocceratesTFSi fully agree. Italy were very vulnerable at the right side of the defense. Time and time DiLorenzo got exposed. Very bad performance

[@SocceratesTFS]

@@imawormbeforeiamman6052 The question then becomes is Spalletti that stupid that he didn't recongize this, or didn't care? Regardless the answer, he's not fit for the job. Vafanculo Spalletti.

this100% the fault of Seria A they have zero interest in developing young player. watch how these young champions u17 and u21 get destroyed . Cauliflore was a fluke. we are and have been a terrible team for awhile no matter who the coach is

[@houzoud2416]

Don't expect to much from u17 and u19 when they grow old . Nigeria won u17 world cup 4 times. Italy didn't won u17 with the world cup winners 2006 and 82

[@SocceratesTFS]

What is your basis for saying Calafiori is a fluke? The first sentence shows how stew pid you are. Italy is U17, and U19 European champions at the moment. Developing talent is fine. Nourishing it in Serie A is not because there is a lot of garbage being brought in from elsewhere. Italy has become the welfare state for every other country, especially Africa and Eastern Europe. We polish their garbage.
