"Nothing happened yesterday" the most crystal clear answer ever
I can't get over his "Italy was underdogs in the EUROS," but they were favorites behind France.
@@Birick nah, italy were the underdogs, france, Germany, Portugal, england, Belgium were the major favourites. Spain was also close. But not many gave italy a chance to win it
@@harryshavingatoty4229 that was before the tournament, and goodness mainland Europe can't all be favorites... But all that matters now is Qatar.
@Alessandro Andreas 💯
This is why I respect Del Piero. He speaks the blunt truth and doesn't make excuses or overhype Italy. I remember during the Euros he was openly saying Italy don't have top level players and it would be Mancini miracle if they won. Italy don't have good enough players old or young to sustain success because they are not producing the right type of players to play this moderns style of football, because Italy traditionally has been more about defending and counter-attacking and now football is proactive pressing and attacking and you need highly athletic and technical players and Italy cannot produce them to a high level.
Same for Spain, they play their boring passing game which is obsolete because of the quick transitions in the modern game 🤷🏻♂️
The best teams who play a high defensive line with a upward press are Bayern and Liverpool
@@justadreamerforgood69 But Spain have much better players than Italy and have players like Torres, Traore, Fatti Gavi and Pedri who can play that style. Italy neither have the type of players or the quality.
Q
@@Delboy0
Yeah Torres and Traore are quick players but Traore hardly plays for Spain. Enrique prefers Danny Olmo 🤦🏻♂️
Regardless, Spain have Busquets the slowest player in the pitch who always gets caught out on a high press or counter attacks
@@justadreamerforgood69 Disagree, anything in football can work with the right personel and ideology. When you look at the history of football, it's all cyclical or variations of cyclically similar things. The game started with 3 / 5 back formations, they went out of fashion and now they're back. The game started out with heavy defensive leanings, that faded out when people like Sacchi, Lobanovskyi masterminded counter and high pressing(which also had a recent revival because of Ralf Rangnick) and people like Mou, Simeone, Conte brought back the hard working defensive style, wing backs becoming full backs and then full backs becoming wing backs again etc... There's too many examples to name but I truly believe that there isn't one or only a handful of ways to win championships in football, irregardless of it being the past or the modern day. I think there are too many variables to say only high line pressing is the only way to beat top teams.
You can see the pain of the Italian people through Del Pieros expression.
What a sad moment of not having them in the n cup 🇮🇹 🥺
Suffer in your jocks 🤌
A tragedy
But remember Italy still have 6 major trophies in the cabinet, try and change that!! How many do England have...only 1, says it all!!
@Shredder i will miss immobile faking getting fouled ^^
del Piero's voice broke my heart
Italy has not been the same since the Spinazzola injury. Even in the last few games of the Euros they were not as creative offensively and had to squeak by Spain and England on penalties in those games.
Spinazzola does not change the performance of the team, it is all the players that are not good.
@@capresti3537 you are incorrect!
@@capresti3537 incorrect we deadly missed him!!! Not only in Italy but i am also a roma fan we miss him so much
Sure, Spinazzola is Messi or Ronaldo level… 🤦🏻♂️ I guess no clubs other than Roma could see that for 10 years.
@@RobertSmith-up9rz right because that's the claim that was made...way to draw a false equivalency! Keep it up! 🤦♂️
Italy needs to create new deadly foward like Del Piero, Vieri, Inzaghi, Totti.
And Baggio.
Italy used to have many great players in the past like Baresi, maldini, baggio, totti etc.
@@louislim2004 yes
Players like that dont exist anymore
No one saying anything about having 4 Brazilians(Jorginho, João Pedro, Emerson, Luiz Felipe) in their squad. I think that's a sign of not having confidence in your own youth.
Those are the guys who couldn’t make it to the Brazilian national team.
I dont know why they put Brazilians in an Italian team. Italy is not Brazil.
They're Italian. Doesn't matter where they're born. Look at the French!!!!
@@A_DR that is totally not the same thing. French players of African descent are still French and speak French as a native tongue. These guys are born, and more importantly, RAISED in Brazil, Brazilian Portuguese is their native tongue. Their background is mostly Portuguese and Spanish and West African, Emerson has of a quarter Italian heritage but that's about it.
@@geneberrocal3220 but they're italian ffs!
It's crazy to think that Italy haven't played a World Cup game in the knockout stage since 2006, yet were European champions just 9 months ago!
That's tragedy
That’s because Italy hasn’t had a top player since that 2006 generation. Last Summer’s win is a total accident.
@@RobertSmith-up9rz it wasn’t a total accident. that italian team that won the euros could’ve beaten every single team in that tournament.
@@antonioiapicca6575 england didn't play well finals, if we had an attacking coach, we could have thrashed Italy in the finals.
@@hulk8384 what is your point? if italy had a stronger attack then we could’ve thrashed England. like it’s pretty obvious if you had a stronger team you could’ve won. San Marino could beat brazil if they had an amazing team.
Hopefully this teaches our league and country to be more modern in every aspect. Only a couple clubs have been trying to do that like Inter, Milan and etc.
Atalanta would you agree?
@@Bgobey Yes
@@CriusXI and juventus?
Napoli actually revolutionized that thanks to SARRI BALL, if anything they was the first to push forward in modern day football for italy, other teams followed but a couple years later smh 🤦🏻♂️
Italy needs a system change
Del Piero is being all articulate and calm about this, but deep down, we know that he's screaming from inside. But he's right: Italian football needs to make a comeback.
We need FIGC to actually change the youth sector and the way clubs view Italian players... But since we're Italians this won't happen until the money stops flowing.
too many foreigners in serie A and lack of italian talents made it like that
Yep reconstruct the youth development. The talent coming up the ranks is just not there compared to other countries. I pray 🙏 for my Italy 🇮🇹
I thought there was already a bright young generation of gifted Italian players? Tonali, Scamacca, Donnaruma etc...
@@Iron-Bridge scammaca is average. Donnarumma, and tonali are good. Still missing a rebuild of defense and a clinical striker. Chiesa is good but he's been hurt. Team needs a rebuild. It can't compete with Portugal France England Spain. The depth and talent of their squads is on a different level
@@lucacundo Italy have not done a good job of nurturing talent across the board. Its crazy how careless Italy have been in that regard
@@coachhbosoccer it is not 4 years wasted, it lacked progression of the structure.
@@lucacundo how is Scamacca average exactly when he hasn’t even been given a chance for Italy yet and is having a great season with Sassuolo?
I respectfully disagree with our legend del Piero. We could have kept playing for 10 years against north Macedonia and we couldn’t have scored. Think about the real issue here. Are you genuinely saying that Italy doesn’t have a talent pool capable of winning games against Northern Ireland , Bulgaria, Switzerland? It isn’t about talent pool. It’s about keeping players who got a belly full last year and had downed tools.
immobile has got to be the worst national team striker in history, yet hes greatest Lazio goal scorer/striker in history ???.
Mancini’s fault 100% with his personnel decisions. Immobile and Berardi proved unreliable even in the Euros. Barella was tired from the start
And your selection would be?
Zaniolo should have played
@@amrdaous Scamacca, Raspadori, and Pellegrini up top instead of Immobile, Insigne, and Berardi. And I’d replace Barella with Tonali. Also would’ve called up Locatelli. Immobile would’ve never gotten the call up.
@@farhansarkar7377 as a Roma fan Im unsure about this. True he has tons of athleticism and talent but he’s in bad form right now. That being said, he would’ve performed better than Immobile or Berardi
Immobile is generally useless for individual key games where he has to be clutch. He pads his goalscoring over many games. Berardi was simply unreliable yesterday. Technically poor for some reason. Insigne has lost his form and become sloppy. Barella is normally good but he is still recovering. Veratti was good but it's no point if you don't have someone who can bury chances. Jorginho blows hot and cold and is quite a limited player once you take away his so called set piece threat. And even that failed him at key moments in the qualifiers.
" We dont have a team in champions league final since 2010 "
(Del piero )
Wrong.
Juve made 2 finals after that. One with barcelona and one with real madrid.
How can the most important juve player of all time make such blunder ?
What Italy need is Del Piero to put on his boots again
honestly if we managed to get the 2006 squad back together, we could probably at least qualify for a world cup. And that's saying something...
Time to resume career for Del Piero, Nesta, Totti, Pirlo, Gattuso and others.
I feel like it’s reductive to mention Bonucci and Chiellini. I felt as if Bastoni and Mancini did well, where I don’t feel it’s reductive is to mention the front three.
Insigne in all the games I’ve watched him play for Italy, he’s never been the player that his talent allows him to be, Berardi tried and I can’t fault him for that but he should’ve scored, and finally, the less said about Immobile the better. Enough with Insigne and enough with Immobile, now more than ever players like Raspadori and Scamacca need to step up and take up the mantle if not this will happen again.
Few of the biggest problems with italy is most players are 28/29 above and pretty slow and their isn’t too much young talent especially it coming through clubs in Italy and unlike some other big countries in Europe players leave for different leagues so there is more choice so most of italy’s national team who gets called up are playing in serie A and ain’t been the greatest league for some time and don’t think they can keep up too well with the modern game
28 and 29 is not old so your makes no sense. Italy just don't have enough talent. Simple as that
@@Eyeyorot BS. They have talent, but missing key players in games
@@lexkanyima2195 If Italy needs those key players to beat North Macedonia they 100% dont deserve to go the World Cup. Period
@@Eyeyorot why ?
@@lexkanyima2195 Are u dense?
Balotelli would have scored
Balotelli is a former player, don't joke.
OMG...how pathetic is Italy that we are talking about this guy?!?
@@shug2795 Balotelli has the cleaning strike on him
I like how he said “ but this is the truth and we can’t hide from them” and then he corrected to “it”🤣
More Italian players need to be playing at the top teams in England, Spain and Germany imo.. Milan and Inter aren't really on that level.. Juventus are the only BIG team in Italy for the past decade
You make it sound like Italians play for the top Italian teams. They don't. Too many foreigners not enough home grown talent anymore
Exactly! Players like Raspadori, Berardi & Rugani have offers from PL now, yet they're waiting for Juventus! Utter nonsense!!
Big team is how losers cope
It's a respectable argument. Though I wonder if the other extreme when Italy under Conte had the likes of limited players like Graziano Pelle ( Southampton), Emme Gacchierini ( Sunderland), Simone Zaza ( Juventus) in their squad is how we really want to go.
Mancini's players pound for pound are better quality players but somehow did not deliver.
Juventus are in 4th. Both Milan teams are “big”. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
That’s an understatement
Immobile, just can''t trust this guy. Rather have Balotelli than him.
Absolutely. Immobile sucks
Immobile isn't a pacy kind of forward to begin with and now his lack of pace is clearly showing 💯
However blaming him is stupid. Beradi and Pellegrini missed sitters too
@@justadreamerforgood69 yes
Gab is intelligent and knowledgeable but one of his blind spots is youth develop, a topic on which he is hopelessly, hilariously ignorant. I remember him saying that all of the academies do the same things so developing great players is basically just a lottery. Expect him to come out and say that the talk of Italy restructuring youth developing is nonsense and reactionary.
Gareth Bale for Wales : michael jordan
Gareth Bale for Real Madrid : tiger woods
106 goals and 67 assists in 256 matches for Real Madrid including crucial performances when they made history winning three Champions League in a row.
@@logirex exactly
Del Piero is a legend both on the field and in his analysis.
Give more chance to young defender like bastoni, mancini oe rugani, Italy cant keep playing bonucci, chellini, acerbi anymore
Problem is goalscoring not conceding. Ciro immobile, belotti, berardi, doesn't score goals and zaniolo who was in great form was not even on bench.
the biggest 2 problems: NO CHIESA, and Mancini's persistence with the awful Immobile
Look, I perfectly remember that Chiesa played v Bulgaria, Switzerland and Northern Ireland before his injury, but despite that they still went to playoffs because nobody was able to score anymore, neither overrated Chiesa mostly v Northern Ireland!
They just need Chiesa, Balotelli, and Spinazzola back in the line-up
Nahh they still would of lost
@@rowland5951 Na men Balotelli is a goal getter
The greatest Italian player of all time.
I love you king Alex 👑🏁
Absolutely, one of the greatest full stop.
Tell me a single Italian world class forward especially striker in the last 10 years. All they needed was, a finisher in the match against north Macedonia.
Shows you how bad England is.
lol
2:45 "If we play 10 more times we'll win 10 more times" Really? dude don't be funny!
The previous time Italy played against Macedonia (in Italy) it finished 1-1 and in Macedonia you won 2-3 with a goal in the very last minute. (After losing 2-1)
So the last 3 matches were hard and close (one draw, and two victories for each team with last minute goals). So based on that, how can you be so sure that if you play you'll win 10 more times? This just shows how some football "authorities" like Del Piero can sometimes talk nonsese.
Del Piero is scrambling for answers. Understandable, given the ordinary performance that led to this shocking result. But he is honest in his assessment. He understands the failures are deep in the team. This said, it is still perplexing that they could win the Euros & not qualify for the WC.
Last minutes goals are common,,,seems like they did not know it
Jorginho is a show boat. Italy needs to develop two Pogba esque types that are hard to knock off the ball in midfield who can make long passes and be dangerous scoring options from a distance. You have Chiesa who can be on the far right or left side when he is healthy. You also need clinical strikers.
Moise Kean is a good prospect that needs more play time.
Upgrade the D as well.
My formation would be the following:
2 strikers (Kean, Scamacca)
3 midfielders (Lorenzo Pellegrini, Zaniolo, Chiesa) Chiesa can act as a bursting mid/striker hybrid. While we wait for Chiesa have Balotelli play on the right side.
5 defenders (1 of which plays up a bit which would be Barella) Barella, Mancini, Bastoni, Rugani, De Sciglio)
goalie
The Macedonians were second in their group, as were the Italians in theirs. In this cycle, they beat the Germans on the road, and I think they deserve respect, not underestimation. Football is not a transfer mark, but people of flesh and blood. All previous results today do not play "hic rhodus hic salta".
Forward Macedonians, direction Qatar.
That was the luckiest win I've ever seen
Too much nonsensical talk about Mancini and whether he is to blame, absolutely not. Mancini had the right strategy, it created 65% possession, it created 32 goal scoring opportunities, it limited the opposition to just 4 goal attempts and he is a world class manager who led the team to a Euro Championship. The problem against Nth Macedonia was the players and their lack of execution of the strategy in the final third of the field. Football is a simple game, put the ball in the back of the net more times than your opposition and you win. It doesn't matter what type of formation you play, whether you have 90% possession, whether you have all the top players, have 50 shots on goal or what style you play (tiki taka, geggenpress, etc.), it all still comes down to put the ball in the net. I use the analogy of boxing, you can be a bad boxer but all it takes is one good punch to knockout even the best opponent, just ask Mike Tyson about James Buster Douglas!
Exactly he put guys that got 30 shots. He doesnt score goals thats the player's job. He did everything right, his players couldnt finish
Exactly, it's behind my comprehension how they can scapegoat mancini
@@piggy8761 Exactly
Alex is right on all counts, an excellent analysis. There are 2 other key issues with Italian football. One of them he touched on. Whenever an Italian national team delivers a title or goes close, the desire, rather than grow (having had the taste of success) diminishes - and markedly. It has been replicated time and again. The 1982 WC winning squad fell apart in the Euro 84 qualifiers and were legless in 86. The 94 WC r/up were bounced out of Euro 96 in the group stage. The 2006 WC winners were battlers in Euro 2008 and a disaster at WC 2010. And that leads us to the other stark failure - not mutually exclusive - managers sticking with those who have delivered a title out of some kind of warped loyalty, irrespective of their form. From Bearzot to Sacchi to Lippi ... and now Mancini. They are either not brave enough or simply do not know how to refresh and restart and, frankly, often don't have the cattle.
Excellent 👌
I like Kay in this avatar. She just wants to get all the answers we all want to get and she asks them. Ale 👍🏻
Current Italian players are no good. Lack passion and skill, they are not technical and strategic like 90's players. Italy needs new players and new coach, whole team needs to be redone.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Italy needs to invest in its youth program.
They need to follow the German notebook from 16 years ago.
Put a top coach in charge of the youth program to recruit and nurture talent.
They only focused on temporary success
Where is Craig Burley ?🙄🧐
HONEST and BRUTAL TRUTH FROM
MR.DEL PIERO !!!
Ale, is the consummate gentleman. It must be SO hard for a player with a past as rich as his to have to make excuses for the pathetic semblance that is today's Italian football. My gosh...I think he would have taken a kick in the jewels a lot easier!! He is SO removed from what recently transpired. Yes, and to quote Ale, "This is one of MANY issues...." As I tried to share, "Italy's issues are many, from their youth development programs, Serie A - A.K.A. acting school, their boring and completely predictable defense coupled with a complete lack of offensive creativity/poise. Serie A officials are...."creative". Today's Italy can't even get ONE squad in the final 16 of the UCL, and now have missed not one but two World Cup qualifiers. Let's make excuses so that we can miss another one in 4 years. ....Vergogna!!!
Hereafter, if a foreign(European) club come calling for an Italian player, they better take the opportunity, go and improve themselves there!!! This idea of 'waiting for Juve' or hanging around in SerieA won't serve them long!!! 👍
yes it will until the next Euro! LOL
The Italy teenager with the most minutes in Series A is capped tied with USMNT already. That kinda says everything about youth development in Italy. They got talent I'm sure of that but is it being given the oppuntinies and chances other nations and leagues give teens.
But it will happening
Chiellini and bonucci are the most important players for 🇮🇹Italy
The only Italian who could play in the World Cup is Lapadula in the Peruvian National Team. If they win in June 2022 Italy somehow will be still present... Lapadula admires Delpiero and actually Lapadula plays exactly the same as Del Piero.
It's the effects of peoples who hypes assists&pre-assists, ⚽possessions over goal scoring, and here is the answer you cannot compare goal as same level to those assists, possessions or chances created, goal is goal, top priority in football is scoring goals....
Italy are the Emma Raducanu of football.
😂😂
Italy were really missing Spinazolla and Chiesa.. we also need a real finisher. Immobile isn’t good enough. The worst striker Italy have ever had.
Yep, he isn’t very mobile.

And Roma won the Conference League after Inter Milan's UCL and club world cup wins. I know it's not the UCL but it's always an international trophy
Should have brought Super Mario Ballerteli
His English has greatly improved.
the problem is the same with all old organizations..the old heads of the structure don't know when to walk away because they have been there wayyyy too long..From the top to the bottom..They are all about not accepting change and "what's in it for me"? They are not in it for the right reasons..The development of the program must always improve and not stay stagnant just as the old players on the field..Italy's structure must get out of it's own way and allow progress..stop with the stadium improvement obstacles..ALL organizations have people that get in the way of progress and change..This prevents young new thinkers to get involved because the "old guy" still wants to be relevant..it's nauseating
Italy was preparing for final with portugal just like city prepared for semifinal against Bayern in 2020 - but macedonia puts Lyon shirts and make them cry.
This is why he will ALWAYS be a Juventus captain. Praises success, but never sugarcoats when failure.
The saddest thing is that an entire generation of Italian kids nowadays will lose the hopes and emotion of seeing gli azzzurri play at a world cup or advancing the group stage. If you're an italian bambino born in 2006 and Italy qualifies for 2026, you'd be 20 years old and in case for the latter, If you were born in 2014, then you'd be 12 in 2026.
I was born in 2006 lol, tho i am not an azzuri fan
I was born in 2006 and i know the problem
what folks arent saying is that italian football was so corrupt and laundered so much money, there hasn't been proper investment in player development from pro to youth level, you gotta pay to win.
Yeah? What’s Englands excuse for not winning anything since 66’
@@marcodiflumeri4404 there's actually a legit funny explanation for that. apparently a british statistician, charles reep in the 50s was doing analytics and found that playing the long ball created more scoring chances. british football started and that became their philosophy for decades. funny thing was he made a mistake in his calculations, which meant he was wrong about the long ball. at least the catenaccio was sound.
@@naughtybynature999 Agreed there. Italy has the quality, what they lack is the mentality at times. Also 3 man midfield of Jorginho and Verratti who play the same and don’t challenge players 1v1 will hurt you in games where teams play 11 man brick wall. Nonetheless they should have came through with a win, even if it did come down to a few missed pks vs Switzerland… Also let’s no forget many major teams are starting to lose against weaker international teams. Italy needs readjustments, they’re not as doomed as people make it seem. If only there was this hysteria when France lost vs Switzerland
Pure class from ADP. Nothing but the truth
ESPN: Let's call Del Piero, but do we have the number for hiding under a rock?
Change everything, from the top 🔝 to the bottom. Da cambiare tutto 😂
I still don't understand why Balotelli was left off the team. Put him on the bench at least... by the 60 minute mark when you saw you weren't cashing in on all the chances, PUT HIM IN....
Del Piero: It's a f*ckin DISGWAYCEEE... 🤬
Chiellini was reminding every year in champions league play offs why he shouldnt longer play in national team.
Yes they won the Euros but I think italian soccer has been decaying for years , the talent pipeline seems bare at times , also séries A doesn't have the same gravitas it used to have ....
They will do better in 2026 may be like 2006. Remember France in 1994. In the last 10 secs they lost at home to Bulgaria and were out of the world Cup. Then 1998 we all know what happened.
Eh yeah a similar thing may happen to Italy who knows!
6:38 "reconstruct the youth development". That is the real way to save Italian football. I just wonder if Italian "Managers" are willing to do it. They talked a lot in 2018 after the world cup qualifying was missing, but nothing has been made. I am worried they will change nothing. This is typical of Italian politicians and managers, an absolute disgrace for Italy
Mancini wasn’t thinking straight and that cost us everything . Balotelli should’ve been put in, as well as - scamaca , zaniolo, raspadori , Berardi was fine , Verratti was class . Everyone else was terrible . Such a sad night
To not qualify for two World Cup's on the bounce is unforgivable. Italy should be in every major tournament especially the WC. Embarrassing.
Berardi's pathetic attempt at the open goal summed it all up ! TOOTHLESS ! (Italy Fan)
if jorginho scored one of his penalties against switzerland, they wouldve qualified without going to the play offs
Dont worry Italy, u always have Argentina because they are Italian too😎😎😎
No your not the native Indian blood in Argentina the nettive argentinians don't down play them discredit them and underplay them .ridiculous point
Biggest dissapointment in football is Italy playing so average after having played so well last year, was really looking forward to see them in world cup
The problem is the clubs in Serie A sign’s international players to play instead of developing their own countrymen.
The Italy teen with the most minutes in Series A this season is an American dual nat developed in the US that kinda says it all.
I really love and respect del piero so much that I really feel very sad for italy's disqualification from the world cup. because, for me, this is a really bad moment for the Azzuri and italian football. because, italy need some attacking and defensive talents and they need to work hard to earn a spot for the world cup. I praise del piero for being honest and saying the truth . I feel sorry for him so much. Italy need to invent new tactics and need to improve on attack and defense.I except alot from midfielders like verrati, jorginho or barella to create chances and start attacks. I also expect some really good talents like scamaaca or raspadori in italy's striker role to finish and attack . All im saying is that we need to be patient and i hope that they will qualify for the world cup in 2026 and italian football will dominate Europe and the wrold in the near future.
LOVE YOU🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😘😘😘😘☺☺☺☺☺
Da quando si è infortunato Spinazzola è stato il festival dei rigori e dei pareggi. E questo è un dato di fatto.
Who wants to digest barf....
Not really missing Italy in the wc. As Del Piero said, italy doesn't have top players like other countries, even in the champions league and europe league they are doing pretty bad since years.
4-time World cup chwmpions Italy must be in every competition but nonetheless North Macedonia deserved it
Whwre even is North Macadamia, marvel multiverse?
The problem is that Italian players are made of glass-you breathe on them and they get injured. Worst of all, their injuries keep them out for months and months at a time. Zaniolo was hurt for a year. Chiesa is out for a few months. Spinnazola is hurt. Di Lorenzo is hurt. Any one else see a pattern??? These guys are supposed to be young and healthy; these injuries shouldn’t be happening

Italy were on a long and historic unbeaten run in the euros, saying the euros were fluke is illogical and not fair. they just switched off after euros and started taking the results for granted.
Couldn't finish , Macedonia defended well and were compact . They took their chance and Donna should've done better with that shot . Simple . Don't overeact with Mancini . Italian football always chose their favourites and has always been corrupt and Del Piero knows this .
Your absolutely correct but most Italian fans don’t realize that. For some reason Italy is not producing young players.
Exactly. If you watch him on that goal, he reacted too slow. That ball shouldn't have gone in. He , in my opinion, is overrated. I'm done with italian soccer. For 16 years since 06, they have been an embarrassment.

Also, Mancini leaving out (fireball Castrovilli) and leaving out Balotelli who could have played 30 good minutes. Give him 3 chances out of the 32 shots and he would probably have scored.
@Juve No wonder
@Juve We probably have the best midfield in the world and defense is not bad at all either. It surely is the scoring problem. By the way, I'm a Juve fan as well
@Juve I didn't see that. I will cheqck it out
@Juve just saw it. I noticed a delay in reaction before the goal and now I see why
Sassuolo who are 10th in the league should not be our front three.
How can you win the euro cup and loose to disqualify from a country to un til that moment nobody knew about macedonia.....
Don’t worry my friend from Italy, next World Cup we gonna have more countries to play! No more 32
And maybe Infantino in the future we gonna put more and more and more..so do not worry
Uefa is gonna have only 3 more spots, and teams in uefa are getting better. So it will still not be very easy to qualify. The likes of Norway, Ireland, and Czech can shock some big nations.
those 2 Messi fan boys probably didn't like the fact Del Piero said Portugal has better players and would have beaten Italy anyway.
Wait ,
North Macedonia defeated Italy --1
Italy defeated England --2
From equations 1 & 2 ,
North Macedonia > England .
So that means North Macedonia is better than England cuz the Maths can't be wrong , right ????
I won't watch italy if belotti emerson and immobile play..
Guardiola should be the next Italy coach
He won't manage a national team in the near future
