high birthrates = bigger talent pool = higher chance for good players. they need to have more sex.

How is negative birth rate possibile? Do they kill their babies?

there is no such thing as a negative birthrate

birth rate of 1 = women on average have 1 child
birth rate of 0,5 would be every second woman has 1 child
birth rate of 2 would be every woman has 2 children, which would be enough to sustain a society (usually 2,1 to include accidents, illnesses etc.)

The best countries have found a way to adapt to football that suits them technically with the crop they have. Spain found that a regen tiki taka suits the current crop, France found pacey players that breaks counters suits this crop.

Italy have been running the same script of defensive disciplined football since they won the Euros with the old gen without bearing in mind that they have a new gen of players do not like it or have never got the hang of it.

Their fundamental problem is being pussies, that's really everyone's fundamental problem. you can talk about players, coaches, money, youth development, corruption, mismanagement, whatever, it doesn't matter because it's all cope. I've seen it all before, I know it all too well. when you fail repeatedly at something you should otherwise be able to achieve it's usually due to a mental block of some sort, which only happens when you're a bitch. you see Mediterranean people are very emotional, when things are going well that's called passion and it's great but when the going gets tough they let thing get into their heads too easily. all it takes is one failure and then that's a you can think about, it gets in your bones, it creeps into the collective unconscious and it's very hard to shake. that's really the only explanation, the bullshit about players is cope. they obviously have the players, maybe not to win a WC but they're good enough to be there and certainly to beat Bosnia. anyway the solution is very simple, all they gotta do is defaggotize Italian football from the ground up. I could personally take care of this matter for the humble fee of One Billion Yurodollars

Of the three failed qualifications, the second one was purely because of and absurd sequence of bad luck. We didnt qualify despite having an endless undefeated streak.
First and third ones we were just shit and leaded by meme coaches

It happens.
Greece hadn't qualified for a Euros since 1980, but won the thing in 2004. Didn't qualify for the preceding WCs in 98 or 02, and didn't make it to the following WC in 06.

Arguably it's better to be a team that climbs the mountain and wins something before hovering between shit and average like Italy and Greece, rather than just be consistently good, like the English national team that can't win tournaments.

>>154961584
They are contrarian retards behind the times
Even Euro 2021 which they won
In the first 2 matches they played excellent smashing Turkey and Switzerland 3-0 before Mancini started trying to sabotage every match after that by benching Locatelli and starting Verratti-Jorginho static midfield every game and playing like shit

What's worse is that the average schizo shitalian here praised Mancini for this garbage when it was Bonucci and Chiellini who bailed this fraud out.

Shitalians are obsessed with their defensive football identity.
1982 and 2006 WC wins did tremendous damage in that regard. For most of its history before that Italy like offensive football like everyone else and the they adopted this backwards mentality.

The amount of nonsense I’m reading in this thread is unbelievable.

The problems of Italian football can largely be traced back to the Bosman ruling, combined with a series of peculiar fiscal policies (largely unique to Italy) that encouraged clubs to bring in an increasing number of foreign players. This process reached its peak with the 2019 "Growth Decree" (Decreto Crescita) introduced by the Conte government, which granted substantial tax breaks (up to 70%) for players and coaches recruited from abroad.

The issue is that these measures were not accompanied by major investments in infrastructure, youth development, or club sustainability. As a result, Italian football became flooded with third- and fourth-tier foreign players, lowering the overall quality of many squads while pushing Italian players into lower divisions or leaving them with very limited opportunities at the top level.

On top of that, football agents have become increasingly powerful over the years, often acting as shadow executives behind many of Italy’s biggest clubs.

That said, things may finally be starting to change. Another failure to qualify for the World Cup could be the wake-up call that forces Italian football to undertake meaningful reforms.

And to the fool a few comments above: the 2006 Italian national team deserves to be ranked among the greatest international sides of all time. I would place it alongside the World Cup-winning teams of 1998 (Zidane’s France), 2002 (Ronaldo’s Brazil), and 2010 (Iniesta's Spain).

Italy has the dumbest policies concerning foreigners. Right now you restrict citizenship for people with real ties (brazilians, argies, americans) and welcome a bunch of africans and arabs.

In 2006, too, the national team was essentially a direct extension of a corrupt Serie A, led by a crooked agency (GEA) and its stable of players hand picked by Moggi, and yet that team won.
What gives?

Claudio Gentile (WC 82 winner and former under21 winning coach) said that in the past italian players loved hardship, they yearned to play against a better team, Bergomi in 1982 was 18 but he had the face of someone who could rip your heart, same thing for all the 2006 people who really played as a team.
I would say that Conte NT with a shitty team and Eder, Pelle and Giaccherini as starters was the last one with this kind of attitude, as >>154966929 this is the truth, you had Materazzi who literally won a world cup by calling ZIdane's sister a whore.
>>154966986

that national team could play like that because it was being besieged and destroyed from the inside, by the same people who should've backed it all along

>>154967573
true, and also 1982 had very similar premises
>big corruption scandal in the years before the WC
>nobody had any trust
>all the press against the team
>risk getting eliminated in the group stage after 3 draws with Peru, Poland and Cameroon
Paolo Rossi arch in that WC was unbelievable, and 2006 they exactly did it against the world.
Now we have people who cry and are scared to play in Zenica against Bosnia.
still we have criminal potential with Tonali but Gattuso was retarded and did not even call the few good players we had

Months ago I happened to rewatch an old TV interview with Enzo Bearzot, the national team head coach of that year. The format of the show, one of the most-watched programs for years, basically involved creating a sort of profile of the guest (usually a prominent politician) and revealing their human side.
Well, the interviewer spent more than half the interview asking him
>Why does the press hate you so much?
>Why did you call up so many Juventus players?
>Yet there are plenty of other talented players, like Beccalossi for example
>What's your relationship with journalists? Is it true [quotes some nonsense inappropriately reported by the sports press] that this or that person is getting on your nerves?
>Why didn’t you resign upon losing a pre-World Cup friendly match against France?
>Do you feel subservient to Juventus?
He could have asked him a myriad of things, but instead he did nothing but spew nonsense upon nonsense, seasoned with the usual witch hunt to please a mob of dork losers who happened to be football fans.
All of Italy doesn't deserve the few men of stature who have graced Italian football.
