Why aren’t they in the World Cup?
They care more about F1 and MotoGP now.

>>155271953who's that whore
>>155268158Germany, Norway, Bosnia (they didn't really lose here).
int*er """players""" are to blame. no surprise there
>>155268158they should've replaced iran
>>155268158We lost on purpose because orange man bad or something, that's the cope I think
>>155268158They lost to 1/6th of a country
>>155268158Because they have no money, and they cant be bothered to invest in youth.
>>155268158The top priority of our football association is to act as a comprehensive shield against any fiscal, financial, or political misdeeds committed by Inter and Roma in order to protect these two clubs from the gargantuan debt they have been carrying for decades; these two clubs, in a normal country with properly enforced financial regulations on the sporting side, would have gone bankrupt three times in the last twenty years. The leadership of AIA (the Italian Referees' Association) is currently investigation by the Financial Police for complicity in sports fraud and match-fixing for a very specific reason.With that in mind, it's easy to see why the competitiveness of the national team may have plummeted over the years.
They're a tennis country now
>>155268158
Corruption.They keep selecting shitty players
>>155268158because even their middling teams look like this

I have faith that 2030 will be Italy's year. Since 1970, despite wins and losses, they have all went to the finals EVERY 12 YEARS. They can do it.
Italians don't have the same influence they had in the past, sadly

>>155281147lose weight, fatass
>>155281494>Port kingpin called Trafficantelel
>>155278734Wouldn't that be good for their league though? It seems like a bunch of international players want to play there, like the EPL. It's not like EPL teams are only full of players from england.
>>155268158Our players are SCARED BITCHES WITH SUB 70 IQsOur managers are OLD JURASSIC FRAUDSThe whole system would rather collapse on itself than accept that there's something wrong with how things are run and try to fix it
>>155281494No fucking way a mafia guy was actually called Trafficante (trafficker)that's hilarious
>>155281087>>155281959context about the picture: the squad is Como's, a small plastic football phoenix club taken over by some indonesia tycoons who poured hundreds of millions into the team. the club reached the top flight for the first time a few years ago. as you can see, they splashed the cash on players coming from every single part of the world except italian ones, which kinda defeats the point of a domestic league. as of now, they've been cleverly circumventing the rules that require a minimum number of players developed through the club's youth system (homegrown quotas) and they have no intention of doing any of this unless forced to
>>155281494Why Kansas City doesnt belong to Kansas?
>>155282030This.Their solution to these problems is bombarding us with Keep Racism Out, Stop Piracy, pink shoes, retarded kits, and chinese names on player jerseys.Fuck Serie A. It's pure unadulterated corporate plastic at this point
>>155268158In 2022 it was Jorginho's fault, that shitter missed 2 penaltiesin 2026 it was largely Bastoni's fault, 11vs11 that match would've gone differentlyEither way our defense is embarrassing now, and we've always had a strong defense historically
>>155268569No they're a tennis nation now.
>>155282221Nuh uh we're a baseball nation now
>>155268158A few reasons: >Football used to be different, you could get away with a lot more in terms of tackling. Italy had perfected the art the way it was, all their heroes and legends had tackled that way. When you can't do those things anymore it becomes a different game. >The match-fixing scandal caused major lack of trust. Actions like relegating Juventus to Serie B meant they would now be steamrolling Serie B teams every week and were just bizarre to the normal fan. As good as it is to punish people, you don't want to highlight massive mistakes. These incursions on the domestic game which went from being the best in the world at one point to very far down were massively disruptive to player development and general interest and money in the game. >Due to their geographical position have been hit with migration far worse than most of Europe. This has caused a major general depression and nihilism throughout the country, it's no longer the great, proud, beautiful nation it used to be. Not trying to be /pol/, just trying to give an honest answer, this truly depressed people's souls and spirits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHXf79IiIkU
>>155282112Let's be honest on something though.They're buying foreigner players because there aren't many (available) Italian players that fit the system Fabregas, the manager, wants to play.A more fitting example would be Udinese, I think.
>>155282123>kansas river named first>kansas city is located where the kansas river meets the missouri river, mostly in missouri since people were traveling east to west and stopped before crossing the river (also it was a state much earlier so they got to vote n make local laws n shiet instead of being federal bitches)>state of kansas named for the kansas river
>>155282123The city (named after the river) existed before the nearby state did.To make it more confusing, there's a suburb of Kansas City on the Kansas side also called Kansas City, which is where the MLS team plays.
>>155268158boycotted it since >we stand with our eastern Mediterranean brothers
>>155268158They dove themselves into the abyss if you catch my drift
>>155282591to play what, 4-2-3-1 possession slop over-reliant on touches in central spaces and halfspaces? there are loads of players in the smaller teams and youth leagues playing this way since at least 2015, when the first technical reforms proposed by sacchi were introduced at the FIGC technical centers. now i understand that italian players’ prices tend to be inflated because of the way the domestic market is structured, but it’s inconceivable that a serie a club would refuse to sign italian players unless forced to do so by UEFA regulations/lists only to end up, over the course of eight years, with just one mediocre defender and a third-string goalkeeper who sits on the stands every sunday. there's just no will to do it.como is the epitome of the plastic culture that pervades modern football: a club that prefers to act as a doormat feeder club, a nursery for the generic youth fodder of big european clubs like real madrid, rather than investing in the local community. and every idiot who tries to defend a spontaneous miscarriage like this deserves to see a 128-team world cup every two years.
