>Can barely beat Greece>Got bodied by Norway>Couldn't even beat Bosnia>Fails to make the World Cup 3 times in a row>People still act like they deserve to be here over other teamsWhy? They fucking suck and need some sort of rebuild to get themselves back in order.
not interested in participating in this mickey mouse tournament
>>155554687Genuinely how the hell did we lose to them back then
>>155555087They say a Topolino tournament over there
>>155554687>Can barely beat Greece>you now remember you have a Greek football teamkek, what have they been up to?
It's the WC now. I don't want to talk about such teams. You're weird
>>155554687To be fair, they would perform better than the likes of Curacao or Haiti.
They only show up when it's time to win
>>155554687>>People still act like they deserve to be here over other teamsno they dont their roster sucks assbarella sucks bastoni sucks dimarco sucks frattesi sucks ....etc the only good players are calafiori and old man spinazzola
please understand that Italy has at least reached the final every 12 years... well except for one.>1970 lost>1982 won>1994 lost>2006 won>2018 didn't qualify>2030 ????
>>155555246Would they have I'm not sureSweden actually did what Italy couldn't and looked firmly on the tier of Bahaman micro states
>>155554687They aren't shit, they are just folding under pressure from weak mind, if they qualified they'd be around quarter finals
>>155555797fuckin switzerland kicked their fuckin ass in the euro wtf are you talking about
>>155554687how did they win the juros if they are useless?
>>155554687There's no rebuilding I'm afraid. As world cup contenders I think Italy are done. One of Italy's strengths was their a great mental game - discipline and ingenuity. Nowadays every good team has discipline and hardcore training, all the great strategies and tactics of football both onfield and off in terms of youth development etc. are well-known and every top side has it. Italy also mastered a different game - one full of rough tackling. What's left now is raw athletic ability and skill and Italy simply doesn't have it anymore, they don't have the population or the interest. Additionally the Italian sense of identity has been decimated by migration, people don't feel immense pride to be Italian and dream of playing for Italy anymore. >"but Euro 2020..."Dead cat bounce. One last hurrah for the last generation that were raised on and still remembered what Italy used to be. They only won the semi-finals and final on penalties and needed extra time against Austria which almost went to penalties as well. Euro 2024 and they lost 2-0 to Switzerland in the round of 16. Sometimes countries go through bad patches but you know they'll be back - Brazil or Netherlands or Spain. I feel like Italy will never be back to world cup contenders. It's sad because of their history at the world cup and Italy has a very strong cultural heritage. But it's over.
It's not a World Cup without ITALY.

"children playing more with them phones than outside!"
