>once one the most powerful teams in the sport>hasn't qualified in the last 3 world cupshow powerful are they gonna be when they show up again? I imagine they'll have a roster full of young lads hungry for victory. I kinda of expect something similar to happen with brazil too. They just don't have the magic they used to have.
the only youngster we have is an overhyped (sf)inter player so i wouldnt bet on it my friend
I really expected more from them after their Euro win. The behind the scenes must be pretty nasty.
>>155643619>kids born after 2010 do not remember seeing Italy at the WC Truly the end times
>>155643676didn't they have a quite characteristic defense-heavy playstyle?
>>155643619Even if technically they've been shit, they still won a Euros. Must be nice being shit and still winning a major trophy.
>>155643739You mean historically? The catenaccio?
They aren’t even bad they’re better than at least half the teams that qualified
>>155643772no idea, just remember hearing about it
>>155643619Think Turkey this year but even bigger arse kissing before the tournament
>>155643619not only we are facing a demographic crisis but we are constantly losing population, a lot of the younger people leaveat least for now we haven't completely ngubu-fied like france, so we lack natives and also africansthose times of the past won't come back
>>155645781What the heck even goes on in Italia, homosexualists drinking cappuccino?
>>155643807Yes, they are traditionally a great defending team
>>155645781It will be completely over once you ngubufy.Remember than Kean cost you this World Cup.
>>155646286from what i've gathered it's Disneyland for tourists and italians work shit jobs and eat olives
>>155643655time to import ngbus
>>155646547and by that i mean it's like spain but a little better
>>155646547It really do be like that. No wonder sfinter trives in such a shithole only to further embarass said shithole during international football
>>155646547we do that here too
>>155645781You're a tennis and track and field nation now.
>>155646671almeno la lingua e bellissima
>>155643619>2018 didnt qualify for WC>2020 Wins Euro>2022 didnt qualify for WChow does this happen?
>>155645781Why aren't your very beautiful young women staying, having sex and making more Italian babies?
>>155647412Englel
È finito
>>155645781I'd come over but your government decided no more easy citizenship for me
>>155646547That's most of Europe.
>>155647194Only useful to speak to 59 millions of subhumans
>>155647412Shitgate
>>155647715Beats what French, Spanish, and Portuguese are good for nowadays lmao
>>155647715you have no clue what a real irrelevant language is
>>155647412Its like CHILE in CONMEBOL they beat Argentina 2x in copa america but have not been to the world cup since 2014. There are golden generations amd sometimes there are shit generations, it happens. Could also be bad management too.
>>155647844Svenskt gott
>>155647844this is true. My brother moved to your cunt without knowing a word of Swedish and has had no problems at all navigating daily life speaking english to everyoneDespite this, he is still paying for swedish lessons where everyone in his class (and the tutor) speaks english to each other anyway
>>155647470>>155647769Yeah but Italy still had to get to the final. Englel was just part of the piece.
>>155647983GoodSwedish should be kept alive
>>155647983Nordics are all Anglophiles and English is piss easy to learn for them because of similarities.
>>155646547can't they reindustrialise or are tariffs bad because orange man
>>155647844At least you can easily learn other germanic languages
>>155648065This. That whole corner are Anglophiles.
DELET
>>155648392>>155648065not anglophilia, it's simply an autistic boring culture that made it normal to sit in front of the screen and consume international content for 12 hours a day, but this seems to become the norm in the world today
>>155648111The whole Italian mentality is "good enough"There's some outliers of course, but more often than not the Italian industries refuse to keep up with innovations (if it ain't broke don't fix it), which means we progressively fall behind more and more until shit hits the fan, then we whip up some rushed fixing (with varying degrees of success) to try and catch up, then the cycle begins anew. That is also ignoring the massive gaps between south and north Italy and the black hole of endless corruptions basically syphoning away resources from everywhere.
>>155648981but enough about México
>>155648981Italian nationalism was a mistake.
Sad to see my ancestors in such a shape.
>>155646547Basically yes, we have one of the worst work culture/ethics of Europe, your boss will always do everything he can to exploit you and pay you the less possible (no national minimun wage), tourist places, especially on the coast, have been monopolized decades ago by tax evaders who're the only making profit, and we have one of the most worrisome level of emigration of people aged 20-35 with a degree in Europe. Youngsters go to northern europe or even fucking Spain and don't come back, and all the data I saw speaks only about people with a degree, but I've met plenty italians that like me went out even for just manual labour. It feels awesome to pick grapes in France because you know you're guaranteed a minimun wage and all the extra hours paid lol, imagine how bad we have it at home
>>155643676>kids born after 1998 do not remember seeing Romania at the WCTruly the end times
>>155648981sounds basedI wish we were like that
