Why do they suck at football now?I remember when they won the WC 2006
>>157927905because they are Uruguay tier and should only have to world cups
>>1579279052006 was 20 years ago.
>>157927990
>>157927905they had their very unique slurp, they were similar to real madrid
>>157927905Happened to Uruguay after 1950Happened to Hungary after 1954 albeit a defeatHappened to England after 1966They are cursed now. The curse does not lift.
>>157927905Italy needs to be politically dysfunctional to be good at football.Ever since Meloni took over, she has stabilized the country and so hence they're now shit at football in turn.
The top priority of our football association is to act as a comprehensive shield against any sporting, 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; the same 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.To sustain this state of affairs in the corridors of power, Serie A is no longer capable of identifying Italian talent and developing it through consistent, understated training (that is, free from unnecessary media attention driven by vested interests) and a rigorous apprenticeship, because over the years the application of the sporting regulations has been completely neglected, distorted and undermined, particularly in refereeing decisions and the domestic use of VAR since at least 2021. Consequently, players who excel in the league are more likely to crack under pressure at crucial moments (such as the play-off against Bosnia), whilst those who are less conspicuous on league matchdays are capable of putting in decent performances. National team call-ups are also undermined by agents, external political interests and club executives (from the football clubs mentioned above) for substantial financial gain, a fact that further erodes meritocracy within the Italian football hierarchy.Bearing in mind this summary of grounds, it's easy to see why the competitiveness of the national team may have plummeted over the years. At this time, despite the investigation into match-fixing and recurrent sports fraud aimed at favoring Inter currently going on, there are no signs of a change in course that might improve the situation.

>>157927905Weak midfield and half of defense..
>>157928276But Germany and Brazil are also cursed now.
>>157931068Insane cope. As if Bbilan didn't commit any misdeeds during the Berlusconi days. Are you a Bbilan or a Juve fan?

>>157927905Germany sucks and they won it in 2014. Shit happens.
>>157937873is that some sort of flex or something
>>157927905They aren`t that bad, also one of their stars got injured and the other is immature (Chiesa and Zagniolo)
>>157937755Italy won a world cup during the Berlusconi days.
Just a series of bad luck draws, financial scandals and a couple not-as-good generations in succession. Money ultimately doesn't determine the talent pool.

>>157927905APOLOGISE
>>157927905We won Euro 2020 thoughever
>>157927905And yet in the last 20 years we won a WC and an Euro, a feat replicated only by France and Spain (repeatedly)
>>157955721>>15795184180% of the time Euros are a consolation prize for teams that can't win a World Cup.
Because they're fucking dogshit, OP
Excluding 2018, Italy has at least reached a World Cup final each 12 years since 1970 and either won or lost. The next World Cup is in 2030 and I don't think Italy is gonna pull some sort of miracle.
>>157966981yeah quite a drop in form compared to our 2018 final in Russia ay
>>157958845says the American
>>157966981Excluding the times they didn't win, Italy won the WC 4 times in the last 100 years (100 years in 2030). Let that sink in.
