Dimarco bestoni retugi all garbage players
italy have alot of great young talent coming through the ranks, these guys have no idea
Gab is absolutely clueless
No more Di Lorenzo, Barella please. But at the end the player talent is not there and no knock on those wearing the Azzurri shirt. Going to be a long time before Italy is competitive right now grin and bare it.
Italy wen to the u 17 wc semi so they ave to go to youth but I think guys like barrela need remove
DiLorenzo and Mancini are NOT of the young Italian talents. Added, shouldn't even be wearing the national team jersey
Bring back Balotelli
We deserve to be in the B division. We're embarrassing. Italy has long road but the problem is the same loser characters are still driving the bus. Lol
Oviously problem is the coach, why don't you guys understand. They had chance to sign Antonio Conte, but see these losers.. Sack Macini asap, get Conte
I can't believe the stats are accurate. Not at all the game that we saw.
This will take time, and progress was already evident by the second half. You can already start to see a tactical identity forming, and if one or two of our second half shots on goal would have gone in...Speaking of which, the plays that lead to those chances were dynamic, creative and fun to watch. Let the work continue and Forza Italia
The problem when speaking about this is that pundits have no idea about Italian football. They very fairly stopped paying attention progressively since 2006 but there is IMMENSE talent in Italy. A LOT of young players with incredible talent, but you can’t simply throw them into the fire and expect them to perform when they haven’t been brought up in any sort of cohesive system. It’s particularly difficult when you hire a coach who shouldn’t be there and you keep your core of Italians who have failed miserably time and time again.
The moment I see Di Lorenzo starting, I know that nothing's going to change.
As usual belgium gets no credit
Only if the Italy team looks like 99.9% of the country it represents will it succeed. We are not France, Germany, England or Netherlands
Hardly any young players played last night.<br>Romano yes, Coppola….thata it. Zona and Duombia came on with 10 minutes left. <br>The issue last night was Di Lorenzo and Mancini in defence…
Italy reminds me of Bulgaria. Bulgaria were great in '94, Italy have always been great. Both countries ruined their leagues, they don't give the young the chance to play and get better, the youth academy system is a joke in both countries - no wonder no youngster is becoming a good football player from these places. Italy would need dacades to recover. It takes time
Serie A is a wasteland and all of the “best” players are foreign. Italy aren’t winning another trophy for the next two decades at least
donnarumma saved them from the game being 6-0
The Nations League is a Mickey Mouse cup anyway so I’m not really that bothered about loosing in a competition which is pointless but gives Italy good chance to cap players who can represent other nations so they are stuck with Italy in the long run 🇮🇹👍
Italy has no decent players of any age. Look at serie a. The big clubs are playing foreigners.
the problem is the youth development. Italy is lacking creative and technical players. they still have good defenders and goalkeepers. even some decent midfielders. but they're lacking quality forwards and attacking-midfielders. i don't know if it's the state of Serie A or just bad luck, but they need to look at France and Spain's youth infrastructure and try to emulate it.
I think Italy should follow Spain's example in youth football development and regeneration and not be too proud.
Italy used to be highly respected, but now it is increasingly destroyed, plus its monotonous game is far inferior to Spain's.
Mancini was/is a terrible coach. No way he succeeds.
Hm. Where is Italian youth development? Why are clubs in Serie A fielding more foreign players than Italian born players in their teams in the league. Is such a shame that Italian football is in such a bad way. They have lost their national identity no?
Italy Football is gone it will take a decade to build Italy Football team
Italy are at the same level as Georgia,Romania,Armenia etc my prediction no euros for Italy
Mancini is not that kind of coach. They keep saying Italy won the Euros, well, on penalties, with Donnarumma. And before that, it was under Mancini that Italy did not get into the World Cup. Mancini is not a power coach. He’s a dainty dandy type of coach who wants his players to look pretty i.e. a bad copy of *il calcio spumante*. So, no, Gabi, you’re off base...
italy football national team is finished.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
belg have some guns . itlia will be ok . these lads will take us to a euro title or wcup . i have faith . its the right step
The team was slow as molasses
This Italian team is a total waste are time just before the world cup the under 23 team played two friendly and won and what I saw was a team of young and hungry player they showed more determination than these bunch of clown 🤡 who was on that field today
Gab is the WORST person to talk about Italy. he’s delusional
we all know why Italy is falling off.. low birth rates
Italy will not rise again not with the attitude of leadership and fans. They're set in their ways and unwilling to grow.<br>The clubs are ruining Italian talents and yet fans go to the stadiums to support them. Many of the young prospective talents are playing abroad because if they stay in Italy, their careers will be ruined.<br>Also, why is DiLorenzo playing while Kayode is on bench? This stupidity and old school mentality is what will cause Italy to miss the next WC.
I ve now seen 👀 Italian football is absolutely dead .
Italy can't just play young players. They need to start developing them. None of these guys are good enough. When Kean is a starter u know things aren't going to go well
There are young players in Italy? I thought Serie A was only for over-30 players...
That's why Italy and Croatia are looking like the same
Mancini is back to destroy and bury Italy. Such a horrendous performance will not happen under Antonio Conte.
Do Lorenzo starting over Kayode ? 🤣 dear god
When I think of players like Totti, Zambrota, Nesta, Del Piero, Inzachi, Camroneisi, Pirlo etc and now seeing these nobodies playing for Italy is mental.
🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Mancini and di lorenzo left a gaping hole in italys backline.. why are they there ??
Italy was destroyed
Mohammed Ali Zoma<br>Remember the Name!<br>Will be a Champions League Player very soon
I think Marcotti is trying to avoid saying the truth. Italy is ashamed of this national squad. However, it is OUR squad and it reflects the status of football in our country. The population love the game but clubs have allowed themselves to be completely overrun with non Italian talent and it’s probably worse than ever. This is why Maldini’s plan was so radical. And also why the clubs worked to get rid of him once they saw that he was going to take the job seriously. The national team under this management and leadership is destined to fail. Because they’re pretending to change things without doing anything to make the clubs field more Italian talent in their line ups. Count the number of games over the last 2/3 seasons when clubs like Milan and Como did not start with a single Italian on the pitch. It is shameful to have clubs that don’t provide viable options for the national coach.
Italy will finish bottom of their UEFA Nations Group!!
How is Premier League Kayode who is doing amazing for Brentford for the past two years not even on the bench let alone the starting line-up. He has everything Italy need speed, power, skill and a long throw and is ignored, The racial bias of Italian football needs to stop or they will never be a big nation again. They need to embrace the diversity of the country like England, Spain and France did or they will become a small football nation.
I just could not believe what I was watching for the first 45 minutes. The Italian players were just standing around like they were lost in a forest. This is insane.
Don't be too hard on Italy, the US also thought they could put their foot against BE at the WC.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A guy called Mohammed plays for Italy now 🙄 So Italian so much passion and heart to be given!! Takes a place of a native Italian. Sport is broken.
It doesn't matter which generation or coach is playing, Italy will achieve nothing as long as the overrated Donnarumma is in goal.
Mancini lost today and was a major factor to City 114 charges, you can’t make this stuff up
Italy are the best nation in the history of football
Up next
