Italia

[brehme1989]

They're both German, that's enough reason to oppose them as Italy's jerseys.

Come on Italy, use Macron or Kappa. Or even freaking Lotto if they're still around! They have better designs anyway!
There's also a few others like Diadora, Legea and Givova.

Are they paying national teams to dress them? I don't get it... Just give the chance to your own brands, it's not as if you're not getting a ton of money in already.

ugh Adidas is so boring

With the number of times they fuck up their coupon code in Canada, I welcome Adidas Italian jersey with an open arm

I love Italy's Euro 2000 jersey.

Kappa.

Their jerseys are great, very tight and great fabric. Macron are very similar.

If you want a great Nike or Puma jersey you have to overpay for the "authentic" version. Adidas are more decent overall. Puma are not bad, not much dissimilar from Adidas. Depends more on the cut I guess. Nike is trash, but highest quality Nike are top tier stuff. The issue is the price.

 

[ADRossi]

Kappa's logo is the ugliest in sports. I wouldn't use them for that reason alone.

Puma had some obvious duds (2010 home, 2021 away) but overall had some solid ones. I would have much preferred a switch to Nike than Adidas.

Not sure if I can handle Inter missing Scudetto and Italy failing to qualify for WC for the second time in a row in the same calendar year

 

[TheNetworkZ]

Italy will qualify I'm sure

 

[Glass box]

It won't be a tragedy if they don't, though. There are Juventus players in their squad after all. Plus, Bastoni and Barella will rest for Inter, if they are still here.

Who am i kidding, Mancini will rest Bastoni even if they qualify.

The match between Italy vs Northern Macedonia is on ESPN + @3:45pm Thursday, 24, March in the US.

 

[ADRossi]

Genuinely hope Mancini gives Scamacca the start.

 

[YoramG]

Oh good, something else to be horribly depressed about.

Not yet, probably will be depressed once Italy plays Portugal

 

[brakbrak]

Do or die today, looks like Mancini is gonna start Immobile, I wish he'd have the ball and start Scamacca instead.

Chiesa's absence will be very missed in today's or Tuesday's game imo

 

[Il Drago]

Scamacca isn't even called up. Instead there are Immobile, Belotti, Raspadori and Joao Pedro.

 

[Glass box]

With Pandev and Elmas I'd have zero doubt we'd thrash them, like this, 50-50.

 

[brakbrak]

Scamacca isn't even called up. Instead there are Immobile, Belotti, Raspadori and Joao Pedro.

Ah I missed the fact that Scamacca isn't fit.

 

[ADRossi]

If we lose today you can go ahead and sack Mancini. No excuses.

 

[brehme1989]

Can't believe that Italy has no legit left backs left. Or that they had to invite Joao Pedro of all people to the national team.

I think Biraghi has become the best choice. I'm surprised Mancini doesn't see it that way.

Would you have preferred Caputo or Pinamonti?

Regarding lbs, Italy have some interesting talents in the position (Pellegrini, Pezzela, Cambiaso, Parisi) so things don't look too bad for the future. But i am not surprised Mancini decided to go with the experienced Emerson. This isn't the time for risks and experiments.
