Round of 16: Switzerland - Italy

[NimAraya]

Remember when we were linked to Di Lorenzo at the end of season? Hope there'll be zero chance of that happening after this tournament.

True. I was game for that, but he has been utter gash.

This has been astonishingly poor. The biggest worry for me here is FIGC fire LS and look around and decide Inzaghi is the man to take them forward.

Not a chance of that happening. Pioli might do a better job for the NT.

Yeah, this time Italy will be playing with 4 starters from Lazio

tbh, Inter starters have not been anything special here. Frattesi and Dimarco have actually been pretty shit.

 

[Suraj]

did not think italy was gonna look as bad as in the groups but wow spalletti has really outdone himself

 

[Il Drago]

I don't watch Italy on qualifiers so i can't vouch for Ventura period but this is the worst Italy i have seen in my life.

Maybe, it would give him more time to attend his burn clinic appointments at least.

Goobi players have been even worse

 

[Ethor]

Why the hell hasn't Spalletti put on Bisseck, Lautaro and Thuram..oh..wait.

 

[Ajesh]

Only watched Italy against Spain..they were pure shit..Never seen such weak Italia in my lifetime..

 

[syrus]

Glad we never bought samacca
The guys instincts are shit.

I was so hyped going forward with the Azzurri, because I think that coaching in general can be a big advantage at national team level and thus came to the conclusion that Spaletti would be more than fine comparing to other coaches (excluding Nagelsmann obviously), but I seem to have forgotten our times with this man in charge.

Just going to show how perfectly aligned everything was at Napoli for him to take occasion of the opportunity somehow like Ranieri at Leicester. The football Italy display is a proper shit show, and the coach definitely has his part in it when playing someone like Cristante and Fagioli (him not being bad, but first game after long time in the round of 16… wow).

Btw respect to Switzerland as they seem very tactically disciplined and well organized. Some of their leading players like Sommer, Akanji, Schär and Xhaka are in their best form ever so may be a dark horse worth considering.

Secret weapon Frattesi on.

 

[Il Drago]

Can't wait to see how this team looks under a proven winner, like Pioli.

There's also Allegri as an option

Maybe he would take it for the pride but being Italy head coach now is like career suicide

 

[NimAraya]

The commentator is very disappointed with this Italia. He sounds like he's been cheated on by his gf.

 

[Suraj]

well i guess we got a sommer cleansheet at least

 

[NimAraya]

Horror show. Glad it's over.

 

[Damageplan]

Im just dissapointed with how far Italy dragged down the quality of this qualifier. Waste of time, looked like a practice game. I would be absolutely fuming if that was my NT.
