Italy not making the world Cup appreciation thread

[Jamal514]

They won't be missed. Their current roster is not that impressive at all.

 

[Miggs]

Not saying Italy was going to win it or were even favorites but Italy has traditionally been a footballing superpower and are ALWAYS a threat to win it (despite being notoriously slow starters in the tournament).

IN the past they have been,they werent a threat in 2018.

why yous trying to hurt me man ?
between that and that Knicks/Cavs game last night.

 

[Jamal514]

Buffon, Barzagli, Chiellini, and De Rossi all retired after yesterday's game. Those dudes were still hanging around from the 2006 team.

Yet somehow 23 year old Domineco Berardi, who already has two seasons of 15 goals in Serie A, remains uncapped.

And Europe's stranglehold on that trophy loosens up just a little...

It's always been them or South America anyway...

 

[Rottweiler]

No USA or Mexico either.


I guess it's Colombia, Brazil and England.

Mexico is in

belgium

in top 5?

they haven't proven anything in recent tournaments like the other 5 teams and it's not like their squad is any better than those teams. I'll put them in top 7 with Portugal

 

[BonafideDefacto]

Some of y'all capping for that impulsive shytbag Bolatelli like He deserved to be on the Italian squad

Italy is part of the UEFA Big 5, Id always prefer all 5 of them in just for fukkery sake and history. Besides, I prefer to argue with Italian cacs here about there games than not at all.

nikkas of African decent are mocked, racially-disrespected, and called monkeys all over the world...even more so in the country all y'all reside in so even the mere utterance of that expression can fall on my deaf ears

I like having villains more so than protagonists to root for/against so Go Ireland!!! The thought of Irish Goons clashing with Russians near the Kremlin makes me happy to have such fukkery to look forward to
