ITALIA(4-2-4): Buffon; Darmian, Bonucci, Chiellini, Spinazzola; Parolo, Gagliardini; Candreva, Immobile, Eder, Insigne. All: Ventura >tfw hoping to lose badly so that they can sack the hack
I'm not even bothering to watch it, see you guys in the weekend
Logan Jones
b-but we can make fun of Bonucci
Andrew Carter
>this lineup
eww is this the best we can do? ventura out
Benjamin Sanders
that would be hilarious
Lucas Ward
So do I bet on a 0-1 or something? I bet 2-1 agaibst FYROM and you fucks still disappointed me.
Hudson Peterson
>is this the best we can do? not really
Andrew Nguyen
what would you rather ventura out and substituted by whoever the federation can find ventura stays but the players make a changing room pact and start running things themselves ??
we're going to face croatia and go out
Jaxon Wilson
>betting on Italy it's not worth it, i bet the odds aren't even that good
Ryan Hill
he sacrificed himself for that, show some respect you degenerate faggot
Noah Perez
H-h-h-haha lads N-n-not making the World Cup isn't all the bad
the only way for that to happen is if we miss the WC
Blake Nelson
Albania's secret weapon - they all know Italian
Parker Davis
Pls do, join the comfy club with us and Argentina
Kayden Jones
>Portugal >Croatia >Sweden >North Ireland >Greece >Wales >Finland I don't think I wrote them all and that they're all right but these could be the teams we might face. We can easily lose against every one of them
Parker Moore
if we lose against albania, or play badly enough it might show that we're almost guaranteed to miss the WC if we continue with ventura.
we have a fair chance against finland, and maybe northern ireland and wales if bale doesn't play.
Hudson Long
maybe a draw???
Austin Harris
>Lichtenstein >-34
Benjamin Davis
but we have the almighty Bonucci, conceding is out of the question, right Shqiptar?
Leo Watson
i don't know if they'll change the CT with so little time before the layoff, expecially since he has a long contract (wich they extended in August with no fucking reason whatsoever)
Easton Roberts
he is probaly going to give up a goal, Rugani should def be starting instead of Leo.
Midfielders look weak too. Not much else on the bench tho to start instead.
Josiah Kelly
that's because the daft cunt left Jorginho at home for literally no reason
Juan Lopez
I dont know ItaliANO
Andrew Miller
It would be hella sweet if Italy lost t b h
Jonathan Jones
bitter sweet seeing gigi sing.
it made me realize you wont see that enthusiasm again. Its dead.
Then I thought about how cool these clips of him will be on youtube and how I could show my son one day plus everything else will be able to be shared.
Then i realized i wont have ever have a kid or wife and how sad that is.
Sebastian Green
LET'S GO FUCKBOYS
Bentley Thomas
jesus christ buffon is finished
Wyatt Taylor
this, it's really sad. What's worse is that he won't get dropped
Alexander Wood
i rate sczezeny it's time for the lad to retire
Landon Scott
Is there a bigger meme striker than Immobile?
Ayden Cruz
Balotelli
Julian Nguyen
What did he do? I lost the first minutes
Jack Bennett
the u21 and u 19 teams play with more intensity.
They play more hungry too.
What is this vapid back pass all over the pitch shit, why is the team afraid to attack up the middle?
Why is Ciro such a pussy and taking so many dives, Why is Insigne playing as a wingback?
Why is Spinnazola playing with a 5 foot in front of him first touch?
The whole team is awful, the midfielders are invisible, they dont pressure, they just back pass around.
Insigne is only one playing with creativity and its really not good.
There is not one world class player on the pitch.
Carter Davis
ask Ventura, with another coach things are different
Aaron Rogers
>why is the team afraid to attack up the middle? becuase we literally don't have a midfield >Why is Ciro such a pussy and taking so many dives he has always been that way, just a ssystem babby >Insigne wingback >SVentura
Jonathan James
kane
Jonathan Gray
Jesus Christ this game looks it came straight out of the 80's, it's fucking depressing
Joseph Brown
CHIAMATE IL MAIALONE ANCELOTTI, FATE FUORI QUEL VECCHIO RIMBAMBITO DI VENTURA
god, I've miss the trash talk shows about football so much
Brayden Martin
>all this reddit spacing and reddit opinions
Carson Rogers
We make Albania look like Brazil
Ayden Turner
it looks cleaner then green text and you know it to be true.
If you go on reddit spacing, you hardly see any of this type of spacing, its all paragraphs.
So its really not reddit spacing.
Caleb Hall
Don't exagerate. They have 30% possession.
Benjamin Powell
mean to say if you go on reddit, all of the posts and replies are either paragraphs or obnoxious tacky and cliche one liner punch lines with everyone jacking off each other.
Joseph Bell
how is italy doing? im watching binlan vs roachmen atm
Parker Fisher
you could beat us in the playoff
Christopher Myers
what's with Ventura's obsession with playing without a playmaker and building all play on the wings? It's like he's trying to play 50 years old traditional english football. that's on top of his tactical incompetence- pic related against spain
Caleb Stewart
I really think they need to let Ventura go... He seems like he cares and all, but its just not working out, the players are not motivated, they are not responding.
Bring in Carlo and run a 4-4-2.. get back to basics. I honestly think Insigne would be a better central mid then a winger, he gets involved and he is fine on the ball until his third touch... then he loses control.
As a center mid, he would be able to spread the ball around by his 2nd touch.
Samuel Williams
in his defense, italy don't really have playmakers at the moment besides verratti
Chase Wilson
why couldn't we have called Panucci to coach the NT? Just sack ventura and get any young coach fresh from Coverciano. Even if he's a bad coach at least he'd have better knowledge of modern tactics compared to Ventura.
Joseph Scott
>mfw >we win the wc and all the ABVs will get BTFO
Levi Ward
Luca Toni 2008 at the very latest
Hudson Miller
il decesso di biscardi
Jonathan Price
verratti is made to play as a defensive midfielder, and jornginho is not even called up. bernardeschi could also play as sort of a trequartista too. Gagliardini and pellegrini, even though they are DM aren't completely useless at playmaking, but with this type of tactics they are forced to only defend. It's not just about the players, it's that his tactics make it impossible for the central midfielders to build up play, instead it must pass all on the wings.
Kayden Clark
we have finally found our own indentity and gud coach. defend with heart until you get that once or two chance to score. we are strong now even iceland got rekt :3
James Rivera
agreed that not caling up jorginho is shocking. it's a shame that bernardeschi gets benched in favor of candreva, who can't even cross the ball properly anymore.
Julian Ross
Abbiamo spezzato le reni al regno di Albania?
Isaiah White
>who is Jorginho
James Gray
any minute now
Adam Lee
>I honestly think Insigne would be a better central mid then a winger Sarri tried that and it was a disaster, he's better on the wing
Benjamin Reyes
>Jorginho >Italy NON PASSA LO STRANIERO
Adrian Sanchez
vabbe' e che ne pensi di eder?
Noah Howard
>camoranesi
Landon Green
with the current results, this draw is enough for Italy to be seeded in the playoff
Bentley Gray
we're always not good during the qualifications but we've never been this bad
Josiah Murphy
currently yes but it's because of the results in the other games
Kevin Garcia
Buffon angry at having to make a save
ok
Brandon Anderson
He deserves to get shot
Italian names are acceptable
Angel Moore
exactly, if Italy wins, there's no need to care about other matches
Jaxon Hernandez
You mean angry that Zappacosta didn't close on the shooter?
John Cruz
jesus fuck what is wrong with albanians are italians their archenemies?
Nathaniel Russell
just call him Giorgino
Joseph Sanders
We didn't forget World War 2...haha jk they just want a memorable result from this impossible group.
Wyatt Howard
Eder's shots are so fucking depressing
Ayden Bailey
>Italian names are acceptable bene quindi in teoria ventura potrebbe convocarmi
Jeremiah Howard
they want to help us get rid of ventura so we can have a hope of doing well in the WC. greatest allies
Ryan Edwards
How are Albania doing? Can they win this?
Ayden Watson
I unironically hope so
Hunter James
e che cazzo finalmente
FUCK YOU ALBANIA
Benjamin Garcia
LITERALLY WHO CAN STOP US?
Lucas Gray
YES WE CAN(DREVA)
Benjamin Perez
Can dreva score? apparently he can
Jackson Parker
>we wont get rid of both Candreva and Ventura untill they obvious failuer at the WC after this goal
