god ****ing damn it. this means ****ing cr7 gets a walkover to the world cup. **** off.
Yup. I don't know whether they've lost or been without any key players during the qualifiers.Didn't Italy go on some ridiculous unbeaten run? Quite impressive they managed not to qualify.
Italy's success was built on a rock solid defence and a squad full of very good players who all chipped in with key contributions at key times during the Euros, they don't actually have that many 'star' names.Yup. I don't know whether they've lost or been without any key players during the qualifiers.
All four of these, including Italy, have now failed to qualify for both the world cups before and after their Euros win.Denmark, Greece.
guessing for the third, Czechoslovakia?
Same, I love North Macedonia upsetting one of the much more fancied nation, I just wish it's come at someone's else's expense rather than Italy.I love Italy at World Cups though, doesn't matter if they are good or terrible.
Haha this was actually u-turned on pretty quickly, and they attempted to renew the bloke's contract only for him to turn around and tell them to get ****edDon't think yer Azzurri actually lost in the group games.
Drew 4/10 and Switzerland 3/10.
Norn Iron crucially held them in their final game to allow the Swiss to pip them.
As they usually take defeat about as well as Donald Trump (if memory serves the Perugia chairman sacked the South Korean player who scored their winner in the 2002 WC) I hope we can expect some very salty high class whinging in the next few days.
Yep.the Perugia owner was also mad even by Italian standards, wasn't he both the guy who gave a contract to a Gadaffi son and to Mia Hamm
