Stockholm was lit last night, everyone saw the game, funny enough, the swedes defended like the Italians for 90 minutes, italians were reduced to taking pot shots
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!

Serie A is currently, substantively the best league in Europe atm, just based on football content alone.

Some briliant young players coming out of Atalanta, Sassaulo, Lazio, Fiorentina, Sampdoria....

Remember it took PKs to knock them out of the Euros under Conte, with scrubs like Giacherini. Conte would've challenged for the WC with the current team.

Italy have been let down by the FIGC.
Milan?

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Taking pot shots against a thoroughly average Swedish team. :oops:

With a Rossi/Balotelli/Schillachi and a Baggi/Del Piero, Italy would have won this game 3-0. I am shocked that Italy do not have a leftback and had to use Damien in that position. He is no better than Echejiele in that role.

what would have happened with an Ibrahimovic/Dahlin/Brolin?
