who /groupexit/ here?
i'm not even mad at Conte, i'm just sad
>4 defenders
>>68007982
>mfw due due, 2
what happened to that young Milan keeper with a big name?
>>68007994
fullbacks are included in "esterni", but since Conte might go for 3-5-2, yeah, it's pretty nonsensical
>>68008004
you don't have your fucbuddy Denmark this time to conjure with
Ireland are catholic bros
Memelgium is neutral
your rigging will not save you this time

>>68008046
agreed desu
losing our starting midfield to injuries was the last blow to this already shit sqaud
where is totti lads?
I'm Polish, how's our chances lads?
>>68008053
why does Conte hate Insigne?
is he racist towards napolecani?
>>68008065
Conte took that triggered hothead (Sturaro).
Conte took literally every Italian at Juventus except Simone Padoin, plus his ex-players Giaccherini and Ogbonna. He's a fucking loser, can't wait to see him fired from Chelsea by Christmas.
>>68007982
>Dat strong and experienced italian back line
>motta
>sturaro
>no jack
At least there is no Mortolivo
Is there a particular reason as to why this fag hasn't chosen Pavoletti, Jorginho or Bonaventura?
Where is icardi?
>>68008161
He's Argentine.
>>68008019
Died in a car crash
>>68008019
Conte thought Donnarumma is probably still not ready for a big stage like the Euros (remember he's only 17, and even Buffon had to play two and 1/2 seasons with Parma and wait until 19 to be consistently called up)
"according to italians, there are three jobs everyone can do: the journalist, the politician and the NT coach"
so, armchair managers, post your team
>>68008160
Zenga said that Gonde didn't pick Jorginho and Jack for tactical reasons, he wants an interditore rather than a regista. He's gonna trust Capitan Futuro and Motta for playmaking.
Pavoletti was never even considered, muh gruppo.
>>68008359
>so, armchair managers, post your team
Here. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting someone tho.
>Darmian
Is he really Italys best FB?
>Giorgino
Same role as Sturaro but 15 kg lighter, not the best pick if you want to withstand the horrors of the European elite. And, Sturaro has got valuable UCL experience against two of the three strongest teams on earth today, he did very well both against RMA and BMU. Also, this >>68008647
>>68008682
we don't have one single midfielder who can pass the ball around calmly, De Rossi and to a lesser extent Motta have a decent passing range, but they lose a lot of balls
with such a slow defence, we're bound to get exposed
>no balotelli
This pleases me greatly.
Fuck that """""italian""""" nigger, he got what he deserved.
Good to see his career is officially over.
where's balotelli?
No Totti, no party.
>>68009066
He's finished.
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MOMMA WHERESA DA PARMESAN CHEESEA FOR DA A MEATABALLS AND GABAGOOL EH? UNCLE TONY BEEN A BREAKIN A MAH BALLSA
>>68007982
Is Verratti permaded?
>eder is unironically better than Totti in any way
Kys Conte
Totti is only good for like 20 maybe 30minutes a game
>>68009289
Make that 15-20.
>>68009257
No, only until september.
>>68009289
That's totally true, yet he still would be a better choice than Eder as 3-5-2 second striker. But then again, Gabbiadini would be better than both, yet he wasn't even considered.
>>68009289
>down 1 goal, 80'
>Conte looks to bench for an answer
>sees eder, but no Totti
>loses match
Good thing you have those 9 bench spots filled by guys like Eder.
>>68008647
>. He's gonna trust Capitan Futuro and Motta for playmaking.
ayy lmao we're gonna play like fucking Carpi
>>68009289
We're taking Guðjohnsen despite him only being able to play 30 min max, and probably only in 2 of the 3 group games
>No Bonaventura
You haven't a chance.
>>68009380
>Conte looks to bench for an answer
>sees eder
TOP KEK, Eder is gonna start unless broken, he's literally the only ss on the team (well not counting Insigne, who's not a natural ss and Gonde hates him anyway).
>>68009413
>ayy lmao we're gonna play like fucking Carpi
Have you seen the game sunday? Fucking Candreva was literally the only source of plays. We're fucked.
>no based bonaventura
>fucking de sciglio
if you're gonna pick a milan player at least pick the good one gonde
>>68009471
De Sciglio may have been the 3rd best fullback on Milan this year after Antonelli and Abate.
Still wish Gio was given a chance.
>>68009497
antonelli is based as fuck, I have no idea why that retard picked de sciglio ahead of him
>No Vasquez
>No Vivani
>No Berdai
Why?
>>68009538
Isn't he ded?
>>68009562
well technically he should be back by now but yeah you're right, I forgot about that. I still don't know why he would pick de sciglio though
>we're about to see a midfield composed by Giaccherini-Motta-Sturaro-Parolo
>they're playing for a 4 times World Champions nation
JUST
>mfw this is the wrost national soccer team in our history
ok im taking bets now, who believe we are gonna make ever worst of 2014?
>>68009689
it could be worse, you could be Brazil
No Giovinco even this time
>>68009754
2010?
>>68009775
i think 2014 was even worst
>shitaly
>memegium
>swedshit
>worst ireland
>implying group of death
>>68009754
2010 was pretty fucking bad, especially because Lippi decided to leave Cassano, Miccoli and Rossi at home for Iaquinta; as well as holding onto Camoranesi, Zambrotta, etc....then consider Pirlo and Buffon only ended up playing 45 minutes each and you have the worst Italy ever.
>>68009789
Really? You remember how bad that group was? New Zealand literally threw on a banker at the end
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_Group_F
>>68009793
I think we'll finish 4th 2bh
>>68009801
>>68009789
>>68009775
at least we're not going to Russia in 2018
>>68009793
It's a group of death because they're all equally shit desu senpai.
>>68009801
That was only Lippi fault, that team was worth at least the in the best 10 teams of the cup
>>68009816
i remember that, for sure i remember that, but this choice of players..i can't even
i can't blame Conte, italians player now are utter shit, but Lippi fucked up everything he can on that cup
>No Del Piero
smdh
>>68009870
SO MAYBE WE HAVE A CHANCE! YES!

E comunque ho provato a googlare l'immagine, ma mi dava come risultato una roba completamente diversa.
Only reason to watch this Italy team:

>not just throwing out some meme team because fuck it
>not rolling with the 2-7-1
>implying this line-up would do worse than any other
JUST do it Conte.
>>68009793
>worst ireland
they're in group c
>>68010137
pretty good desu
>meme your way to 4th best 3rd
>beat some shit tier surprise teams in the RO16 and QF
>beat Germany in the semis
>>68010241
>finish it all up by beating Englel in penalties
>>68010307
>england
>reaching the final
>>68010339
You deem THAT the unlikeliest part of this?
>italians are as pessimistic about their national team as the english are
it's shit isn't it
>>68010241
>>68010144
>Finished top of their group
>Can actually beat Belarus
lel
>>68010382
nope, but that seems too much
>tfw this was 10 years ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2mMznHciZc
I want to go back
>>68010382
The unlikeliest part is Italy beating anyone in the RO16.
Follow beating anyone in the QF, qualifying past the groups, beating Englel in penalties.
The most likely part is beating Germany as soon as UEFA declares the match "official".
>>68010838
italian cheaters
>>68010406
I actually have seen a lot of hopeful brits, whereas you'll not find a single hopeful italian, so we're in fact much more pessimistic about our chances.
>>68010883
>still mad
>>68010892
if you mean on here, it's other uk countries memeing
in reality few people are optimistic at all
>>68008103
Poles possibly have the best striker in the tournament. Not a bad supporting cast as well desu senpai
>no Belotti
>no Pavoletti
explain yourselves
>>68010973
>explain yourselves
Gonde
>>68010883
stay mad Mohammed
>Eder
>Immobile
>Giaccherini
>Sturaro
>Motta with the 10
>no Bonaventura
>no Jorginho aka the only playmaker we have
>no Berardi, Belotti, Gabbiadini or Pavoletti
fuck you too Gonde
>>68010838
reminder that video arbitration was used for the first and only time in the history of football
Is Gonde going to ask Roman to buy Giaccherini?
Does Conte only watch Juve games and that's why he doesnt know any player that doesnt play for them?
Something something Giovinco is world class something fight and win something MLS is a league on the 45 degree upward trajectory something my wife's partner loves the Red Bulls of New Jersey!
>>68011372
>Giovinco is world class
despite this is ironic, people actually believe this
Where's Marchisio
>>68010241
>germany
everytime, please don't even enter in this kind of thread, you know you can only feel pain in the ass
>>68007982
I love how Italians look at football. 4 parts of a team, not only 3 as everyone else. So simple, such a difference.
>>68011134
Aww hell nawww, Conte has a hair transplant?!
>>68011490

>>68010241
Germany aren't getting to the semis lad
glad they left Pirlo in New York
in 2014 everytime he touched the ball our commentators had to mention some reddit tier fact or annecdote
made Italy unwatchable for me
>>68011558
Thanks
>>68011579
Il tedesco pensa che noi consideriamo gli esterni una categoria separata, quando invece è la prima volta che la figc butta fuori un elenco con ali e terzini che fanno categoria per conto loro invece di essere divisi in difensori e cc.
>>68011579
Well...everybody else has the roster in three parts (not counting GKs):
Defence
Midfield
Attack
>>68011554
Jesus fucking christ please tell me he shaved this off.... if I ever see a hint of scalp, Im shaving it off

You know players who aren't dogshit and somewhat dynamic
I can't see Italy beating Belgium or Sweden desu.

>>68011698
what shit?
>>68026112
Putting wide players in their own category.
It's the first time the FIGC has done it, you must not think it reflects some sort of difference in the italian football mindset.
italy has been shite since 2007
>>68027486
Yeah you know, aside from coming 2nd the last EC.
>>68026986
maybe this in particular doesn´t reflect a difference in the italian football mindset, but I still think Italians in general have a different or let´s call it "deeper" understanding of football than most other nations. Or maybe I´m just annoyed that most Germans who call themselves experts don´t know shit actually.
>>68027697
the momentum is catastrophic though
I wish the FIGC would care or do anything about it
purging the shady chairmen (Lotito, Zamparini, Preziosi and Galliani) would be a good start
>>68028529
Meh. They can purge all they want, the replacements will be the same. It's simply a question of economics, foreigners are cheaper.
If you wanna change anything, set a minimum of 6-8 EU citizens on the field at any given time (since the EU won't let us do italians), that's gonna push youth and local players more.
Then they might wanna try to implement all the standard financial stuff from other leagues, from tv deals to anything revenue related.
