We used to be a powerhouse lads
Have we ever performed in a match that wasn't important?
>>68821542
IS THIS THE TIME OF THE ANGLOS!?!?
>Wales thru
>Northern ireland thru
>Ireland thru
Fair lose. Ireland played better
Guaranteed loss against Spain after that performance. No competitive spirit.
>>68821542
It's ok.We fucked up too.
>>68821542
don't worry, it's all under control
>We
Argentinians aren't Italians
>>68821542
It was your b team in a game that didn't matter.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>68822007
they probably are
>>68822007
Italians are argentines
If there's one team capable of beating Spain it's you
you do the same thing you did against Belgium and it will be fine
>>68821935
But you have played better.
>>68821542
>we
You are still supposed to eliminate Spain for us while getting suspensions for your entire defense.
Get to work.
>>68822007
>he doesn't know about the 30's
>>68821542
Not even their B team. This was baby Italy on very easy mode. Italy was a good lad and let Catholic bros go through, better them than >Sweden.
>>68822007
Well explain Messi
>>68822163
this kind of things between us doesn't work very well
>>68821542
Calciopoli
>>68822007
today thousands of Argentines with Italian citizenship are moving bak to Italy
>>68821931
>match literally doesn't matter
>"no competitive spirit"
Hmmm correlation here maybe?
>>68822007
most actually are
>>68822007
>doesnt know that brazil and argentina (specially argentina) received loads of italian immigrants by the beggining of the century.
Amercian education. Also, just look at italian players surnam. Lavezzi, Messi, Mascherano,Roncaglia. All italian names. I am Brazilian but i have an italian passport because of muh heritage
>>68822889
It does matter. If you lose a game you can't be considered a real champion even if you win the whole thing. Plus Conte made a point of saying that he wanted to win.
>>68822007
they are just italians in disguise
in fact, maradona was just a napoletan that happened to be born outside of Naples, evryone knows that
>>68822218
This
>>68822905
>tfw argentina steals your best future players
gib back italian genes
Based Italy threw the game so that the kebabs would be eliminated. They were the good guys all along.
>>68823002
Conte said he was happy with the match
>>68823049
blame the WWI and general poverty
>>68822007
muh heritage
>>68823002
>they wouldn't be true champions because thy don't fit my entirely personal and actually quite retarded definition of the word
come on canuck
also what was Conte supposed to say? we want to lose because the Irish are pretty cool lads and we'd be glad to help them?
he rested 9 starters, i think he made his point very clear with that
>>68823002
>If you lose a game you can't be considered a real champion even if you win the whole thing.
I know this is b8 but come on
>>68823049
Weren't those early Italian WC winning teams full of argies
Gib stars back
>>68823178
Sounds like something Prandelli would say.
>>68823049
send defenders and we send some strikers. you can keep icardi.
>>68823002
>If you kill your enemies, they win.
>>68823027
>norway and finland team up to sweep sweden
>there's rich mineral sea and ton of fishing potentials in area where sweden used to be
>norfinway empire confirmed
>>68822710
always with that hand signals
>>68821931
>expecting italians to work hard after something they don't really care about
did you wonder why our team tonight was made by 2 players and 9 paesants
>>68823002
>you can't be considered a real champion even if you win the whole thing
I wish this was bait
>>68823327
this desu
>>68823416
If 9/23 players in your squad are peasants, you've picked a shit squad.
Did nobody else see the Ireland coach say "Thank you" to Conte during their handshake? Just before they embraced.
>>68822149
>Argentinians still think they're white
top kek
im gonna bet on italy to beat spain
im sure they will easily stomp
>>68823494
eh probably more than 9
>>68822218
More like they know they'll be playing Spain next and the last thing they need is to have tired or injured players. Nothing was at stake for them today, they knew they'd be first in the group no matter what.
Still, I'm glad the Irish could win the game.
>>68823497
I have this for you
>With victory, Juventus would have finished the season with a mammoth 102 points. According to the book, with the session barely underway, captain Buffon entered the room with director general Giuseppe Marotta, with the intention of discussing the bonuses due to the squad for claiming the title.
>Buffon is a World Cup winner with 154 caps and considered one of the best goalkeepers in history but this mattered little to Conte. Alciato quotes Conte as saying: “I’ve had it with the lot of you. Get out! I don’t want to see you any more.”
>When Buffon tried to respond, Alciato writes that he was told to “Shut up. You’re the captain, Gigi, and you don’t understand a ******* thing.” As the squad trooped out of the room, Conte is said to have muttered: “Shame on you!”.
>Interviewed for the book, Buffon describes these events as a motivational tactic to ensure Juventus did not take their eye off the ball. “It’s the kind of thing I might have done,” said Buffon. “If it served his purpose, it’s fine by me.”
Conte literally blacked out after the goal, he wanted to come to the pitch and physically assault the players, he was so shook that he shook the hand of Oneill like a minute before game was over, he just was out of it.
>>68823700
Italy has got 10 yellow cards. Assuming they even beat Spain they won't have enough players for the next round.
>>68823494
if your flag has a leaf on it you're probably a shit country
>>68823097
anything for our cathobros
>>68823791
The absolute madman.
But for real. I swear I saw O'Neill fucking say "Thank you" to Conte. I doubt Conte had anything to do with them possibly giving Ireland the game. Maybe he did, unwillingly. Who knows. Kind of shady. Fucking Italian FA.
>>68824024
Amen
So do you idiots not realize they were trying to lose by multiple goals to avoid Spain, but Ireland is so shit they could only score 1.
>>68824024
>gay "marriage"
>catholic
Friend, please
>>68823327
Honestly current Italian defenders aren't so hot...except maybe Romagnoli(and possibly in the future Calabria)
>>68821542
They tried to get 2nd place even when they knew their unevitable fate.
>>68824470
I honestly hoped for Italy to lose this match, we would have topped the group anyway and Irishmen are bros + Sweden BTFO 2004 avenged + Kebab removed
Happy tbqh
>>68824590
It sure was the best possible outcome, I agree.
>>68824590
This. This is the EC of Catholic domination.
> Italy
> Spain
> Hungary
> Croatia
> Poland
> Ireland
> Belgium
> France
> Slovakia
> Portugal
We also have NI, Germany and Switzerland which are half Catholic.
Step it up, heathens
>>68824048
it's more likely that conte said something like "well played" and the irish guy replied thank you
>>68824342
No one is perfect, anon. They are still cathobros at heart
>>68824912
protcucks BTFO. Let's not forget South america is also catholic and they perform very well in international competitions
>>68823791
>Fucking Gobbi Bastardi being disgusting Ladri as usual
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>68821663
I remember a couple of interesting friendlies actually, but they were against good teams.
This match had both the shit team and no meaning maluses, obvious guaranteed shitfest.
