There is a good 20% chance to have Italy vs Portugal in the playoffs. No world ranking protection this time.

 

Or would Sweden be better? Who knows :p

 

Edit: maybe the odds are 33%? Even worse then.

Krychowiak did the wise thing and got booked vs Andorra to be suspended for this game.

When Manolas did that in 2018 World Cup qualifiers, he was punished for an additional game and ended up missing the first leg against Croatia in the playoffs because of that.

Wouldn't be surprised to see FIFA/UEFA do everything possible to keep Portugal and Italy apart :d

Firing Mancini is the only way to have a chance, he either started smoking a lot of weed before the matches or had a stroke. Or he was injected a dumbing microchip with a vaccine.

Yeah, but Krychowiak commited five fouls and finally got booked in the 61st minute. So he didn't give the ref any choice even though it was intentional. It wasn't like Sergio Ramos timewasting in 95th minute once before which also got him some heat IIRC.

come on , he just won Euro with Italy.

 

beating Northern Ireland in Belfast was always a tough task. and yes Italy had a TERRIBLE match. but I can't stop cursing Mancini for another reason, for letting Jorginho taking that penalty.

 

I can't imagine another World Cup without Italy but now it's very much possible :( at least they have enough time to recover from this.

:ITA has played a bad match, play with the "falso nueve" isn't an italian scheme but we don't have forward totally fit at the time.........

I don't know if someone really expected a win in Belfast with two goals (at least) with Chiesa and Insigne ..........

 

However the "direct ticket" was lost with :SUI  in two matches we don't won and scored a only goal...

 

 

See you in March, the fly for Qatar isn't lost ....yet

what i can say for Italy is that you cant always win for sure when you start with 4-6-0 or with forwards like belloti or immobile. Just remember what Italy had in attacker's position a few years before, Vieri, Inzaghi, Del Piero..

It looks like he's gone mentally in the last couple of months, just repeating the same two sentences with a tired/bored attitude, like he has something else to worry about. If that is the case and the problem can't be solved soon, it's better to part ways now. Not qualifying will greatly tarnish his legacy, it's a shame that can't be forgiven for an Euro win.

    • Here you have statesmen and old leaders that's why we were the leaders back then, and the USSR fell apart.   And who said I support Trump? I have never even been in USA in my life... Personally, I think he's a clown, but he unfortunately reflects the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.    
    • Latvia seriously attacking the anti-record in WJCh history with the fewest shots on goal in a game    4 SOG after 48 minutes is really quite atrocious stat  
    • My personal favorite in Canadian athlete is Valerie Grenier. She's so likeable and sweet
    • Canada had a great home-boost in 2010. Unfortunately, that's not the case in us – look at 2006... We won fewer medals in Torino 2006 than in 2002 (11 vs. 13)
    • Short-track is unpredictable and ridden by bullshit refs who give out weird penalties and home-advantage calls to favour the home athletes. Women’s hockey, we aren’t beating the US this time around, the rivalry series went horribly and I’d be happy if we can hang on to silver. It was that bad.    Freestyle skiing team, a lot of them have been getting injured our ski cross contenders (Hoffos, who was in the best form of her career, Sherret), Kingsbury, Oldham... Then you have Blouin, and reigning World Champion Liam Brearley in snowboarding, 2024 world champion in skeleton Hallie Clarke, and 2023 world champion in ski jumping Alexandria Loutitt who are all out injured for the season.   I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Italy will have a nice home boost and win 5-6 golds, but yeah that would’ve been pretty bad for us even before our entire team getting injured. I still view it as a disappointment either way. 
    • Do you have short track, freestyle, snowboardcross, hockey x2? You'll definitely win 5-6 gold medals. If you want, I'll gladly sign now for Italy to win 5-6 gold medals in February... Canada has at least 3 girls competing for medals in the long distances, and we only have 1 Lollobirigida- also quite old.
    • team is seriously in shambles and I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win a few bronzes or slightly better at Milano-Cortina…   Our men are nonexistent, Dubreuil still is awful coming back from injury and nowhere near his 2021-22 form, he’d be lucky to get a top 16 finish. Jan-Bloemen is old and his 5,000m WC podium was a fluke, at best it’ll be a top 8 finish in each event. For the women, Weidemann won’t beat Groenewoud/Wiklund in the 5km/10km and Blondin with Groenewoud (probably, she beats her all the time) or Mangianello in the mass start, and Maltais can only aim for a minor medal at best. We don’t even have our team pursuit anymore, used to be by far the best and now we’re getting beaten by Netherlands/Japan…
    • A true champion- van der Poel came to Beijing for 2 gold medal, and he won 2 gold there, without worrying about other people from the Netherlands: Roest, Norway, or any other country. These are the kinds of people Italy lacks.
