We could even end up worst 2nd placed team now :facepalm:

Not only that we lost to this Turkish side, we try to protect a 1:0 lead in a home game against Finland and can't even do that properly.

watching Italy-Macedonia match, this Italian team is a complete disaster, a year ago they had a good team with Conte, now with Ventura :facepalm:

 

I can't believe if my favorite team Italy misses the world cup but that's now very possible, this Italian team won't be favorite against any team in the playoffs. :(

well I follow the Italian NT since 1993 and even Donadoni was a better coach than Ventura.  btw the only time I cried for a sport , that was for Italy NT long time ago :d

 

I don't think he stays if Italy fails to qualify which is very possible now, I hope I'm wrong , big teams like Italy usually find a way to win crucial matches, this Italy has so many good players but today's match was just terrible, I remember we played this Macedonia team away last year and even Iran completely dominated them.

Disappoint for the :ITA draw but nothing is lost, however we have many absences (midfield and FW /Belotti) hope we can play the PO with all players fit!

 

I don't understand the people that already talks about our fail..... NO ONE after the draw had think a direct qualifying (with Spain second), the playoff was the first target, now will go at playoff  for reach Russia!

It's not about the results, but the way they play. Italy didn't create much chances against a team like Macedonia today, no much time left till the crucial playoffs. I hope all main players return for those 2 matches. as I said before I can't even imagine a world cup without Italy.

      Spalletti is a much better coach than Gattuso, but what did his team show at the Euro against Switzerland, or in Oslo against Norway? Nothing... I'm afraid that even Guardiola and Klopp wouldn't help here- well, maybe they could somehow push Bosnia through, but what next?

      Denmark can only blame themselves for that Belarus match. A win and they'd qualify with a game to spare alas...   Gattuso has no business being a manager at this level. Italian problems come from the lack of domestic talent in Serie A but Gattuso ain't gonna fix anything.

      Just listening to Gattuso is enough to understand that he's a simpleton.  Honor, pride, grit...but he is a coach, not a Spartan soldier. And he was surrounded by other idiots who confessed they had to buy their high school diploma. 1-0 up but down to 10 men and they are playing only counters with a lone forward with good pace (Kean, who almost scored the second) and Gattuso replaces him with a target man. Then 1-1, the team is forced to play more possession and the first thing he does is taking out a ball playing midfielder (who served a near assist just moments before) for Frattesi, who is only good in running into empty spaces to finish but always shy away from playing the ball.

      The last time this team played well was at Euro 2021 under Mancini, but they 8 months later they lost to Macedonia at home in a 2022 World Cup qualifier play- off at home game... In my opinion, Italy Euro success was thanks to Chiellini and Bonucci's recent big form and Chiesa's tournament of a life. Without them, Italy is simply average team: the 1-4 and 0-3 group defeats to Norway wasn`t a case (under Spalletti, so a good manager, at all). Play-offs, however, are always a lottery in this format – especially when you're playing decisive matches away and also under the pressure of Italy now + Bastoni's red card episode. Such things are decisive. Take the current play-offs: Poland, Denmark and Italy could just as easily have advanced, instead of the Czech Republic, Sweden or Bosnia. Top teams simply don't have to play in these play-offs, why they avoiding the risk of defeat. In groups you have 7-8 home and away matches and no only one- last match chance away

      Btw our coach (likely in a couple of days ex-coach as well ) Calzona, not the pizza, Italian himself, presented his 2 cents about Italian failure as well in the press conference after our useless match against Romania. Talk about how nonsensical and pointless this match was    https://sport.aktuality.sk/futbal/clanok/francesco-calzona-reakcia-na-bosna-taliansko-zaspali-sme-2026040100555755775

      Was the problem really the coaching staff ? I mean it is 3rd time and in all 3 cases there were different coaches, right ?   Probabyl the issue is somewhere else, I did not know Gattuso and his staff played the matches on the pitch themselves

      It's sad that Buffon is tarnishing his legend and the same think is for Gattuso. Ranieri did the right thing by refusing... Who's going to replace Gravina now? Malago, or someone from the football community?
