Italy defeated USA in a very close match

Not a great match for us, but at last ee are in semifinals

 

Not great match? Italy beat first seeded team and you said not great match. What you expected? 45:0?

I think that this was perfect match for Italy. Great tactics, with very smart fencing. Isola an Fiamingo just great today.

I expect to see a better fencing It's not a point question, but it's about technical mistakes (like the Ross mistake on the 20th American point)

a easier win was definitely possible...

 

the USA are highly overestimated in this discipline...all of those girls are absolutely nothing special...

 

CHN, KOR, RUS, ROU, FRA...all of those teams are surely better than them, even if the results have gone differently in the last couple of years...

 

 

by the way, this is a key win for Italy...if we can make the podium, our chances to qualify for the Olympics definitely improve a lot...

 

even if Ukraine's win over Poland is not a good result for us...

USA are first seed but not the strongest team...anyway, unlike 2015-16, the team is Fiamingo's only chance to qualify for the Olympics so she has to perform well for her own sake.

no, it wasn't a perfect assault at all...slow start, both Isola and Clerici great on 2 stints but awful in 1 of the 3 bouts...even Fiamingo making it unnecessarily complicated in the last stint...

Do all people in Italy always have objections and everything is always negative? 

 

 

Nobody:

 

Italian guys on site: THIS IS DISASTER REALLLY! Yes we won, but hey it is still not good.

 

 

Calm down people, just without tension, your team won, you have chance for medal and it is only important.

You probably don't realize how successful Italian fencing is Getting "a medal" is simply not good enough.
