It feels bad, honestly. If they don't make it, there's a whole generation of incredible Italian players that'll never get to play a World Cup match... a whole generation of Italian football fans that'll've never have seen their nation, a top 10 nation all time, no debate, play at the World Cup in their lifetime—which is incredibly unfortunate, considering their long history of being a dominant power
As funny as it is to us, you really do have to feel for the Italians... it must be depressing to see your nation fail to qualify when it has so much talent. I've friends with Nigerians and they're absolutely heartbroken that they're missing two tournaments in a row, so I can only imagine what the Italians are feeling
I hope Italy qualify simply for the culture. I wouldn't have them getting more than 4 points—I'm high on both Switzerland and Canada—but we'd all love to see them back on the world stage
they need attacking talent but they suck at developing them. Serie A clubs need to develop attackers better instead of just DEFENSE DEFENSE
for a football giant? HELL NAH this nation is suppose to compete for world cups, not even fail to qualify for one
it hasn't been long enough to count them out of being a giant. maybe if they don't qualify for the next 2worldcups, we can start the conversation
grouped in '10 to paraguay and slovakia, grouped in '14 to costa rica, havent even qualified for '18 and '22 with 13 available spots 😭😭😭 Son be real they are irrelevant since '06 and their club football has also been irrelevant for more than a decade now (with a few exceptions)
u might be right but they still have clout from past success to still be a giant for now
because it means that despite winning the 2020 euros, italy somehow fails to make 3 world cups in a row
italy are shit ngl i will be placing money on them to lose the final if they make it. the only thing of note theyve done in 20 years is beating us in the euros, which was purely due to southgates anxiety at us going 1-0 up in 10 minutes and changing the entire setup to sit back
sure, but it was not because they were an incredible team. it was because we threw it away
