Is scamacca supposed to be the future of italian football? He looks so clumsy
June internationals (WC qualifiers and Nations League)
- Thread starter VanDeBank
- Start date
Italy's kit is sumptuous, shame we won't to get see it come fall.
Italy and Germany competing at who has the shittiest forwards
Do Germany not have better fullbacks than Kehrer? He is fecking crap
and there's the equalizer
Handball?
1-1 it is..ll
Fun fact: Germany hasn't beaten Italy in the normal 90 minutes a single time in the major tournaments.
At LB there are Gosens, Raum and Halstenberg, all of whom I think are better players. The problem with Gosens and Raum is that they are more suited to playing LWB in a 5 man defense while Halstenberg has playing more as a CB lately than LB.
Not fun at all
You can thank UEFA for that. Instead of teaching Hungary's racist fans a lesson, their rules practically rewarded them.
Shit game, Italy continues to hold their impeccable record.
I can't see how they won't fix that come September. Italy seems to be so dreadful. A bunch of nobodies from bottom-half clubs.
Edit: not September. It is in 10 days.

Of course it isn’t a big tournament but it’s important to measure your competitive level against good teams rather than playing rubbish games in the qualifiers against Andorra or Gibraltar, the notion England played crap because they don’t care is laughable, they played crap because they didn’t performed, no one was asking them to play as if they were on the World Cup.
I don't know, it's become a curse at this point, some records just exist.
Also it was only a year ago when they became European champions, they're a bit shit now but they're not that bad.
Also with chiesa coming back they should go up a level or two.
And nothing that you said has nothing to do with England or other teams losing, the notion that because it’s not the Euros or the World Cup they play like it’s glorified friendlies it’s a joke, even less in a year teams are preparing for the World Cup.
Hungary 3 pts
Germany 1 pt
Italy 1 pt
England 0 pts
Next: Germany v England, Italy v Hungary.
Tthe team that finish last in the group would be relegated to League B

Well it's fun for me
Chiesa won't be back in 10 days (I was wrong, the second leg in Germany is on the 14th of June).. And Chiesa won't be the only one missing from the team that won the Euros. Today the only Euro 2021 starter was Donnaruma.
I know. Its the greatest game in the world ran by fecking muppets
Sorry but in a year you have the World Cup you won’t prepare for that without these games, if they are so tired then don’t show up, certainly isn’t against Andorras or Gibraltar on the group stage of WC qualifiers that they will be ready to compete against South Americans, by the way the Danish players looked motivated, if the French players don’t motivate themselves to play that’s their problem. Less talk and play better.
Just the football team. Not England.Where are you from to hate England so much.
Hungary and Italy to fight that one out.
And England is my favourite for the qualification. Germany are a great team, but they lack that killer instict.
Not sure about England.. I'd say: Denmark - Spain - Germany - Netherlands in the final four.
Next match between Germany and England might already kill Three-Lions-NT chances to win our group

Last time England lost to Hungary, England won the next World Cup. It's coming home.
I don't think they're particularly unlikable to be honest, or at least any more unlikable than the other teams but I guess each to their own.
Oh wow, you're right didn't notice how much he changed the team(to nitpick i think peligrini was also a starter).
Anyway I think the hype around Germany is a bit unjustified, flick is obviously a great coach but the players are nothing special to be honest, Italy will just edge out another draw.
Germany seems to be quite shit at finishing as well so we'll see.
If Sancho is the main player, I'm gonna root for England for the first time in a while.
Pellegrini got injured just before the start of Euro2020 and he missed the competition. But I think Insigne would have started ahead of him either way.
Germany can count on the advantage of having many Bayern players available. Players who train and play together at the highest level all year.
No they didn't, unless you're going to win the one in 2034.
Edit: they did but it happened in the world cup so doesn't hold.

Fair but I just don't see who puts them over the top, they don't have anyone half as good as Lewandowski .
Bayern themselves aren't doing terribly well at the moment either so I think I'm gonna stick to my gutta, let's see how it goes down.
Lost to Hungary in 62
Yeah you're right, I was wrong my mind went to the more famous encounter in 1953 6_3.
We can always count on our dear German friends for a soul lifting result, however dreadful Italian calcio is.
How is Gnonto for Italy, 18 years old?! He looks older than my dad when he was in his 40s!
Thought he was good tonight for Italy, though!

I would like to crack the age joke but I don't if it's appropriate.How is Gnonto for Italy, 18 years old?! He looks older than my dad when he was in his 40s!

He seemed to be a midget but I was impressed with his strength, also was involved in their goal.

170 cm, that’s exactly the average male height in CIV, the country of his parents. But he is born in Italy and he could be the perfect Insigne replacement. Reminded me of another Italian “midget” (Giovinco).
Yeah he could have a bright future ahead of him, overall it was a rather tumescent game but I liked what I saw from this lad specifically.
Regarding his height he looked a tad shorter than 5'7(170) to be honest, maybe that's just due to the contrast with taller players.
Unlike Her Majesty, Harry Maguire made an appearance despite his mobilty issues..
He looks very Young here, your father must be Benjamin Button to look younger.How is Gnonto for Italy, 18 years old?! He looks older than my dad when he was in his 40s!
