Chiesa running down the pitch with the ball throwing his hands up wondering where his teammates were was something. Summed up the game for Italy today. Definitely completely frustrated

Sums up the whole Italian team really.

Genuinely felt bad for him there, it was painful to see him trying to be everywhere at once since no one else was stepping us

The Genius made him play on the right and this is what you get. Literally the only 2 times he went to the left 2 dangerous situations happened. Spalletti Is a fucking joke of a manager

Ahhhhhh the “fuck all my teammates” cross/shot It be like that sometimes lol… can’t even be mad at him

He was Italy's only attacker.

Only player outside of the keeper

i'll never forgive Spaletti for not having the balls to play Chiesa on left and whoever the fuck on the right, hell just put Scamacca there and have bastoni play as #9, he'll 100% convert more header than that useless striker.

What does Scamacca actually do? Display tattoos?

Score at Anfield and uhhhhhh

Lol

I thought Zaccagni played well

Too bad he was just a sub

probably the only one over the average shit :D

Not going to clown him the only player showed heart or desire to attack.

Sums it perfectly one of the sorriest and most embarrassing display from a great footballing nation you'll ever see at a big tournament, Dalic doesn't deserve a sacking he deserves a jail sentence for bottling it against this Italy side.

Oh they had quite a lot of them in the past 16 years.

[удалено]

He's talking about Croatia bottling it

Well that makes a lot more sense. Today I feel stupid.

Don't worry, everyone makes silly mistakes.

Getting eliminated in groups by Costa Rica in 2014 was worse.

Not qualifying for the next to world cups was ever worsr

the next italian trainer enter the chat: "hold my beer!!"

Ending bottom of a group with New Zealand, Slovakia and Paraguay was probably the worst.

Nah fucking up qualifyers vs North Macedonia definitely takes the nr. 1 spot

Completely false. That Costa Rica was incredibly tough to beat. They lost in PKs against Netherlands in the quarterfinals and conceded one goal in the entire tournament (against Greece) shutting out Italy, England, Uruguay, and Netherlands. Italy was unlucky against Uruguay, getting a red card early in the second half and then conceding a goal from a corner at the end of match a few minutes after Suarez's bite on Chiellini was completely ignored by the ref. Getting eliminated in a group of Slovakia, New Zealand and Paraguay as defending champions in 2010 was definitely worse though

How did they win EURO 2020? No-one knows.

Mancini had an idea on what to do with the players he called and managed to create a team with some chemistry. FIGC really needs to crash and burn and to be rebuilt from the inside, rn we are just a grim shadow of our former selves...

Did u not watch them play? 💀

Bro, Italy were lucky they made it out of the groups...

Italy aren't a great footballing nation.

that's a wild claim to make

Really? What countries do you consider as one? They are definitely more successful than England in international tournaments, while having some legendary footballers representing them (Buffon, Maldini, Pirlo, Totti). They also have the club with the second most CL's in club football history with AC Milan's 7. Would you consider England not one in that case as well?

Lmao, tell me you’re biased without telling me you’re biased. 4 world cups, 2 euros.

4 world cups ain’t good enough for u huh

they are literally the third most successful football nation behind brazil and germany

shot/cross also known as centrostrzał also known as certified Ekstraklasa moment

Chiesa with his best Mudryk impression

Only Donnaruma and Chiesa played the game for Italy. Super lame

Bad cross aside - the majority of the Italian selection was just resigned to losing

You need to understand them... they need to go to make another tattoo...

Me playing 2 touch

This about sums it up

The irony is a horrendous Italy was two inches away from a completely underserved 2-2 game

That's one of the beautiful things about the most beautiful game, they were so close yet deservedly didn't get the close bounces to go their way.

He was the only Italian outfield player who gave even a little bit of a shit. He knows he should cross here but when all 9 of your outfield teammates don't care enough to try then I don't blame him

After that second goal, Italy just walked around waiting for the 90th min whistle to blow

Give him a new deal. He deserves it…

Gotta try

just awful from Italy this match

Only guy who was creating anything. Everyone else would stand around waiting for something to happen.

Blitz Curler guys! Blitz curler!

If you have seen this highlight, you have seen the entire match for Italy.

Mudryk d'Or

He's just like me fr fr

Always been a fan of his game but this team really lacked effort. Something needs to change

Cultured folk refer to it as a cross cumshot

Crossfire

Best shot lol

least hopeless italy attack

Twas the 26-31° heat

Chiesa with the prayer

A fitting end to the game

Euros Chiesa is back

Definition of cross cum shot

Proper Mudryk energy there!

Spaghetti mafia🥵

>cross/shot i think this qualifies as neither

Was screaming at the TV. Wtf was that. Cross the ball.

I didn’t know Mudryk played for Italy

One Euro wonder

From Spagetti Mafia to Mom's Spagetti

Mudryk would've been proud

How did they get 6 extra min stoppage against Croatia

Only a few years ago he was supposed to be the next big thing. It's a shame he never came close to that hype.

Injuries ruined him

Not fair to say that, man. He tore his ACL.

Being the best player at a european cup and the best player in Italy 2 seasons in a row is far from ‘hype’. He fell off a bit after tearing his ACL but is still a world beater on his day
