That is the lowest total of any major footballing power and has stood for nearly 50 years. From a country that has produced Rossi, Baggi, Del Piero, Vieri et all that blows my mind… Wow.

      Are you suggesting that they trust players too young and they never fulfil the potential or that they trust younger players and cast aside older ones?

        they always seem to lean on the old gaurd rather than taking a chance on youth.

        inzaghi was 25 and vieiri 24 when they made their debuts for example

        only one i can think of of any note is baggio who was a teen debutant
