Didn’t see a thread created so far
England 1-1 Italy
Man, this is the least exciting Italy team I’ve ever seen. They used to be able to field a world class player in every position.
imagine going from Del Pieiro & Totti to Moise kean
💀
This is what happens when you squander your national leagues success and money away on scandals and other shite, could be Englands future in 15-20 years if the broadcasters decide Saudi/US/someone else football is the new thing (doubtful but it’s possible)
England has invested too much in stadiums and grassroots football for that to happen.
Half of the clubs in the Serie A don’t even own their stadiums, and they stadiums they do have are rundown shitholes
Jude is insane
Lol that miss looked like it hurt a little
There’s no way El Shaarawy is only 30
his career really fell off a cliff and he’s still playing for italy. Their options up top must really be dire.
Bro that’s insane, I remembered seeing him play for AC Milan ages ago. Also, I thought he plays for Egypt not Italy.
AC Milan on FIFA 12. No plan, just five star skills and vibes
Pato, Ibra, Robinho, Cassano, El Shaar all 5 star skillers plus Thiago Silva, Taiwo and Abate in defense. Such a fun team to play with
He’s always played for Italy, both junior and senior level. He got capoed over a decade ago now. Also feels way longer because hes been a 1st team regular since he was 17/18. Sterling is the English version, dudes been around for ages and is only 28.
Ok what the hell Sterling is only 28
Yup and he’s pretty much played for half the top six teams. Next destination is possibly Arsenal if we win the league. Arteta will bring him in for experience. But if we don’t, then he’s going to United, cause Lawd knows what their transfer policy is.
Do not compare sterling to el shaarawy, he may of had 5 star skills but raheem has 100+ prem goals
Oh, I’m not comparing him. Just saying he’s 28 and been to half the top six clubs in the Prem…
That is a comparison; it’s fine to compare things 😂
But at the same time: El Shaarawy is already 30???
How come Jorgi isn’t on the Italy squad?
Hes essentially retired internationally since the WC qualifier loss. Think hes sat on thr bench a few times but no minutes.
Get Rashford out man, he’s a liability
And he scores.
Foden been way worse tbh
Both are huge downgrades on Saka/Grealish on the wings
Any predictions for the second?
I wish it wasn’t the case but this team needs Saka.
Every team needs Saka.
true-happy he’s getting a rest for once though.
Showcase of why waistcoat always plays saka.
The things id do for Barella especially at left 8
The Southgate and Rashford love-in is making me nauseous.
Oh fuck of Phillips
England not steamrolling the worst Italy side since football was invented is pretty disappointing yet unsurprising.
Phillips not being sent off is incredibly lucky
Garry’s a walking e-brake, this won’t change
Jude the complete midfielder.
Thank fuck he didn’t go to Liverpool.
Can’t see why Man City didn’t go balls out for Bellingham
Pep spent 3 hours trying to convince him apparently
Too much personality for pep
