Proud of the team despite the loss. I just feel frustrated that we didn't have players - or even just a player - available who would have made a difference tonight - Verratti, Marchisio or even De Rossi. No shame in getting knocked out on penalties to a practically full strength Germany.

insigne has to be the most overrated player in serie A.

Mertens is a better player than Insigne

Epic is definitely the word. I put down Giac going into this tournament and he comes out flying as if he was the player I remember liking a few years ago. Eder came out and played a crucial part. Despite his (relatively few) detractors, Pelle proved that he could play at the highest level.
There were obviously disappointments and players who shouldn't have been picked, namely Parolo who would have been better off warming the bench. However, for the most part, this side came out and made their mark despite being a mediocre side on paper. Just unfortunate it had to end this way.

Poli was the xfactor missing in mid field.

hahaa.

Insigne played less than 500 mins in total for the NT. "ALWAYS"

Hating on a real GOAT like Sarri is pathetic.

There is no team in Italy , no permutation or combination to have put up a bigger fight against Germans than what he did apart from veratti and marchisio. The fact that he took Germany this far, all of whose players are far superior, experienced and come from much better teams means this is the absolute best Italy had on offer.

Insigne is an inconsistent little mental midget. He has failed for Italy. ALWAYS. Elder was much better choice. Insigne is also overrated as fook on this forum along with most Napoli players and Sarri. He isn't special and be didn't fit the pressing game. He should be glad he was taken.

I didn't expect italy to get rekt by belgium.. Italy always does better as underdogs, that is a known fact.

For what it is he got the best out of those average players, which he chose in the first place. And in fact only conte could achieve that with exactly those type of players. But I BELIEVE that a better coach could have achieved the same result, had he started some of the benched players and some of those who didn't get picked.

----

About the match... imo he failed with the subs. He had game changers (i am aware that you don't agree) on the bench, he should have introduced them earlier.

My point is just like he was praised for those impressive wins, he should also somewhat be blamed for this loss.

So a winger with 12 goals and 10 assists is overrated. Hmm What did eder exactly do last year to deserve a starting spot

The game against Belgium? Wales beat Belgium, OK. The game against Spain is probably Contes's Italy signature win but not against a Belgium team that has been extremely overrated even before the wc2014.

Xelcuk · 03-07-2016, 05:14

İnsigne is the only player who can replace Ribery without any problem. Direct, quick and great dribbler. l really want him at Bayern.

Btw, italy was really weak for us. Our 3-5-2 made things harder for us. in normal conditions, we can beat italy easily.

Xelcuk · 03-07-2016, 05:19

l'm really happy now.

We are in semi final and italy is going to their home.

Who is that fairy and where can Milan sign him?

Lolno. He got knocked out by Germany. Not Wales. History aside, he was expected to get knocked out. He was expected to get knocked out vs Spain as well. You don't get blamed for losing to a superior team. He was never in a winning position either that some judgement in tactics cost him the game.

Because he isn't playing for Napoli to score 12 goals and 10 assists for starters.

But the main point is they didn't have to do anything last season. Deschamps said it best when dropping Nasri for the world cup , "a national team isn't made of the best 23 players but the most functioning 23 players".

Germany was going to have the bulk of the possession today. That meant Italy's pressing would have to be top notch in both attack and defense. No way was insigne going to play an up tempo pressing game.

He was brought on late because Germany were tired and hummels was on a yellow. That was the best time insigne could make a difference - running at tired German legs. Tired because they were kept on their toes by some good pressing from eder, giach and pelle.

Right.... Because bayern replaced Ribery with someone who isn't direct , quick, and a great dribbler.
