Renfrewblue Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Watching the Portugal v Liechtenstein game and its turgid. Portugal are so slow at the build up they're making Liechtenstein look good. From what I've seen this season Celtic would be 4 or 5 up on Liechtenstein just on the speed of play. How can Martinez watch his team and think that's OK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Berardi should've years ago now been placed in the Andrea Belotti category, that of a very good Serie A player but not Italy quality. Better to leave the right winger position open for constant auditions from younger players rather than have Berardi holding it down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not meant to be an insult. My point is technically they ain’t great, they have a poor coach but get results as they are fast and strong. That alone coupled with the amount of ‘favourable’ refereeing decisions they traditionally get means I fully expect them to win a major tournament in my lifetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Mancini must be under pressure because, '...and they only won the Euros'. Good to see Channel 4 is keeping up the equally shite punditry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big bold letters. 'IMPOSSIBILE IS NOTHING' That's a pretty major f**k up. That would be like Nike having 'Jusut Do It' on their official branding. Impossibile is the Italian spelling. Probably should be "Impossibile è niente" or something, but I guess Adidas wanted some kind of internationalish slogan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just of the opinion that the modern obsession with technical players is a bit shite. I like that there are still managers who recognise that there's more than one way to skin a cat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy and Argentina won the last Euros and world cup with possession sides. France were world cup winners then beaten finalists in the last two editions with a direct style. So neither attacking strategy is decisively on top at the moment. Both proving their merits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
