Love Gab’s very subtle joke about RVN “why the long face?” 😂

[virupakshawalla]

Xhaka made right choice to leave Arsenal for himself but if we had managed to sell Partey last season and kept Xhaka for another? Arteta had Havertz in mind but that really wasn't great. Hindsight but league maybe won with Rice and Xhaka and Havertz up front. All played nearly every game last season.

Im a Brit, born in '83. I grew up watching the Prem and Serie A, to see how far Italy and Serie A has fallen is heartbreaking. How have you gone from Baggio and Del Piero to Scamacca? People used to laugh and say Inzaghi was rubbish, compare him to what you have now... You've gone from Mancini, Conte and Pirlo to nobodies... Its crazy, its like Italy was replaced by some other country...

TALKS SO MUCH TRUTH AND SENSE ABOUT GLI

[carlomarra]

Nice one Gab, I'm just so p!ssed off. No excuse will suffice for all those Italy performances. Hope the future looks a bit brighter with Chiesa, Barella, Donarumma, Fratessi and Calafiori. Scamacca can still be good if he gets service, Raspadori and Rutegui can still give something.

[frankpanico]

The Italian Federation needs a Summit, all Big soccer minds on club teams like Marrota, Guintili, represenatives off all seria A clubs to try to come up with solutions going forward.

[moerocco]

I have to correct you Juls. Gareth Southgate also has his own line in retail. He has his own line of waistcoats sold by Asda in their George collection.

[dionigi]

The problem is Serie A does not promote Youth. Italy U17 and U20 win tourouments they are sold to Serie C clubs. the System is broken. Stadiums are broken. Serie A does not know how to market itself

[Pablo.Gonzalo]

The managerial suspensions have been ridiculous at the Copa America. The decisions are unappealable, interestingly there's footage of Bielsa and Uruguay coming out to the pitch at Half Time at the same time as Bolivia. Meanwhile the tournament is being played in stadiums and fields that don't meet CONMEBOL's own regulations that are so meticulously being enforced. Having both continental tournaments going on at once, you can glance at the Euros for a moment and realize just how embarrassingly managed and organized everything around this Copa America has been.

[ghostcpher]

People keep calling them "defending champions" and while technically correct means absolutely nothing. Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup two years ago, and are just consistently poor.

[TheFabrizioNYC]

I agree with Gab here, Spalletti probably had a little bottle of Holy Water in his pocket like Trap...

[mickzed]

Germany better in defence plus Neuer should make the difference Germany's way.

[coastalbrake]

Gab, isn't it your JOB to know how El Sha performed last season? That he had 9 assists and 4 goals in all competitions last year? For years I've been asking what is wrong with ESPN analysts. Now I know they are not real analysts, they are the just fans who say the first thing that comes to their heads.

[HussainHayki]

Gab was laughing when they said switzerland will win

[USmensnationalteam]

I want ruthlles soccer from the USMNT players. We got to be ruthless. We have to smell blood in the water. We’ve just got to be more ruthless. I think it’s that simple!

[SocceratesTFS]

Yakin the Swiss coach said this:

Q: did you expect that it could be such a dominant Swiss team?
 
 A: yeah, it's not surprising that their team changed a lot - and we've been observing that - and they were searching for their own identity. not for nothing, they brought in 3 or 4 new players again, again a new system. I expected everything, but not that they play 4 at back. I knew that if they play 4 at back, then we'll destroy them. we knew we'll flatten them. if they play 4 at back, then we'll let them run and that's what happened.


Yakin believes Italy's revised setup played into the hands of his team on Saturday, telling SRF: "It's unbelievable what's going on here. We've enjoyed ourselves in every stadium. Big praise to the fans.

"I knew if the Italians came with a back four, we would destroy them. Then we would let them run.
"Dan [Ndoye] closed down the midfield. His man, [Stephan] El Shaarawy, hardly saw the ball."


If everyone else could see it and Spalletti could not, then he is not fit for the job. If Spalletti could see it and refused to adjust, then he is not fit for the job. Either way, he is not fit for the job and should not only QUIT NOW, but leave Italy.

[ptkarl]

Hate to Germany as always 😂😂😂 Germany clearly better than danmark, first 15 minutes was not good ?

[rossnour]

Gab commenting on other's style😅 looking like a homeless person most of the times, funny and sad 😅🤦

[Schweini_]

Not a mention of canada advancing out of the group stage.
