Azzuri did great although without maestro, Marchisio and Veratti.

Conte was right that this is not the best team Italy ever had.

Hope in the future Ancelotti would takeover.

was looking forward to watch veratti vs kroos.

Haha dang comiseration italy hope 4 work out the world cup 2018

Ancelotti is now at Bayern
after Conte who'll be Italy coach?

Highly rated but not spectacular...giampiero ventura

I feel he will not last long though...hoping oldie is gold

never heard of him
household name in italia eh?

I find it amazing that a full strength german team could not beat Italy which is having suspension/ injuries with their main players.

I mean in normal/ extra time.

And not forgetting this current Azzurri squad is among the worst in the last 20 years.

Just imagine if De Rossi and Candreva were fit to play.
And Veratti was also in the squad.

Anyway congrats to Germany on winning in penalties.

well that mean a few of the great performer for Italy wont play first 11, big players are not a guaranteed better performance.

Giaccherini and 3 solid CB + Buffon

Ventura.

Yeah I was hoping for Ancelotti or Allegri to be the next coach when the time is right as of now there are so many emerging talents in Azzuri but they need times and experiences to mature.


The likes of Donnaruma,Romagnoli,Rugani, Berrardi etc.

That is why i'm even more impressed with Italy.

The current squad is low on talent and technical ability.

And not forgetting the injuries and suspensions on our regular starters.

And yet the Germans find it so hard to break us down.

After more than 50 years, they still cannot beat us in normal play time in major tournament

It is amusing that the current world champion cannot finish off a weak Italy team.

The boys should be proud of what they have achieved by holding the strong Germans side till the last minute of the game. Just that they are a bit unlucky on the penalties shootout and if Pelle could have sealed it off by a goal then it would be a different story now! Every players should be honoured for their achievements throughout the tournament!

I SALUTE to the BOYS!
