It had the likes of Pirlo, Gattuso, Totti but it wasn't a circus designed to accommodate them like Portugal or Argentina. Del Piero couldn't get a look in because he didn't fit the team Forward line was Totti, Del Piero, Inzaghi with Buffon, Nesta, Pirlo, Cannavaro in support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been involved and created some stuff, but it's Italy in the play offs. He was never going to dominate like you've seen against Burnley.

sne Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Enormous loss for Italy that, Leonardo Spinazzola's been one of the players of the tournament and a huge part in making them so hard to defend against. He's been everywhere and still managed to handle the defensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to a degree, but that was the entire point. This Italian squad is different. It's more of a team than they've had in 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those players were way more established stars in the football world and especially in Italy than any of these players are. Totti were a semi god at that point. The expectations domestically were completely different. Edited July 2, 2021 by KenjiOgiwara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
