Baffled

One of the best parking the bus tactics I have ever seen

Zlatan coming back from retirement

 

[sfc415]

Glad Italy is out. That's what their stupid @$# fans get for their banana and monkey noise obsession

 

[ootherocoo]

sweden beats italy in a playoff to go to the world cup

without zlatan...smh

I would have loved to see GiGi in one more WC. Sweden came and played/defended incredibly. Before this tie began, Italians were laughing at the prospect of them losing to Sweden and missing the WC........well damn.

 

[moiety]

So over Sweden in the WC

Feel for Gigi

Not bringing Insigne on is absolutely unforgivable

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Italy & USA can play friendlies in met life

For the culture...

 

[rck3sactown]

Can’t wait for some dumb *** American writers to come up with some think pieces on how this is the best thing to happen to Azzurri

Zlatan coming back from retirement

Please, ZlatanGod, please unretire.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Gonna be honest I feel nothing for Buffon missing out on this WC, seems like a good guy, Ye shrug

 

[layziegunts]

Buffon was the #1 choice keeper in 4 cups already, I don't feel sorry for him at all

And yes Zlatan is putting on his jersey right now as we speak...what retirement?

If he's a good guy why don't you feel bad for him?

Gigi deserved better than this And Ventura needs to get sacked and slapped for not bringing on Insigne.
Major props to Sweden though. Especially Granqvist was holding it down in the defense.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

because he's won a lot, a lot of good, terrible, & inbetween guys have missed out on the wc

I feel where you're coming from ,it's different than the UCL since he's actually won a WC but damn it won't be the same seeing Italy without him

Guess Donnarumma's officially gonna get the keys now

 

[mastamind89]

Heard Nketiah been lighting it up for club and country

He sure has. I hope things work out, he has a lot of potential, some natural talent that can't be taught.

ronaldo is sus though
he probably just used a turkey baster


and fekir is solid...hope he doesn't waste his talents at arsenal like laca is

 

[rck3sactown]

because he's won a lot, a lot of good & bad guys have missed out on the wc

I feel like your definition for good/bad guys and feeling good/bad for them is drastically different than most


and I dig it

 

[SadBoi]

Giovinco/Balo wouldn’t have let this happened.

 

[rolaholic]

Jorginho should've stuck with the Selecao...

 

[DsLee]

I remember reading an article where Zlatan said he's done playing for Sweden even if they make it to the World Cup. It was actually an unselfish decision too, saying the team would have less pressure and would be playing with nothing to lose. Interesting to see if he'd really pass up the chance to play though, especially after missing the last World Cup.

 

[rolaholic]

He's never scored in a WC iirc and I don't how if he'd feel the same way now that they've actually qualified,plus since when has Ibra unselfish like that? Man needs to be himself

Gonna be a lot of new blood in Russia next year without recent WC staples like Chile, Ghana, Ivory Coast and traditional powers like Italy and the Dutch
