So did I but am enjoying them failing now after how I felt in JulyI did enjoy watching them , refreshing tbh
England would beat them , we do well against sides like them these days , set piece or 2 would undo themIf North Macedonia reach the world cup I wouldn't fancy playing them.

Utter crap, but no surprise from Grendel liteItaly’s fortunes since not a good look for England, second to the Swiss in qualifying and knocked out by North Macedonia
Maybe not a good look for international football in general when you consider who they beat to win the tournament
Fail to qualify for 2 consecutive World Cups but win the Euros in-between. Crazy.
I’m sure they missed a late penalty to beat Switzerland too. There was A LOT of complacency in the media about the game tonight.Fail to qualify for 2 consecutive World Cups but win the Euros in-between. Crazy.
Italy 31 shots to 4
Italy 0-1 Macedonia
They did mate. Absolute shocker of a result tonight though. I can't even imagine what it would be like here if that happened to England.I’m sure they missed a late penalty to beat Switzerland too. There was A LOT of complacency in the media about the game tonight.
The same sort of reaction England get when they "only" beat a team like North Macedonia 2-0 probablyThey did mate. Absolute shocker of a result tonight though. I can't even imagine what it would be like here if that happened to England.

Haha you're probably right.The same sort of reaction England get when they "only" beat a team like North Macedonia 2-0 probably
Least Italy have won something thoughPeople mock England for its World Cup and euro performances even when we get to semi finals and a final
Italy’s World Cup record since 2006 is a disaster
Least Italy have won something though
We've gone from being in the wilderness failing at the first knockout hurdle and group stages for years to regularly going deep in tournaments.Least Italy have won something though
It's not about saying we're better than them and preferring us, it's about recognising where we've come from and what our direction is.Is there anyone who would rather be an England fan than an Italy fan over the last 20 years?

We're now a positive team that has looked capable of winning something for this first time since '96, and that was an outlier, and yet people want to rip it all up chasing some notion of instant success that would in all likelihood send us backwards.
People argue that we have a golden generation being wasted. That was '06. We have 1 genuine world class players and a lot that wouldn't get into other teams squads. We're doing very well and are criticised because people's natural instinct is to shit on England.
probably England fans who were around in the 70s when we failed to qualify for 2 successive world cups or the 94 USA finals .Is there anyone who would rather be an England fan than an Italy fan over the last 20 years?

I don't get what relevance Italy's success has to England's development if I'm honest.Italy have won the World Cup and the Euros over the past 20 years….nevermind their crap WC record recently, the only team it would be better to support over the same time period would be Spain.

we won the World Cup in 66 and didn’t qualify again until 1982 it was depressing not watching the team competing in the World Cup
Did we not go to the World cup in 1970?we won the World Cup in 66 and didn’t qualify again until 1982 it was depressing not watching the team competing in the World Cup
Did we not go to the World cup in 1970?
So from 2002 onwards, you’d rather have been an England fan than an Italy fan?
technically we did by winning the 1966 world cupwe didn’t qualify
