They need to score 9 goals in their next game or they will enter the playoffs for a chance to qualify.

Yes.

When you treat your most talented player with sleaze, you deserve what you get. Robert Baggio put together a report on how to modernize Calcio, it got nixed by Arrigo Sacchi.

The Azzurri have become "La Squadra di Sacchi" again.

Twats are calling for Gattuso to be fired, to that I quote Rodney Dangerfield - fangu ok!

It's not his fault, since Arrigo Sacchi gained power within the FIGC, the Azzurri haven't qualified for the WC. Gattuso is coaching La Squadra di Sacchi.

I'm not sure if the return of Tonalli, Calafiori and Ricci will make a difference.

Talking about Milan, Sunday they're playing Inter, I'm sure it will be a great game.
One of Baggio's recommendations was to start youth ahead of imports, that strategy has worked very well for Spain. We'll see on Sunday if Italy has learned anything, if Ricci and Pio don't start then Italy is not serious about qualifying for the WC.

They are La Squadra di Sacchi.

We'll see in 4 months. But I agree they need to have soccer nurseries. Back in the day the kids played outside most of the day, now they sit home on the computers.

Should we keep the faith with La Squadra di Sacchi?

Italy and California have the same climate and the same disasters. Genoa is very rich, the ship building capital of the EU - it could sink into the Mediterranean.
