Italia must win. No excuses.
What is this guy talking about? Loca was great in the first game.
Italys already gone diverse eh…lmao…europes finished..
Bosnia didn’t show much against Wales, and Northern Ireland couldn’t even get a shot on target. Different level now… Italy just needs to stay focused. One game at a time 🇮🇹
ARKAN TIGERS " Live"
They have no chance to beat Bosnia . They pissed them off with that video circulating of dr Marco , that stadium is small but intense and is now in horrible shape because of snow and lots of rain and mentally Italy are just weak . The looked awful against n Ireland . The will need a miracle to make it
Frogs are going down. 2:0 for Bosnia. Love that this entire time you did not even mention Bosnia. Keep underestimating us.
Bosnia 3 Italy 1
ma la colpa di questa situazione e* dell incapace segaiolo Spalletti
Seeing Italy play recently and before…I’m sure the big European teams like Spain France portugal Netherlands England etc absolutely steamroll them AT THE MOMENT.
However, Italy still has a pretty exciting team with some very high quality players in there and now some younger players selected..it’s about momentum and trust gain, and such things in football can go/turn very quick.
If they can get great momentum and qualify for the tournament (and I’m convinced they will qualify although I highly respect Bosnia they have a great side) Italy is a strong team not to be messed with still.
The only thing that should fear Italians fans is that momentum/trust in themselves aspect, because respectfully Italy on paper shouldn’t fear any side participating this last qualifier round and Bosnia neither.
But if you’re not going to perform full intensity and will to win tomorrow beside using your quality/talent Bosnia is going to knock them out because certain Bosnia will bring that.
If Italy gives 99,99 instead of 100% tommorow they are going to be knocked out.
I'm so glad you are underestimating us🇧🇦, we know we don't have anything to lose do you?😂 we have a very good team and if we lose we lost from better team but if you lose it's going to be doomsday how you going to go back to Italy it will be National disaster
Of course we need to go to the world cup, but the younglings won't feel the same excitement we had until 2006 because Italy's not expected to potentially go as far as the final. Now we know we're not even underdogs. It's arguably more important for the players because obviously they lack the confidence necessary to perform at highest level
I hope not.
