  1. This is just paparazzi work. Italy has no reason to be disrespectful…they are risking to lose the opp to go to the world cup. They are not the favorite in any match…so why should they be happy? Bosnia won over Wales, meaning they are dangerous.thats nonsense

  2. if you watched italy serie a and their national team perform since existance you will know that they take pride in playing defense you will not see a lot of goals scored 4,5,6 like in other leagues

  3. A lot of the Italian players are friends with Bosnian players who play or played in Italy. My understanding is they were happy their friends beat Wales. Also, the idea that in competitive sports a team waiting for their next opponent has a preference of which team to play isn’t “disrespect” but simply a natural human reaction anyone would have. But, the internet is hypocrisy in motion, isn’t it?

  4. Bosnia was 10 minutes away from direct qualification to WC. On the other hand, Italy was nowhere near. They got destroyed by Norway not once but twice and trailing 6 points behind them.
    Bosnia is clear favorite to win. They play home, they are side growing in confidence and they have superstriker Dzeko. I just hope referees will be fair and not help Italians in any way

  5. It looks like a television with high budget, and they could easily find higher-quality presenters. Why do they have these people talking about football who, to be honest, are awful and know nothing about football? Why don't they get better ones ? I think any European, including me, would have a greater knowledge than these four put together. It seems like they have no competence or technical knowledge of the game of football or how it works.

  6. I really wonder these days what qualifies some one to give an analysis on games, a lot of these 'pundits' seem to go more on opinions. Yes Italy's standards have dropped compared to what it used to be, but Northern Ireland was really poor, yet the comments seem to imply that they Italy,struggled to beat NI😅

  7. As an italian I really hope Italy loose against Bosnia. There are things in life that must not be done, one of these is not to belittle your opponent.

  8. Bla bla bla bla bla. The usual cheap polemic to inflate the game. As an Italian I say that nobody has disrespected Bosnian people. Football is a game, not a war. May the best team on the day win.

  9. Italy disrespects itself. We are so bad the we need any possible single advantage unfortunately…. For a reason Galles was considered more tricky match. But surprise to see that celebration

  10. As a Bosnian we don't care who we play. We are more than Happy to play against Italy. Honestly we can go head to head against anyone, give us Brazil, Germany, or France. We don't mind, we are the underdog anyways. We got more to Win than to Lose, Italy has more to Lose than to win.
