How did Italy do so well just 5 years ago in 2021 (at the Euro cup) But it hasnât even qualified for World Cup since 2014. iâm American, so I donât know the dynamics, of soccer powerhouse countries.
I predict Baggio will become the new SAVIOR of Italian soccer. Heâs been through sooo much and has weathered so much criticism not only from others but it seems that he has been feeling sooo much guilt and heart ache since that penalty in 1994. He has stated that he dreams of it every night. And itâs visible how hurt and how hard it is for him. However he was and will always be a true hero when it comes to Italian football. So it only seems fitting that he will end up being the one who is in charge and rebuilds the whole program form the bottom up. He will build the foundation of how Italy was and is known to be. It would be the perfect story and ending for a true Italian here. He deserves this and sooo much more. A true Italian legend and national treasure. I predict he will be the one. Heâs gonna do for everyone and also for himself. That would be incredible for him and the game of soccer. FORZA BAGGIO!!! FORZA ITALIA! đźđč
Gravina is a fool and the root of the problems with Italian futbol……time to elect people that know how to play soccer to guide italy back to greatness
4 time champs
Baggio saw it coming. But losers dismissed his 900 pages proposal for reforms and strategy in 10 minutes.
I haven't read any common sense comment yet in this page. Infantilism !
They need the players who won the fourth world cup to bring their heads together for the experience they shared.
Why is this panel disrespecting Bosnia? These guests forget that Bosnia has a rich football history with elite players from the Yugoslav era until today. This is their second World Cup, and in the last 15 years, theyâve played in 6 playoffsâtwo of those against Portugal. In 2014, they were robbed against Nigeria. Don't underestimate a small nation of 3 million people!
Maybe we will ….
Would it hurt any less if they lost to a bigger team?
UNDER 21 VERY VERY STRONG
SEE YOU AT THE EUROS
THANK YOU VIOLENT MUSLIM FOR THE 2006 WORLD CUP
Every time Italy wins or loses itâs always that they did not deserve to win . They said it after the 2006 World Cup . They said it after the 2020 euros . Theyâre even saying it after the northern Ireland game . Italy never deserves to win anything according to some of these idiots.
Itâs always a loud mouth with a British accent criticizing the Italian national team. Meanwhile Italy has missed three consecutive world cups and has still more international trophies than any of these other countries. This arrogant guy says he doesnât care about what people say in his comments. Well we donât care about anything you have to say either.
Baggio, Maldini and Mancini would be great
Another major issue is that Italy's transition to a more diverse society has been very slow, while the rest of the big European football (France, Germany, England and Spain) has embraced this diversity, Italy has been very slow. France, Germany, England and Spain have regularly drawn from its diverse pool, but Italy lacks this diversity. Italy's last World Cup goal was actually scored by Mario Balotelli and he wasn't treated very well by the Italian fans; the Italian media even blamed him for Italy's first round exit from their last World Cup – scapegoating the only black player in the Italian team. These are issues that Italy as a society has not properly addressed and elaborated.
âRelease the Baggio files
â Retrieve the Baggio files from the garbage bin and apologize to Baggio
Gattuso's tactically limited…Sorry to say this but its truth be told.
Juventus is terrible example, because Yildiz is Turkish! They need to do that with Italian kids! Let Turkey develop Turkish players.
The "Catenaccio" style of football they once played no longer threatens… the sport has countered and evolved. The Italian football federation/infrastructure etc. hasn't evolved with it. The entire Moggi scandal, showed were their focus was. Even if they started change today, its gong take at least a decade to see truly competitive results. Its going to be interesting to see how long it will take them to even qualify again 2030, 2034..? DAMN… that would mean 25+yrs without a qualifier. At that point they couldn't bring up the past (4 Cups) with a straight face. THATS WHATS AT STAKE NOW! THEIR ENTIRE FOOTBALL LEGACY STANDING.
Everyone talking about Italy but in fact Bosnia has really good team right now…
âitalian soccer federationâ
iâm done with this channel
Baggio wanted purpose built academies in Italy funded by FIGC/Government. He was very ambitious with the number but Italy needs them through which build youth football, technical and athletic excellence and integrate them with European tournament participation from a young age so young Italians understand European football. Through these academies, the clubs can scout efficiently.
But the big thing is in how incentives are brought in to target the Serie A clubs to play Italians. Financial awards against quotas for playing Italians, tax levy's and penalties against clubs that dont. They need to go hard line against the clubs who dont play Italians. Make the owners recognise the investment is in the interests.
I dont believe we can introduce foreigner player limits as it breaks away from EU laws bosman ruling etc and FIGC and Italy would end up picking up fines for it.
But incentives are needed
They all need to go from the top
Bro I thought Del Piero was your idol now u saying Gattuso?Smh!
FINALLY
italy will win a wc or euro before england!!
Did you see the list of names who are in the running to be president?
A whole lot of dinosaurs lining up đ

As an American, what are the Baggio files?
Could somebody explain why a WC qualifying game was played like 3+ months after all the other teams qualified (& were selected) for the 2026 World Cup.
Italy must take Pep Guadiola or Zidane as their coach if the want to qualify for the next world cup 2030
So the Italian federation really expected Gatuso an incompetent coach to qualify them for the world cup. Jokers
