They have a defensive playstyle, making nearly all of their matches boring to watch. They don't try to win by dominating the other team.

Terrible? Are you nuts broseph?
Because of the coach's terrible choices of picking who plays and doesn't, is a result of their loss so early.
A lot of great players should have been called to play, but instead they sat at their homes watching Italy get owned because they weren't there.
Buffon has been crowned several times as the best goalie in the international league, and he could have stopped almost every shot that was taken on net that Marchetti missed.
Italy isn't only defense.

Putting the blame solely on the coach is wrong. Or do you want to imply that Italy only has about a dozen of talented players, so if half of them can't play for whatever reason, then the team is worth nothing? What Italy has shown in their three matches falls pretty much in line with their usual performance in the group phase of a big tournament. This time they just didn't have their usual luck, so they got eliminated.
Against Paraguay, they weren't good, they played lousy. Against New Zealand, they looked helpless, barely able to get close to scoring a goal. Against Slovakia, they did nearly nothing and only started to play football after the wake up call that was the 2-0. Out of possible 270 minutes, Italy showed what they are capable of for roughly 15 minutes. Good riddance I say.
When was the last time that Italy went through a major tournament and people said "Wow, they are playing great, who's possibly going to stop them at this rate?" Maybe that happened before I was born, but not during my lifetime.

The coach even blamed it fully on himself in an interview.
World Cup 2006, I think they played great. A team doesn't win a world cup, or even advance into the last 16 unless they are doing something good. Doing what they did ended up in a fourth world cup, world champions.
Nobody expected Italy to go far at all this year, because the coach's poor choice of players.
Marcello Lippi is done anyways, there will be a new coach for 2012 euro cup and 2014 world cup. Hopefully he makes some good choices to get Italy back.
Regardless of whatever you say, four stars.

There you go, that's the answer. They didn't do shit, that's why they are out. They suck anyways. The ultra defensive game is the worst that can happen in a football match. It's not even football damn it....
I'm very happy italy is out.
|
it's football and no rule says it's not, a fact that beats your opinion.
get happy for them being kicked out but don't get stupid with such stupid claims.
|
Stupid claims? Are you dumb? If you are happy about teams that practice antifootball (I didnt give that name...) well, it's ok.
Is not a stupid claim, is my opinion. And a lot of people agree with it. You are the one sayin' stupid shit, not me. Italy is known in the whole world for playing antifootball.... not my fault. Again, I didn't give that name, and I'm not the only one saying it for a reason.
|
bolded: point it out the stupid shit I said please.
you said it, it's an opinion, just because people agree with you that doesn't make it a fact, lots of people here troll the wii because it's not hardcore enough, doesn't make them right.
no rule in football ban getting defensive , simple solid fact.
