I'm sorry for all of the fellow Spanish users, I don't know why we ended up in the top 8 in the first place, probably some of our corrupted politicians paid for Italy to win so that we focus on the tournament instead of the fall that our stocks are going trough after the Brexit. Imho Buffon was the only decent player for Italy in the entire tournament, and I keep asking myself why he wasn't replaced 5 or so years ago

It's always fun/weird to see how Italians have little faith on their national team. As you can see on this thread, Germans respect/fear you a lot. Here in Brazil we also respect Italy a lot, we say that they always have a chance at winning any tournament even if the odds are against them. So don't be like that! And don't mix politics with football, those 2 shouldn't go together.

 

Oh, don't even classify me as an italian when it's about football that we're talking about, I'm the most anti-football person in the entire country, not because of the game itself which at it's roots seems quite enjoyable, but how our (italian) society completely ruins it. I'd like to not talk about politics but it's kinda hard when you find out that a tournament was "sold" almost every month (of course only for football)
