I admired Italy this time around. No world-class players, no decent strikers or play makers. It felt like Conte put together a bunch of amatures and taught them how to play like a team. They knocked out Spain and almost knocked out Germany, and in both cases, Buffon helped a lot XD

Excited to see what Conte will do at Chelsea next season. 

Leichester 2.0, now that the German curse is over, it's time for the UK champion coach curse :p

But now seriously tell me what's up with Zaza ? I haven't seen the match but I know he once played in the team of a city nearby where I live...

A nobody, really. He plays for Juve now and he scored some goals this season. I don't know how he made it to the national team, but I guess Italy has been severely lacking talent for years. Conte decided to send him in at minute 120, just so that he could help with the penalties, and he missed his shot. 

I blame Conte to be honest, you just don't make that kind of sub unless you are sending in someone with talent and vast experience like Del Piero. 

I remember Anelka going through a similar experience with Chelsea, they were playing against MAN U, the champions league finale, he was sub'ed in at minute 120 and missed the penalty and it cost Chelsea the title.
