FML79

@vcatalina96 @sportscaddy It was actually losing 2-0 to France when all they needed to do was lose by 1 in the last group game … even worse.

By the way, this was the game that sent Italy into a qualifying group with that insane Norway team, subsequently leading to them missing out on their third straight World Cup.

@sportscaddy Paolo Maldini capo FIGC. Subito.

The frustrating thing about Italy missing a third straight World Cup isn't just that Italy missed another World Cup. It's that so many people will have good ideas about how to improve things, pitching ways to fundamentally change a system that has allowed this venerable establishment to atrophy, and none of it will matter. The same arrogant charlatans who've witnessed this catastrophe over and over again will continue to drive Italian football into the ground. It's the helplessness that really grinds. It's only been a few hours and FIGC president Gabriele Gravina is already trying his best to maintain the status quo. He has normalized the very embarrassing reality of missing a World Cup. But he is only one of the many self-important people in the FIGC who make a mockery of the Italian game. His overall apathy is a part of a broader pattern of conceit that has discouraged input from the likes of Roberto Baggio, and more recently ostracized Alessandro Del Perio, Paolo Maldini, and Carlo Ancelotti. The FIGC isn't interested in talking to the people who matter because they'll make the people who think they matter look silly. It's a power struggle as old as time: Politics hold back the Italian game, and as long as the same rotation of political opportunists control it, Italy will never regain its place. These people, who pat each other on the back and hire their friends and act as if they have royal assent, hold hostage a team that really belongs to the tens of millions of Italians who have lost another opportunity to show their pride on the global stage. We can't talk about the shortcomings in youth development, or the overemphasis on individual tactics, or the abandonment of defensive principles, until these people are gone.

@tancredipalmeri Logically … it should be the top ranked fifa team not qualified …

Re Iran withdrawing from World Cup: if it will really be - I think we won’t know until May - then FIFA have all power to decide the replacement. Logically should be the first not qualified from Asia (and Asia express 47 votes for Infantino…), but any possibility is open

@CalcioFinanza Perché non la prima nel ranking non già qualificata ….

L’Iran non partecipa ai Mondiali? Chi la può sostituire: cosa dice il regolamento della FIFA calcioefinanza.it/2026/03/02/chi…

@NonEvoluto Mancini mai. E neanche mai in nazionale. Esempio del male del calcio.

#Gatti, al pari del giallorosso #Mancini, sono giocatori che mai vorrei vedere in maglia rossonera, e non credo servano ulteriori spiegazioni, ci siamo capiti.

@Bonetti Wait til he adds 30 for Musah!

Igli Tare getting €62m for Malick Thiaw and Noah Okafor is amazing. But that Reijnders fee is looking like a better deal for City each passing day..

@NonEvoluto Alessandro, sei nun grande milanista ma questo tweet da itali americano non piace per niente. Non fare il moralista. Siamo italiani in tutto il mondo. Ho visto scene in Italia da quarto mondo.

Quando in campo è scattata la rissa, sugli spalti hanno pensato fosse iniziato un incontro di wrestling. 🇺🇸

@Bonetti Well. Agents in the Indian cricket league might not require commissions but this is a different world. It is three years now. Let’s wake up.

This is embarrassing for Milan

@Bonetti Absolutely true but he’s been a total cancer for two years. If there was a +/- metric linked to decisive moments he’s been involved in for his performances over the last two years he’d be near the bottom of the team.

Theo's not wrong

@garante_il @FabrizioRomano Non è difficile. 30 fissi. 5 bonus per qualificazione alla CL in 25-26. 3 per lo scudetto se arriva in due anni. Non dobbiamo sempre fare i fenomeni

Il Milan è pronto a migliorare la sua proposta per Jashari. La posizione del giocatore è molto chiara: vuole solo andare al Milan @FabrizioRomano

@tancredipalmeri Siamo sorpresi?

2 Inter fans beaten up at Inter-River full whistle. Myself I saw 2nd half in same stand and witnessed bunch of Argentinian fans threatening single Inter fans around. The worst? Argentinians had sons 3 years old with them, to whom they’d say “Later we’re gonna kill the Italians”

@Bonetti Forse. We were spoiled for 30 yrs by having talent everywhere. Top 5 players in their position benched in the 90s. Three weeks ago no one would have complained about Bastoni, Barella, Tonali, Gigio. Problem is no forward, no speed, and no one who can dribble.

Hard to disagree with Gazzetta's headline about the Italian National Team: "The problem isn't the manager. Very few top players, the Azzurri are beaten by their own mediocrity"

@garante_il @86_longo Grande. Si può allenare con Origi!

Qualora Theo non riuscisse a portare una squadra con la cifra concordata col procuratore, c’è anche il rischio che il giocatore possa rimanere fuori dalle liste @86_longo (via RadioRossonera)

@AntoVitiello Speriamo che resta in tribuna.

Contatti in corso tra #Milan e #Chelsea per trovare un accordo sulle cifre di #Maignan. La posizione di #Maignan: vuole andare nel club inglese, lo ha comunicato già ad #Allegri e alla dirigenza. Spera che Milan e Chelsea trovino un accordo, ma se non dovessero trovarlo resterebbe al Milan senza rinnovare il contratto. Resterebbe per un altro anno fino alla scadenza, senza prolungare. Sulle cifre dell’affare, il Milan chiede oltre 20 milioni, dialoghi ancora in corso in questi minuti.

@Bonetti None of us should be surprised. We’ve become a complete joke. The day before a match. Unreal.

Had to happen There was excitement over Spalletti’s appointment, especially after it came after his wonderful Napoli Scudetto season… His time with the Azzurri has been nothing short of a massive disappointment.

@MilanNewsit @SkyKaveh Semplice. Portaci 30mm o fai la riserva nel anno del mondiale. Basta. Facciamo come Lotito. L’unico con le ⚽️⚽️@Bonetti

@Bonetti Pathetic all around. But there will be a Ripescaggio .. there is always a bankruptcy to save them.

Sometimes my cousin sends me photos of the pitches he plays on in Serie D, and tells me stories of what goes on behind the scenes. It's the wild wild west, believe me. Getting out of this league is absolutely brutal. It's hard to overstate how disastrous this is for Milan Futuro

Thread: My cousin plays in Serie D and now has the chance to play against Milan Futuro. This isn't like going from League 1 to League 2 in England. The gulf between Serie C and Serie D is the difference between a professional & semi-professional athlete.
