Italy can sit back and absorb the pressure and then hit you on the counter. I think they've improved a lot. Fair play to Mancini.

italy deserved to win man

Remember that Italy, with half of the talent Brazil had in 1982, beat them with a solid teamwork. This is an italian classic

Very organized and composed performance for Italy. With better finishing, they would have won. Kean missed a sitter.

FORZA AZZURRI 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹❤❤❤❤ SEMPRE ❤🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹❤❤❤❤

Doesn't change much but the stats show only one save by Maignan. It should be two, both off Kean chances (missed opportunity in first half and header tipped onto the bar).
Overall, good team effort. Still a lot to improve but hopefully that will come with time. Kayode was immense and Frattesi too. Pleasantly surprised by Seb Esposito and Vergara's performances.

Good Job Haj!!!

You say France didn't create much, but honestly I only saw a superb Donnarumma tonight. We can't expect him to save us every time. I'm happy with the result, but performances like this won't always be enough. Kean never seems to come up with the decisive goal, and after falling behind we were rescued by a centre-back. That tells you all you need to know about how far we still are from the world's top five teams.

Watching Italy play is like watching 10 center-backs and a goalkeeper on the pitch, they are very good at defending, got a mediocre midfield, and can't score for sheit, but still looked way too good in this game, and I love a good defense.

💪🏻💙🇮🇹

Long way to go but a step in the right direction for once

We can’t match their talents but if we allow young italian players to play we can get close to them. Rembember that 2 weeks ago Allegri talk about Vergara and said calm with hin he is young and only play few games for Napoli he is not ready (he is 23) and can be so much better than Politano score and assist more with Napoli with less playing time.

Italy would've been better off playing with 10 men than having Kean on the pitch. He was just as bad at Juventus, Everton, Fiorentina, and now Como. I honestly don't understand how people still rate him. He misses far too many chances, and it feels like every club he plays for has the same problem.

Spot on analysis! Italy definitely had the better quality of chances and should have scored more. And let's be honest, Donnarumma’s attitude can be toxic sometimes, but those saves were incredible—only he could do that. But looking at the bigger picture, this felt like Zidane's experiment match. France used this game to try new things and see how they can play without Mbappe. In 1v1 battles and 50/50 challenges, Italy really struggled to complete their passes, even though France was starting players who usually come off the bench. It shows how insane France's depth is under Zidane. But no matter what, I’ll never stop supporting the Azzurri. I sincerely hope to see the resurrection and revival of Italian football soon! Forza Azzurri!

I ❤ accomplishments

Amen❤

AND...you all still believe italia have no talent?

i said it thousand times, it is A PROPAGANDA.
IF you keep repeat it, one day you all believe it as a facts LOL

agents want to selling their foreign players to italy club because FIGC have no limit for foreigner in seri arse.
that is why they paid buzzer, influencer to keep saying like a robot : italy have no talent.
thats bullsht.
in the hand of a coach who can give them confidence, BOOM suddenly 100M euro EPL mancheat city midfielder, 100M euro PSG midfielder and 100M euro madrid midfielder look like normal players LOL
no better than frosinone who play with 7 italian starter.
its a lie
PROPAGANDA.
italia have so much talents, they just have to be brave enough to give those youngster a chance.
look how mister bean play controlling midfield like he is the 2nd coming of veratti, how much is his value? 18M euro?
fagioli is  sacrificed for poopmeiners and douglas luis, does those foreigner better? no.
italy have a lot talents. its a country of football.

modern bullsht called it "HIGH PRESSING"
italy already played catenaccio since 1940, 80years before klop or your god of cheater pep guardiola play high pressing LOL
why its called catenaccio, because its italy who popularized that playing style.

stop believe in BS, the internet is full of BS, propaganda, programming, brainwashing, lies.

I can see where people will say if it wasn't for this, or for that.. The outcome would be different. Realistically speaking, the final score is all that matters. As for team comparison. You can't compare to the talent that oozes from France. But talent didn't matter. It never does. It helps, but Italy played a great game collectively. Italy have shown they can compete with the best even though they don't have the big names. Because it doesn't matter. Todays game proves that theory.

I agree with you on Fagioli and Tonali but they should have changed positions. Fagioli should’ve been the one in front of the defence where tonali should’ve been the box to box midfielder doing the physical work. When you watch the game you see Fagioli drifts inside to the middle of the field leaving the left side completely opened which hurts Italy when they defend and even attacking

I disagree with you on Sebastiano. I think he played a great game.

Moise kean is not a RW so I didnt like his game until he became the center striker

When we play against physical strong team like France , should we play with more black players like Udogie, Doumbia, Zoma ？
