I’m sad we lost, but glad that Italy won..so yeah. Good Job Italy, we love you.
To the Serbs that are badmouthing and mocking us for losing, it’s not smart to do such a thing when you’re playing England today. What goes around comes around.
This is not the r/conspiracytheories sub.. this is the sub about football; respectively European Championship. Refrain yourself from trolling and behave
Yeah ENG instead played amazing football yesterday... I bet millions of new fans fell in love with this sport watching english players faint like an old man in the heat every time someone was near them.
Damn dude, i really like england but Please dont be mad, maybe this time it's coming home but the previus final we attack all the time and you deserve to lose.
I mean you can also have a very entertaining but strategic way of playing. But you can't expect a team to play at this level and not to try their best with their tactics, even if it's boring: in the end they are all athletes trying their best to win one of the most important competitions ever.
Yes. English fans are toxic and some of them suck.
Yes, England is a second-tier team AT BEST.
But every WC and Euro is always better when Italy is not around. England at least you can have fun mocking them, with Italy it's just an endless sea of boredom and misery and frustration.
Like you’re any better? I’ve been watching since the 2014 World Cup (I’m young and American ok) and England constantly disappoints. For one of your best ever squads, they sure know how to choke in the biggest moments, don’t they
Lol you are probably very young.
1982 we defeat all the best.
2006 we win versus the strongest ever France
2021 england team Rob the semi final, we defeat the best (the Belgium is n1 in table and Spain was Awesome) and them you arrive and shit on your pants.
Take it and look forward for a better end
People have been salty against Italy for as long as I can remember. Nothing the team does is appreciated. They always throw salt at every single move.
After 20+ years of the same stupid insults, I've learned to ignore and move on.
>I definitely see you guys in the final.
Naa thanks for the Hope but the are really too many strongest team this time.
I bet on a england spain final
I just enjoy the good matches this time.
Wish you best anyway...The soccer is fun mostly because is not the favorite that take the price!
They’re pretend they’re a top team like Spain, Italy, Germany, France, and for some reason act like they’re near-favourites every time, but in reality they’re a second tier team - decent, but not in that top tier the way they think they are. They’re overrated when you actually look at the numbers, basically. Some people also take issue with their fans, especially with recent incidents of racism, disrespect, and violence.
Just like their beloved Premier League. Overrated. Manchester City won the Champions League a year ago against Internazionale cause of sheer luck with a stupid bounce of a rebound. Inter was in control of that match, yet somehow that fraud Spaniard coach is seen as a genious.
I can tell you everyone who isn’t Italian HATES watching you guys play. You have a talented team how are you so boring man? Worst game of the tournament by far.
Do you understand that the issue was that Albania played as if 2-1 was a good result for them? It's not our fault if the opponent is just looking for a not too bad goal difference in the hope of getting three points against Croatia and then qualify as one of the 4 best-3rd.
We didn't push enough in the second half, we kept controlling the ball but our opponents were not trying to get it back and not opening spaces. We are still trying to improve as it's not easy to adapt to Spalletti.
To achieve that you need to have won a title to defend, very sad that England with their super entertaining football loved by adults, children and animals doesn't seem capable to do that
The only way you won the euros last time was because Chellini yanked Saka’s shirt and dragged him into the stands. He did that because it was the only way to stop us from scoring. And you won on a 50/50 (penalties) so I wouldn’t be as proud as most of you are.
So we won because we did something included in the rules, a foul. And you are giving for granted that the kid would have scored, I don't know, he didn't seem that cold in front of Donnarumma some minutes later.
>so I wouldn’t be as proud as most of you are.
Yeah I'm sure all the english fans turned off the tv after the final and said "we are so happy and proud" 😂
Wouldn't have scored 'cause he controlled the ball with an arm; it was an wholesome and iconic moment though, glad you mentioned it. Penalties are not chance, it's a great deal about talent, technique, composure and good keepers.
His arm touched the ball cuz Chiellini yanked his shirt from behind his neck as hard as he could… naturally he was off balance so his arm touched the ball. I loved you’re performance during the World Cup btw 😂😂 absolute joke of a country every country laughs at the Italians but that was especially funny
I don’t mean in football your country is a joke in general everyone knows that, enjoy that win cuz ur not getting anything else. Can’t wait for your irrelevant country to get knocked out and well done in the World Cup, couldn’t even get past the knock out stages 😂😂😂 Now go eat a pizza or something you poor mf
I wish I had this confidence. Seeing how they played 2nd half, it doesn't make me feel any good for the Spain match.
Spain has been playing like this for a long time and they are way better than us on that. They are faster, more precise and aggressive and they manage to do all that for 90mn.
We only did it good for 45 and then 2nd half was a disaster.
What can you do when the opponent team is defending behind midfield: don't worry the answer is easy, you keep on passing until same space is available to try something
I'm sure what they meant is that, rather than showing off, a more aggressive attitude would have made the game more interesting. By aggressiveness I mean focusing on scoring more rather than just defending the achieved result. This is something I agree with, it was as if, after they scored that second goal, their job was done and they just waited for the match to end. I can't watch a match like that til the end, I fell asleep.
Fuck... I feel so frustrated...
The way Italy plays with time the whole time keeping the ball steadily since the last 60 minutes in their possession and then the false judgement of the ref not giving the corner ball???
This game is so frustrating...
I don't mind how Italy plays, but your goalkeeper clearly touched the ball, but no corner ball was given.
That's what frustrates me, more than anything.
That's not fair though. He's not the referee. Not player would ever do that if it wasn't in their favour. That would be pretty stupid. That's why you only see them complain when they think they did nothing or the other did something. But no one will ever complain to correct the referee on their own mistake.
I mean, for what are even the VAR's there?
It's supposed to be checked so things like that don't happen.
It's like the call from the ref in Bayern at the champion league against real Madrid.
True enough. Still, if we saw it clearly, it should have been clear in the stadium, too, and partially, everyone else.
Donoruma should have admitted when he noticed it wasn't a corner ball that he touched it.
But well... yep... didn't go that way.
Anyway, I'm hoping the next match becomes more exciting.
Dude, Germany has Neuer as a goalkeeper who is raising his arm every single time, hoping to get the advantage even though nothing happened. Why are you even talking?
sigurisht kan mujt me lujt ma mir dhe me mbaru lojen 2:2. nuk e di pse paten aq shum frik nga italianet. 50.000 shikus shqiptar dhe apet lujten pa shpirt. turp.
2-1 win for Italy with their reputation for playing the worst style of football the world has ever seen solidly intact. See you all tomorrow for the next installment of highly concentrated but ultimately harmless xenophobia lads
This coming from English men and supporters is so fun. Like if England hasn't played like shit for most of it's history... the team was unfun even when you had Lampard, Gerard, Rooney and all the other supposed great of your times.. you were boring most of the time even with Beckham!
I would accept it coming from Spain or Brazil or Argentina... but from England? It is just a big lol
The joke has a very simple structure. As you probably know Cromwell is a historic figure that lived in your dear island many many years ago, Wikipedia tells us that he dies in 1658. That's long ago, just like England last victory in an international tournament (in 1966, maybe you can find some black and white picture), it's strange that such an amazing football syle wins so rarely, when our boring football made me go celebrate in the streets 2 times already in my lifetime
Italy was better but the refereeing was absolutely shameful. I say this as a neutral person who obviously sympathizes with Italy. But my goodness, Europeans are so corrupt and shameless!
We're still not in our better shape and we clearly need to concoct a better style, we need time. A lot of these players didn't play together much, we'll grow. First half shows promise
I'm watching the follow up on the Rai and there seems to be hope at least. Spalletti wasn't happy at all either. He doesn't want them to play to comfortably, he wants aggressivity and I like that.
I just hope he can teach that now to the team.
Definitely needs to be some sorta system to avoid teams being robbed of corners. Not sure how they could implement it without completely destroying the flow of the match though

Haha that last part ended up being true
YESSS YESSS ALBANIA LOSSSEE LOSERS LOSERS HAHAHAHAHA
This comment aged like a carton of milk that has been left sitting on the roof of a car during a summer heat wave.
ALBANIA LOOOOSEEE LOSER LOSER LOOOOSEEE
We lost but we’re not losers, what’s wrong with you 😂
Losing makes you a loser. That's how it works.
Exactly. That’s exactly how it works. Bellingham is your daddy
[удалено]
Doesn’t change the fact that England defeated you though 🙃
Stealing Serbian Kidneys is not a profession
This is not the r/conspiracytheories sub.. this is the sub about football; respectively European Championship. Refrain yourself from trolling and behave
Yeah, it's a sub about the foot balls you don't have
Now you have a chance to play better against England
What a Loser
Cope, bozo
No go play against England instead
Ew, gross, Ingerland
Brother you guys can't finish for your lives.
1-0 yall suck cant even score
And y'all were too poor to own cars or even learn to drive them until 1991 smh y'all got bigger problems to deal with lol
Stop downvoting yall it’s Balkan saltiness, peak entertainment
I personally love to see it
И шта су ти урадили брате?
For the ones saying this was a boring game. How old are you? Because this is how Italy plays ALWAYS .
Yeah ENG instead played amazing football yesterday... I bet millions of new fans fell in love with this sport watching english players faint like an old man in the heat every time someone was near them.
Don't worry lads, it's coming home!!!!!
Damn dude, i really like england but Please dont be mad, maybe this time it's coming home but the previus final we attack all the time and you deserve to lose.
Last Euros Italy was much more fun. Even in the final Italy to a degree played much better than England (since half time).
Ok Italian
Good game mate! Very funny!
Oh boohoo
No they don't.
No we don't
They play how the sport is meant to played. Strategically. Showing off is for teams that don't know how to play properly.
I mean you can also have a very entertaining but strategic way of playing. But you can't expect a team to play at this level and not to try their best with their tactics, even if it's boring: in the end they are all athletes trying their best to win one of the most important competitions ever.
Kicking a ball really hard isn't a career lol
The ragebait is obvious. Try again lmao 🤡🤡🤡
Yeah, and you're taking it bozo
Kind of like how your mom took it up the ass last night?
Oh yeah? Yo mama so Stupid, she thought Tupac Shakur was a holiday
Damn that was a boring game Should have been a corner at the end
It’s coming to Rome!
It’s coming home
2 Merda players scored fucking puke
Y u even in here gtfo
We don't claim this one.
😂😂😂😂
Jesus Christ is this what defending has been brought too? It’s like these players are afraid of doing anything.
It was a nice equal game. Albania played well
ITT: lots of still salty english people.
Yes. English fans are toxic and some of them suck. Yes, England is a second-tier team AT BEST. But every WC and Euro is always better when Italy is not around. England at least you can have fun mocking them, with Italy it's just an endless sea of boredom and misery and frustration.
Keep crying tho
England never won shit except when they robbed Germany lol
And 2 euros and 4 worldcups. Something you will never see in your lifetime.
I mean, 2 of the 4 were in 1934 and 1938... So I guess almost nobody saw them in their lifetime
A 19 year old itailain was alive during a world cup and a euro. What other 19 years old europeans can say that only spainiards.
Omg cope.
Like you’re any better? I’ve been watching since the 2014 World Cup (I’m young and American ok) and England constantly disappoints. For one of your best ever squads, they sure know how to choke in the biggest moments, don’t they
You are correct and that's why it's so fun to watch xD. Contrary to Italy which is ALWAYS a misery fest, win or lose.
What were english supporters singing last Euro? It's coming home? We are still laughing at you guys.
6 rings though
None of them deserved, but 👍
Lol you are probably very young. 1982 we defeat all the best. 2006 we win versus the strongest ever France 2021 england team Rob the semi final, we defeat the best (the Belgium is n1 in table and Spain was Awesome) and them you arrive and shit on your pants. Take it and look forward for a better end
AHAHAHAHAHAHA ok, thank you for clarifying the merit of victories!
AHAHAH! Here, have a vial of concentrated copium, extra-strenght for your extra needs
LOL
People have been salty against Italy for as long as I can remember. Nothing the team does is appreciated. They always throw salt at every single move. After 20+ years of the same stupid insults, I've learned to ignore and move on.
Biggest frauds of European football. Living off the glory of a WC from the 60s
And, you know, the last euro...
He means England. They were able to win just by paying referees on their own fields.
Absolutely adore this. Even if I had some criticism of our game today, they make me love every single moment of it. Priceless
[удалено]
You play a good match. Have lot of friend here that root Albanian
[удалено]
>I definitely see you guys in the final. Naa thanks for the Hope but the are really too many strongest team this time. I bet on a england spain final I just enjoy the good matches this time. Wish you best anyway...The soccer is fun mostly because is not the favorite that take the price!
Fr I don't understand the hate
They’re pretend they’re a top team like Spain, Italy, Germany, France, and for some reason act like they’re near-favourites every time, but in reality they’re a second tier team - decent, but not in that top tier the way they think they are.

City won because of 115 frauds that allowed them to build a fantastic team.
They’re fat, uneducated, ugly, I could go on for days.
England 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
They never win shit and when they thought they were finally going to in the last euro, we came to their home and fucked them over. I get it.
🤣 we love to see it
I get it but it's still kind of pathetic. Not that I don't appreciate it, mind you
Spalletti bringing back pure Italian football I don’t know how to feel about this right now
Spagetti robing a corner against a much lower team, i dont know how i feel about that
to be fair, it was impossible for the ref to see that from that position and distance and no, the var doesn't check things like that
Be angry to the referee though not us. The team didnt rob anything. The referee was blind.
I can tell you everyone who isn’t Italian HATES watching you guys play. You have a talented team how are you so boring man? Worst game of the tournament by far.
That’s simply not true. Italy played really well.
Do you understand that the issue was that Albania played as if 2-1 was a good result for them?

We are still trying to improve as it's not easy to adapt to Spalletti.
someone didn't watch Croatia vs Spain 😂 atleast the first half. yes, they scored 3 goals because Croatia defended like shit
It will get better and you'll cry even more
Will message you when you go out in the group and have the most embarrassing title defence
Message us when you win anything at all since 1966. Copium and beans on toast
To achieve that you need to have won a title to defend, very sad that England with their super entertaining football loved by adults, children and animals doesn't seem capable to do that

Every country cheered us for defeating you forever losing frauds, are you on heavy drugs or just stupid?
I don’t mean in football your country is a joke in general everyone knows that, enjoy that win cuz ur not getting anything else. Can’t wait for your irrelevant country to get knocked out and well done in the World Cup, couldn’t even get past the knock out stages 😂😂😂 Now go eat a pizza or something you poor mf
Please keep at it, your bitterness is good luck
I wish I had this confidence. Seeing how they played 2nd half, it doesn't make me feel any good for the Spain match.

We only did it good for 45 and then 2nd half was a disaster.
Italy are an absolute bore to watch. Passing around the back for the entire second half.
What can you do when the opponent team is defending behind midfield: don't worry the answer is easy, you keep on passing until same space is available to try something
I mean, does it need to be entertaining? Don't think showing off brings many goals man
I'm sure what they meant is that, rather than showing off, a more aggressive attitude would have made the game more interesting. By aggressiveness I mean focusing on scoring more rather than just defending the achieved result. This is something I agree with, it was as if, after they scored that second goal, their job was done and they just waited for the match to end.

And now cope loser
Poland lost wow big shocker. Did not see them as favorites anyways. Still a more entertaining game than Italy.
Holland is a fav... So you play a good match
Its ok, but winning is important
Fuck... I feel so frustrated... The way Italy plays with time the whole time keeping the ball steadily since the last 60 minutes in their possession and then the false judgement of the ref not giving the corner ball??? This game is so frustrating...
[удалено]
I don't mind how Italy plays, but your goalkeeper clearly touched the ball, but no corner ball was given. That's what frustrates me, more than anything.
You act like it was a blown penalty call. Calm down.
That's on the referee though, not Italy. And the referee was German I think 😂. Weird that he wouldn't side with Albania more.
Not precisely. Donoruma knew he touched the ball but didn't do anything.
you are a good example of why germans must never be allowed to lead a untied Europe
That's not fair though. He's not the referee. Not player would ever do that if it wasn't in their favour. That would be pretty stupid. That's why you only see them complain when they think they did nothing or the other did something. But no one will ever complain to correct the referee on their own mistake.
It happens a lot in football, I don't what other sports are you watching instead. No scandal
I mean, for what are even the VAR's there? It's supposed to be checked so things like that don't happen. It's like the call from the ref in Bayern at the champion league against real Madrid.
Never seen var intervening for things like that, its not official practice. Don't know why you believe it is
True enough. Still, if we saw it clearly, it should have been clear in the stadium, too, and partially, everyone else. Donoruma should have admitted when he noticed it wasn't a corner ball that he touched it. But well... yep... didn't go that way. Anyway, I'm hoping the next match becomes more exciting.
Dude, Germany has Neuer as a goalkeeper who is raising his arm every single time, hoping to get the advantage even though nothing happened. Why are you even talking?
SO CLOSE DAMMIT what is our aversion to playing offense??? also the italians should be actors with their dramatic falls lmaoo
Albania was so bad. What are you talking about? They didn't do anything.
?
Fr they're like cardboard cutouts that can dribble
Blame the referee
I would say GG but it was actually shit
e kan bo mut, sa shum shanca edhe sun i kan dhan. katastrof 🤦♀️
Lujtem si dele. Na duhej me shume sulm dhe saktesi. Edhe italianet lujn dirty pz. Ok e mbajn topin po si skutha
sigurisht kan mujt me lujt ma mir dhe me mbaru lojen 2:2. nuk e di pse paten aq shum frik nga italianet. 50.000 shikus shqiptar dhe apet lujten pa shpirt. turp.
2-1 win for Italy with their reputation for playing the worst style of football the world has ever seen solidly intact. See you all tomorrow for the next installment of highly concentrated but ultimately harmless xenophobia lads
I mean, being entertaining doesn't really reward you does it? Better to be safe than sorry
This coming from English men and supporters is so fun. Like if England hasn't played like shit for most of it's history... the team was unfun even when you had Lampard, Gerard, Rooney and all the other supposed great of your times.. you were boring most of the time even with Beckham! I would accept it coming from Spain or Brazil or Argentina... but from England? It is just a big lol
Bibbidy babaddy boopidiy
Bro last time your amazing style of football made you win something Oliver Cromwell was on the stands
Wtf does that sentence even mean?
I honestly would not know how to make Ok-light's joke simpler to understand. We're Italian and we understand English better than you
The joke has a very simple structure. As you probably know Cromwell is a historic figure that lived in your dear island many many years ago, Wikipedia tells us that he dies in 1658. That's long ago, just like England last victory in an international tournament (in 1966, maybe you can find some black and white picture), it's strange that such an amazing football syle wins so rarely, when our boring football made me go celebrate in the streets 2 times already in my lifetime
Ahh I see, the joke is just so unfunny that I didn't understand it. Gotcha
Read carefully, I'm sure you'll decrypt it
Ahahahah
Ex-winner of the last cup and still rob a corner for albania, they are the lowest “top” euoroean team
You act like it's italy's fault if the corner was not given. Blame the referee
I LOVE THIS
[удалено]
FUCKING LOVE IT
No idea how I'll sleep tonight
[удалено]
Average premier league fan when a football match includes defense and doesn't end 8-9
Why do Albania keep putting on Broja? the guy has no athleticism he really doesn’t care to try and grab the ball. What a waste keeping him on
Italy: as interesting as watching grass grow. No, not that kind.
Eat some pastasciutta
You’re right. The English are so much better in the entertainment department. That Iceland game especially was pure class.
XD XD XD XD XD i mean, it was ICELAND (i-c-e-l-a-n-d), Jonas the local butcher that plays goalie in his spare time is notoriously unbeatable
Italy was better but the refereeing was absolutely shameful. I say this as a neutral person who obviously sympathizes with Italy. But my goodness, Europeans are so corrupt and shameless!
The goalkeeper clearly touched the ball cuz it bounced but no why would they give it to albanians?
[удалено]
Albanian fans and style of play are disgraceful 🙂 It reminds me of that hideous Morocco team at the last World Cup.
Nah, Morocco was awesome
At parking the bus and having the most hideous fans at the tournament? The last part is interchangeable with Saudi 🙂
[удалено]
Yeah, setting central Brussels on fire after their team won against Belgium. Who wouldn’t be happy 🙂
Cry
No need to get personal, its only football
You're not better than them. No reason to spread hate like this
Wtf are you on about?
[удалено]
Eh it’s the hangover. Give it 8 years, they’ll get back on track.
2nd half was a disaster. I don't understand what the hell happened
[удалено]
I don't know what the fuck they did in the break but that clearly didn't work. Albania suddenly woke up and we just went to sleep
We're still not in our better shape and we clearly need to concoct a better style, we need time. A lot of these players didn't play together much, we'll grow. First half shows promise
I'm watching the follow up on the Rai and there seems to be hope at least. Spalletti wasn't happy at all either. He doesn't want them to play to comfortably, he wants aggressivity and I like that. I just hope he can teach that now to the team.
Jorginho’s cramps magically healed the second he heard the whistle
Definitely needs to be some sorta system to avoid teams being robbed of corners. Not sure how they could implement it without completely destroying the flow of the match though
You always have the possibility to score from a corner. It’s frustrating for Albania
Like watching paint dry.
i do hope karma gets the italians sooner or later the thing is they do this every damn tournament can someone just rugby tackle em at this point
Spain hopefully 🙏🙏 Otherwise, I hope it's Germany
you know that italy never lost to germany in an wc/em game? and no, pen count officially as a draw 😂
getting robbed of a corner kick at a time like this is criminal
That ref is so blind. Ain't no way they did not get it.
Italy definitely fighting it out with England for most boring/ possible bottlers of the tournament
Same as it ever was
