Just pay attention how poor was Bonucci's defending when Nestorovski scored the 1st goal for Macedonia. It doesn't look like a move from one of the best defenders in the world, does it?! And when ti comes to our team, Macedonia, this is such a classic display that's been repeating over and over again! We've been losing many other matches when we were much better (the previous one against Israel is the best example), so there's no need to feel depressed why this happened against Italy.
Further more, in a case Macedonia got a draw, or even won, it would've been only a damage for Italy, because we would've lost the next matches, so we would've only taken points from Italy. Points that wouldn't made any difference for Macedonia at the end, unlike Italy, 'cause they needed these points.

he doesn't have the right attitude yet, he's too full of himself he needs to calm it down.

Bonucci apart from his passing, was the flop of the match. He had a very bad game, funny defending for the 1st goal by not tackling, at least stick out a foot, and if he stuck a foot out for the 2nd, goal could have been avoided. Bonucci wouldn't defend like that for Juve.

Yo, tackling is very risky in that situation. It's better that he jockeyed against him. However, the issue that he had was jockeying while his body is in not in a comfortable position, therefore letting the other guy take care of him simple turn

Unbelievable! Firstly because Italy has never been that weak and managed to make a comeback anyways and secondly because Macedonia lost the game when the draw was so close. Sorry for Macedonia, congrats to Italy. And one quick question, if any of Italian supporters know: why the hell Ventura is the coach?

Pinturicchio07 10 years ago

Juventus, Italy 0 40

Because Conte was not supported by the FIGC (they had already announced that Conte would leave at the end of Euro 2016), Lippi is no longer interested in coaching again, Fabio Capello is utter CR@P and is no longer worth hiring except for cr@p teams like #FozzaInda and the best coach in the world right now, Carlo Ancelotti, is no longer interested in coaching anyone who won't pay him 10-12m €€€ per year....

Oh, yea, Ventura agreed to a salary of 1.2m € per year.... See the difference ??

story of our life but its all good Macedonia were never going to qualify in this group. Italy and Spain are just too good. Macedonia has a bright future though our u21's are so close to qualifying for the u21 Euro Championship :) It will write history as it will be the first time ever a Macedonian football team has qualified for a major Championship

That was such a pathetic display !!

Ventura really needs to get his head out of his own @$$, because he seems to be going through withdrawal - he is not coaching a small club like Torino, he's managing the nation which is a 4 time FIFA World Cup Champion !!

Verratti was at fault for both goals !! When is he going to mature ?? For every great pass or assist he provides, he puts the defence under pressure or creates hassles for the team.

Simply not acceptable, Gli Azzurri must improve in the next matches !!

The last 20 minutes is how we should always play. Ventura figure it out and fast. Benassi must be integrated like Romagnoli.
