The team selection has gone horribly wrong. Why don't they look outside Italy? They have much better players there. Sebastian Giovinco anyone ? No. Maybe not. But only 5 of the players Mancini has selected should get into an Italian national side based on current form, talent and experience based on their Euro 2016 side. See below for full list ...

Donnarumma, Ogbonna, Bonucci, Raggi, De Sciglio, Zappacosta, Parolo, Montolivo, Bonaventura, Éder, Pellè

Sub
Matteo Darmian, Cristiano Piccini, Salvatore Bocchetti, Giorgio Chiellini, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Franco Vázquez, Nicola Sansone, Daniel Caligiuri, Federico Bernardeschi, Patrick Cutrone

So it means the Azzuri is not dead. They just need to swallow some of their pride and go to China.

a clear penalty the ref dont give to Portugal , this games needs Var because the goal line referee sucks and never do nothing there -_- Portugal dominate all the game and Italy dont have not one chance to score , they are so lucky Portugal not scored 2 or 3 goals and the Ref is so bad :/

Only Balotelli can score but he's not in shape, and others are just bench players, Donnarruma, Chiesa are the only bright players here. Bonucci, Chieleini are getting old.

Italy are a dead nation in terms of football now. No wonder why didn't they qualify for WC. Their squad quality is dreadful. It was also awful in WC14. They always relied on parking the bus but they even don't have these quality defenders anymore.

This Italy team look the worst team Italy ever had.... name me TOP CLASS italian player wich play outside italy, expect Verrati...ohh wait when he last time played for italy , Jorginho ? ohh wait acttauly he is brazilian, Simone Zaza !? pfff lol , the worst ever player to represent Italy , Italy is dead, before they were wining by good tactic and class of player like Pirlo,Candreva, Marchisio , Buffon , Balotelli... not even speaking about defence , a rock solid defence . Now look at this players.... and look at Portugal , full of talents , Italy full of bench players like Bernardaschi ..... Mancini was good a long time ago , now he is poor , he did nothing with Inter , did nothing Zenit ....

Italy does have a few good youngsters and should try to build more around them even if the results can be less satisfying. Best way to do so is to add a few veterans. It's good that they let players like Chiesa, Donnarumma etc play as much as possible to improve and mature. And the fans should be patient with the youngsters, they need support to get a goid self confidence and develope in the right direction.

ogbonna is the best italian player. portugal's side are also full of brazilian and african born players. so there's nothing new about it. diego costa is born in brazil playing for spain. what about england's eric dier who is portuguese and russia have mario fernandes. so the list goes on and on and on.

Even though Italy had a lot of great players on the bench, I think Portugal's youngsters showed that they can win and play amazing without Ronaldo. We should and could have scored more, but a win against Italy is still good.

9 changes vs match against Poland! But way way too many misfits are being given the opportunity to play...horrific! Criscito, palmieri, lazzarri, cristante, gagliardini, pellegrini, berardi, bernardeschi, balotelli, zaza! Giving them caps is just ridiculous

Don't get tricked by the scoreline. We were totally outclassed for 80 minutes. Only Donnarumma saved us from another humiliation.

Verratti*. Actually*. Jorginho represents Italy and gives his all! Saying where he was born as to somehow denigrate his nationality when representing Italy is racism! I've said it before and I'll say it again....football is not a sport for you! You're wasting your time commenting on things you know f all about.
