Yeah, that's unacceptable really. Still enough time to get back of course but it must be the worst start of a qualifier tourney in like forever. We used to roll trough them not losing a single point.

I think the current structure of the qualifiers is somehow taking its toll on high-profile teams. See Spain and Germany too, teams used to just breezing through without dropping a single points, now losing against the likes of Slovakia and Poland. I guess they're just finding it difficult, perhaps unconsciously to care enough in these early games knowing they'll have to fuck up incredibly bad to not make it through.

Yeah, though as a professional footballer you can't make excuses like that of course.

Oh well, I'm not sweating yet. But it's worrying.

Happy Birthday to Di Natale. 37 years old and still beasting it in Serie OAP. 124 goals in his last 178 games. He would have 200 goals if he played in la liga

This could end up being like 2002 all over again. What nightmare. The only people who are going to be happy in this country are the tour the France people and shitty hockey groups.

Nah, I don't think that any of the big footballing nations or England won't qualify. I mean, that would require you to be in third place or lower and be worse than a few other third-placed nations.

Not that I wouldn't find it pretty funny, but I just can't see it. Just as our 0-2 against Poland won't mean shit besides destroying our nice qualifier records.

2002 was the lowest of lows. But in the current qualification structure it will be pretty hard to not qualify.

Wooooow. Begovic had played really well in the bits I've seen of this. What an error. I wonder if that was Nainggolan's first Belgian goal? Ahh, 2nd apparently.

It's really close between this team and the 2010 squad for the title of worst IItaly national team ever. Can't wait for the U21 prospects to fully blossom, Belotti, Berardi, Bernardeschi, Sturaro, Rugani etc all look seriously promising, hopefully at least a couple of them actually live up to expectations for once (Balotelli and Elsha, I'm looking at the two of you)
