[Official] Italy are OUT of EURO 2024. Switzerland defeat them 2-0. Barella, Bastoni, Frattesi, Darmian and Dimarco are going home. Yann Sommer advances and will face England/Slovakia.

Worse Italy team I’ve seen in a long time. They did not play football today. The players were just walking. Hopefully Spalletti gets sacked after this

I actually thought that Spalletti is a decent manager. This was abysmal. Just winning against Albania and losing almost every other game. While he had a good core of Inter players and some talent with Calafiori and Buongiorno. A good keeper as well. The Swiss players aren’t a lot better but played significantly better in this match. Someone should be held accountable for this and I think its Spalletti and Buffon (for the lack of passion during this game).

Barella was awful today, yes this Italy team was confused however I expect someone of his caliber to do much more in such occasions, I’m sorry to say but continuity is becoming a problem for him be it with Inter or Italy. He has brilliant patches during the season followed by equally as long or even longer patches where he is flat out average

Spaletti’s peak in this game was singing the anthem, then the beginning of the free fall.

Low-key I think Inzaghi should coach the national team. He’s good. A lot of people give him a hard time when he messes up, but he’s the reason he brought Inter to the Finals in the UCL last year and the scudetto this year

Our Demone did it again!
Everybody gets home early for the preseason 😎

That was arguably the worst display I’ve seen from a team in a very long time. I’ve never been one to blame the manager but there’s no hiding it, Spalleti is the problem. How can you be this clueless as a manager. This void of ideas. It’s shocking

Spalletti needs to be gone. What a joke.

Coaching a national team is a completely different sport than coaching a club, you barely work with the players, you have very little time, and Spalletti wasn’t ready for that. He is a great coach but trying to change Italy’s style in a year was very ambitious, and as he said himself he is just unable to go with the flow and not try to teach his ideas. This being said, Italy’s player are hot garbage.

Its not spalleti’s fault yhat other than donaruma no player would had make it in that euro 2020 team, even barella wasnt the same barella. Clearly even that euro 2020 team worked because of the pressure italy had of having terrible tournaments since euro 2012, not making it to wc 2018. The moment they won euro ’20 thry failed to qualify for qatar 22.

This is one of the worst Italian teams I have ever seen. For me, the biggest deficiency was the strikers – Scamacca and Retegui are not good enough.
3 goals in 4 games – only scoring in 50% of games is not enough. Even with a good defence, the midfield was only adequate.
Spalletti did not get the tactics right in a single game.
The teams that have impressed me are Spain, Austria and Switzerland. Why? Because they have been bold and have pressed high up the pitch and had a solid game plan. They have taken the game to their opposition.
What did Italy do? Sit back and hope the opposition couldn’t take their chances.
It’s OK to lose sometimes, but you must make the opposition work hard for the victory at the very least.
