Not to mention that in head-to-head encounters in the past year, England's C team beat you guys; you also received quite the spanking from Germany about a month ago.
Nigeria, for example, is ahead of Italy according to FIFA. And they're not even in the WC! What a farce.
Italy lost to South Korea in 2002, and if I remember correctly drew with the Cameroons in 1982 in Spain.
Aye, we performed poorly in 02 with a moronic coach who has luckily been replaced. I won't delve into the refereeing of that match, however (except to point out that the ref was soon afterwords involved in a bribery scandal).
We won the WC in 82, so we could've drawn with Jamaica for all it mattered. If you had won it all the loss to Iran wouldn't have mattered. But you didn't, haven't, and won't, this year anyway ;)
Well we did better than Italy in 2002. At least we got to the quarters. Italy didn't.
True, and you may very well beat us this year in our head-to-head match-up. On paper our squad outclasses yours by quite a bit, but matches aren't played on paper, so we'll see, and hopefully have an enjoyable match.
