Stop arguing about the rules: Italy does not need to go to the world cup any more than Digo or Curgo
The national team's stupid number against Norway has at least one merit. It erases the narrative recently promoted by Feder Calcio, from coach Gattuso to desperate president Gravina, and supported by too many disparaging commentators, that we are not going to the World Cup because of the regulations.That it is pointless to be relegated just because of one defeat (now it has become two).That in South America the group is simpler and that there are too many Africans.Excruciating, deplorable, and even vaguely superior.rhetoric when he defends the alleged superiority of European football over other continents, which was once again refuted on the pitch.
In recent weeks, many arguments have been put forward, all wrong, to explain Italy's failure. The rules are the same for everyone.This is the third announcement in a row that we haven't won a valuable team, although some of the three times start from the first pot: It can't always be usual: It can't always be usual: It can't always be usual: It can't always be usual: It can't always be usual: It's not normal.Those who ask for 6 wins in 8 games are aware to remember to remember that it was actually conceived as it is the European way, all other opponents are different Norway is ridiculous.And then Türkiye and Slovakia, the teams of the country that followed the path of the country and most likely to get through the matches, do not seem to be there.
Even more unpleasant is the attack on other federations (in fact, this was not ignored in other countries of the world as well, which is also a bad impression for Italian football). The next 48-team tournament is certainly an unknown, and perhaps an exaggeration, but now football is a global phenomenon and there is no turning back. Think back to the 1990s, as Gattuso did, when Europe won 14 out of 24 places, or more than 50% ofrights, it means regretting the past of vested rights that no longer have any meaning. It is true that there will be many Cinderellas with a lower skill level than ours, but that is the point of the World Cup. Talking about rankings and reserved places is not so different from recreating the long-awaited Super League for national teams. Second, while the numbers show that the South Americans have a competitive advantage in being part of a confederation of only 10 states,we have to look at the overall composition. UEFA still has the most places (16 out of 48) and is, in any case, the second (in fact, after Conmebol) in terms of the percentage of participants among all affiliated federations (29.1%). There is no point in complaining. Especially since our last two appearances in 2010 and 2014 gave us a bad impression against New Zealand and Costa Rica, countries that Gattusohe said they were less qualified than us.
With such a star-studded attack in the second place was no small injustice of bad luck. This year after failing in the other qualifiers for Euro 2024, with Norway being eliminated, this year has blossomed to its full potential. Finished third, even behind Scotland as well as Haaland, Sorloth and Si, this time he beat them all with an average of 5 goals per game, decisively cut us in goal difference, but moresaid that some things in the selection could be improved, not so much the distribution of seats between continents.But in the European format, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin also admits this. In fact, groups of 4-5 teams are very restricted, the risk of being stuck in the iron group or vice versa.In addition, the introduction of a formula for the national teams that have been very successful in the new Champions League, as a single division with 8 matches, all played against different opponents. It may lead to more merit points and at the same time it is unbelievable.
But these are all side reflections.We're not going to the World Cup, at least for a while, not because of bones, but because we lost twice against Norway (not France, or Spain), with a combined 1-7.Since we won in the 90th minute in Moldova, in the 95th minute against Israel, always fighting and tight, while our rivals scored in bursts.Because we have a mediocre squad, two coaches (Spalletti and Gattuso) one worse than the other, a completely inadequate federal management.We deserve a playoff, like Congo and Curaçao (which can qualify directly).This is our measure.Continuing to make excuses is simply not facing the truth.
