I'm a huge Verratti fan. He was literally born the town over from where my Dad grew up - a small village called Lettomanopello. My dad met him at the local bar when he was 18 years old playing for Zemen's Pescara Calcio.
The fact that he'll be 33 or older the next time Italy plays in the WC actually breaks my heart.
Nice story.. thanks for sharing..
Regarding Veratti.. if he is not as overrated as I think, he should be still playing high level soccer when he is 33.
Look at players like Pirlo, Gatuso and such.
I know they did not play the exact same position as Veratti but they played high level soccer deep into their careers.
Do you support ideas for a more frequent WC, maybe every 2-3years?
@@keystone6162 no because the players can't handle that many games. Verratti in particular has been injured a ton throughout his career.
People think because players like Ronaldo have logged so many games that it's possible for most players but Ronaldo is an outlier. Most players don't have the legs for a full club season let alone an additional summer tournament.
@U Betcha oh ok cool. I understand your point. You prefer club, over country. I disagree though, I love both. If they can balance the calendars and the amount of games.
I think MLS is paused during WC?🤔
@@askwhy3676 high level in a farmers league!
Until few months back, Italy were on a undefeated streak of 37 games. They were one of the favorites to go very far in the world cup. They have players like Donnarumma, Jorginho, Varratti, Immobile, and others. But they lost to North Macedonia. They conceeded the goal that could have been easily blocked or saved, and out of world cup. Football is crazy game.
That streak was so impressive man. The quality of teams they beat were of the highest order.
Argentinas streak already looks to overcome Italys success with Argentina having beaten more attractive opponents then say the likes of Lithuania and Luxembourg multiple times. Can't wait to see Italy on their next kill list
@Mahendra - And as Gab rightly said, in UEFA's very generous qualifying campaign structure, Italy had many opportunities to get through. They f**** up big time!
@@4thGenna. the Italy hater is back… and obviously being sarcastic..
I am as shocked as anyone after watching the game but there were clear signs of imminent disaster..
Since winning the Euros last year, Italy only beat Lithuania..
Injuries, bad form of star players and some questionable decisions of the coach leave us with this soccer disaster..
@@askwhy3676 I was never aware the definition of a hater is someone that speaks about what he saw.

@@prashanthmanohargowda5357 that’s such a myth..
Hahah n good luck with that in which Morata will play
@@vismong102 care to explain?
Chiesa's absence really showed imo, he is the fast and creative spark in an otherwise more slow and passive traditional type Azzurri team, to have that much possession and that many shots and no goal is absolutely worrying
agree, Italy lost a killer
Not enough of an excuse. I knew every single member of the Italian team including the bench. Never heard of any of the North Macedonian players and I'm sure that every single Italian player makes more money than the opposition
Chiesa is a class act
Facts
A perceptive analysis, but I'd like to hear, in greater detail, about what the "systemic problem" you elude to was precisely.
"Completely failing to execute Mancini's game plan" for 4, post-Euro 2020, World Cup qualifying matches, suggests a pattern, does it not? "Systemic problem" is a rather ambiguous phrase. Do you mean "tactical inflexibility"?
He says "Totti" and "Del Peiro," and my eyes begin to tear!
Verrati was outstanding yesterday
I felt bad for him
@Jeepman89 see the game and then comment.
@Jeepman89 ur brain malfunctions u need to go to doctor
@Jeepman89 Between the 2 teams, Verratti had:
Most passes (total and accurate), like 20 more than next best
Most key passes, twice as many as anybody else
Most successful dribbles, 1 less than the rest of his team, 2 more than Macedonia's entire team
Most succesful tackles
Best player on the pitch period
When Italy wins, Gabotti: "We won!"
When Italy loses, Gabotti: "They lost! They embarrassed me!"
Prove it.
That's most football fans too a Tee!
The fact he says the embarrassed him ; what does that tell you ?
Gab was still shooting bullets yesterday. 😂😂😂
It's fun to see Gab so angry and visibly so in his last show . Cheers you up to see him like that. Especially the repartee with Frank
It cheers you up to see someone angry? You need therapy.
I think he means it is fun to see Gab having a sense of humor…many pundits would not be smiling AT ALL after a defeat of such magnitude.
@@user-qx5nk6qg2b chill joaquin phoenix, he’s talking about passion
repartee?
Both the Italian national team and the Italian league (Seria A) have sunk to new all time lows. No Italian team in champion's league quarter finals, only 1 Italian team in Europa league quarter finals, no Italian national team in the world cup
not really, remember they are Euro champion....I think the virus is complacency after Euro winning also Chiesa absence affect their attack so much
Since Balotelli they have not had a world class scorer. And many people don't even consider Balotelli world class. But I don't think he would have missed ALL those chances yesterday. I think Chiesa will be vital going forward, but he needs to stay healthy.
Roma is still in the Conference League, but their performances there's isn't exactly dominant.
Italians aren’t upset about being eliminated from World Cup 2022, Italians are upset and embarrassed about being eliminated from World Cup 2022 after losing to Macedonia and not at least losing to Portugal in the playoffs final.
To be in the play off is already embarassing enough.
32 shots. Zero goals. Italy need to find a striker.
Greece won Euro Cup 2004 and failed to qualify for World Cup 2006.
Yeah but Greece was an average team and so it wasn’t as much of a shock. Italy on the other hand…
Denmark, Greece and now Italy are the 3 teams to win the Euros and then NOT qualify for the following WC
@@askwhy3676
You can't compare Italy with those teams which didn't go to World Cup. Italy is always among the favorite teams to win World Cup not to imagine failing twice not to go to World Cup.
@@tomodul2619 not comparing dude.. stating the facts.. 3 teams ever won the euros and failed to qualify to next WC.. I wish Italy was not in that list but unfortunately now it is

@Vini Jr_best - Ouch! That burns! LOL! Maybe Italy should throw in a couple of Argentinians as well. When they won the World Cup in 2006, they had Mauro Camoranesi, after all!
Based on performance, Italy might be better with less Brazilians.
What a shock! Could not believe it!
Gab as Marshmello 🤣🤣
Haven't qualified for 2 world cups and out of the group stages in the 2 world cups before that.
Italy haven't played a single knock out game since winning the competition in 2006.
That's because Zidane is a Templar knight, and on that night of July 2006, when leaving the field, at the very moment he was standing next to the cup, he put a curse on the Italian national team for the next World Cups, that no Italians will ever enjoy again winning a World Cup after what Materazzi did. Only the chosen one will break it.
Gab should come like this
Jorginho should never ever take another penalty kick for Italy as long as he's in the squad. I blame him singlehandedly for this disaster. Italy would never ever be in this position if it werent for those missed pen. Both games agaist the swiss that ahole just bottled it. Come on man. Many might say that's not fair but that's the reality
If your team need penalties to win the match then there is a problem
He should never take another penalty kick in training again, let alone for Italy!
At least he screws up his penalties for Italy and not for Chelsea 😂
Gabs podcast hair and ESPN FC hair is different color…😂😂
Italy's Euro Cup victory was very deceiving. Don't get me wrong, they're one of my favorite international sides and I love Italian football having grown up watching the 90s and 2000s golden era of Serie A. But their Euro Cup win was deemed as some magnificent attacking play performance and win. Which is far from reality. They managed 3 goals against Turkey and Switzerland and everyone lost their minds. 3 goals is the most Italy ever scored at a Euro Cup game. In ALL the editions. And that was their first time doing so. Pathetic. Sweden and many other teams of even lower level literally did the same and nobody hailed them as offensive juggernauts.
What happened after those 2 opening matches against Turkey and Switzerland? Italy struggled and grinded their way towards eventual victory. After their 2nd group match it was all about defense and stifling the opponents all the way down to the final. They managed 1 goal against Wales in a 1-0 victory. Then a 2-1 victory against Austria where they needed extra time. A 2-1 victory against Belgium where the game was pretty even. Then a 1-1 draw vs Spain in the semis where they were outplayed and needed penalties. And another 1-1 draw with England in the final where they also needed penalties. 3 out of their 4 knockout stage games they needed extra time or penalties and managed only 1 goal during regulation time. In conclusion; they rode lots of luck and they weren't this great offensive side they were touted as.
Had france not screwed themselves with infighting, i dont think any team could've beaten them, that team has too much quality.
@@vatsalsingh1555 Had Italy not screwed themselves with not scoring from 32 shots, I don't think NM could've beaten them, that team has too much quality
Works both ways. It happened so it did no ifs
Couldn't have said it better.
@@vatsalsingh1555 don't take credit from Switzerland, last night Switzerland was clearly better side than England in friendly despite loosing. In 2018 all semifinalist were European teams. Specially nations league and removal of fifa confederation cup has caused less matches between European and other teams and that has caused the gap
Thank you for stating the reality. It really perplexes me how many people have failed to analyse their performance in that tournament. Not many convincing wins. To win a semi final and final on penalties is some luck. Not surprised they have not qualified, they are extremely overrated.
well, another option italy had was baloteli but his history also cost him. 12 goals 6 assists. top scorers in turkey. i felt at minimum we needed everything we could get and yet again they didn't give balotelli a chance. another problem we have in italy. we look down on many countries as if only the top three teams can only perform well or nothing else. well, we're out again! we don't have the talent we once have.
There are some teams where it doesn't feel right if they're not in the competition, Italy is one, Portugal is another and even if Italy had won one of them would have been out later. Credit to North Macedonia, they really put themselves about.
It's so nice to see italy out again ☺🤣🤣
Guys, you're not giving enough credit to Macedonia... Remember, something similar happened with Germany. Not that they're so good, but it's still not a coincidence.
For Italy sake I hope the likes of raspadori and scamacca come good because they current forward options are so mediocre and that goes probably for every Italian striker since the late 00s. Centre backs as well now chiellini has retired and bonucci will probably do so as well in the coming years bastoni is the only player who looks half way decent, romagnoli hasn’t achieved his promise and Mancini seems to be better suited in the midfield position.
Now you know why no top club went for Immobile.
Pep Guardiola always said. “The past is the past, what games we won before, the great performance, doesn’t guarantee you success in the next game. It will be a mistake to think far (Italy: oh which group will be drawn with before even qualifying)”
That's why guardiola rotates player. Mancini is carrying the same team for too many years. Zaniolo, Tonali, should have played
Brazil rotates players, Argentina also rotates players, France rotates so these teams are strong but Germany spain Italy doesn't rotate much.
If you don't take your chances, it will come back to bite you. Italy had a 65-35% possession advantage, Italy 32 shots and 5 on goal to N. Macedonia 4 shots and 2 on goal and you lose the game at home Italy, smh
How on earth does Gab says; “Italian football are doing many good things lately, they’re going in the right direction”
Since 2006, Italy was knockout in the group stages in 2010, 2014 and then miss the last 2 WC!
At club levels, the Italian clubs are failing and failing every season after season in the champions league and Europa League, with embarrassing performances
Yes, they won the Euros, but that has been an exception to a really long streak of miseries, Italian Football clearly needs to change something ASAP, a lot has to change, so please Gab, be a bit more objective
They recently set a record for longest unbeaten streak...
@@BDAShadow1 lol....
the keyword is lately. Since Mancini was appointed Italy have changed their style went on an amazing run and now just fell off slightly. That doesn't mean they are trash.
Lol, and then they failed to qualify to the next WC, not being able to win any match against Switzerland, and then losing against Macedonia…. You clearly missed the point. That’s why I included the “oh, they won the Euros” comment
Grece won the Euro in 2004… and then what happened to them?
Fell off slightly?? Slightly it’s if they had a bad WC, like maybe not making it to the quarterfinals in the WC or something like that, but here; They just missed not qualifying to the WC! 🤣 two WC in a row, and losing against Macedonia
Sorry, that’s not just a bad day at the office
The same experts who said after the draw that Italy would meet Portugal and then thrash them…
Italy should build there team around Chiesa and veratti,thete both class acts
More on Canada!
YES!!! First World Cup qualification since 1986! Well done boys!

Enough with Italy, they're out ciao how about giving credit and more acknowlowdgement adn respect to North Macedonia
Scopia not North Macedonia
Its shame that Italy would not be part of WC2022. But if you are losing for two consecutive world cups, its time to soul search and take hard decisions.
There seem to be multiple causes. So few Italian talents break through. The league has become relatively poor. They need to have a good look at how Portugal develops talents despite not having a great league either.
They said jorginho should win Ballon dor lol how smelly
Can we show some respect to North Macedonia, they came to Italy and shut up shop then hit them on the counter. Yes, Italy were profligate but it’s still 11 v 11 with the same ball, rules etc.
Let's face it Italy won the euro's because of Southgate. 1 up after 5 mins and then sits back. Any other manager would of gone for the throat.
Southgate's style of play makes watching paint dry on your living room wall an exhilarating experience.
I'd personally like to thank Italy for doing what was necessary and beating England last summer to prevent us all from having to listen to their fans for the next 50 years talk about how great it was to win the Euros, just like they talk about 66
And then doing the honorable thing and choking and not qualifying for the world cup. Thanks Italy!
Portugal: Well they made it Easier for us
Portugal has so many players you want to tune in for. Italy barely have 2. Chiesa and Verratti.
Real Portuguese fans know that Portugal need to respect Macedonia. Italy has been a shambles since the Euro. Macedonia being a dark horse makes the tie more intriguing
@@michaeldorego7313 Portugal learned from the Turkey game. They were one spot kick away from extra time.
@@michaeldorego7313
Agreed, they shouldn't underestimate them that's probably what Italy did, they'll be going after Portugal without fear with the confidence they got from beating Italy if even barely.
@@D1Chxxn A team with nothing to lose is dangerous. Italy had so much pressure on them. Current euro Champs and the idea of missing out on another world cup made them crack under pressure. The same thing happened with Portugal in the 2004 final. Greece was just happy to be there
Fundamentally you say........
Lack of individual talent Gab.....
This is a team sport 11 v 11.....
That lack of what you call individual talent is why Italy has become better and just won the Euros bro........
They did not lose due to lack of 1 v 1 skill.....
They did not qualify simply due to true fundamentals .....
Missing PKs and not passing the ball into an open net......
Let’s get the word fundamental correct.....
Ronaldo by his standards has been poor, although, he was Portugal's top goalscorer with 6, he was second to Mitrovic with 8 who plays for Fulham, who can't evendo it in the premier league, Kane and Depay Depay, couldn't cut it at Man Utd, 12, he has scored 12 goals in 24 games in the premier league, 4 against Spurs in both matches and 2 against Newcastle at home and another 2 against Arsenal at home,
2/3 of his goals from 1/6 of his games in which he scored more than once against the opponent either home and away, home or away, and does scoring against Norwich really count, the team at the bottom of the premier league with most goals conceded and most game loss, he scores a hat trick against and not against norwich,
16 games he hasn't scored in the premier league
2/3 of his games with no goals
How many matches without goals in Uber eats league for pessi
@@pragunahuja6879 As North Macedonia faces Portugal, North Macedonia qualifying is more than likely.
Messi is playing poor, I was thinking of the Portugal vs North Macedonia game, Ronaldo and Jota are the only ones, who score for them.
@@jameshumphreys9715 Portugal now and then may look to have a mistake in them, as they did against Serbia/Turkey but not giving them the advantage is a bit harsh.
Otavio did well for them yesterday. Even Ronaldo played quite well in the 1st half. I suppose his legs gave away later though, started to slowly fade. But you never know with him.
Also at the end of the day every player in the prem has faced the same teams as Ronaldo. If only Salah can score more than a poorly playing 37 year old in the entire league, I would take it. And ofc he plays for Man U which makes it tougher.

Poor by Italia not to qualify, but Gab if yoyre going to say the european qualifiers are easy and you get so many 2nd chances. What about conmebol qualifiers theres impossible for Argentine or Brazil not to qualify, remember Argentine won 40% of their games and still qualified 10 out 18 games where they didnt win, now that is the most 2nd chances in this sport.

@@GauravYadav-bf7qj You wish. Europe has been crushing the World Cup for the last 20 years. They've won the last 4 World Cups and only one South American team has reached the final in that time.
