    Ventura has a lot to answer for, turned a limited but effective team from the last Euros under Conte into a toothless shambles.

    He’s got to go surely? I don’t know an awful lot about the guy but the failure to qualify is surely enough on its own to merit his resignation?

    You'd expect so, there was talk of him getting punted even if they made it past Sweden. For a country that produces so many good managers they won't lack for options.

    Italy don't play at the same intensity under Ventura as they did with Conte, Conte had Eder, Pelle and Giaccherini looking like world beaters ffs.

    No great shock there considering it’s a current world class manager being compared to an old guy that’s a serial, mediocre, loser.

    Italians on twitter saying in that clip of De Rossi going mental on the bench he's been asked to warmup and says "Why the * should I go on? We don't need to draw here, we need to win!" and pointing towards Insigne saying put him on.

    * wish some Scotland players had balls and telt Strachan to get a grip and use McGregor in Slovenia.

    Ventura denies resigning. Buffon, Barzagli and De Rossi all confirm their international retirements.

    Iker Casillas posted this about Buffon last night


    I do not like anything to see you like that! I want to see you as before, as what you continue to be for many: a LEGEND. Proud to meet you and proud of having faced you many times. You still have to delight us in friend football!

    A World Cup without Italy. That's going to be really weird, and not in a good way.
