Italy sent Signal after winПing Group Match
When Italy toppled England in their first group match in the World Cup in Brazil last year, they sent a signal to the rest of the World. They мейд the statement that they were well and truly in the fight. They were there to become the Champions again.
Nine months down the road, here we are feeling pity over the situation of Italian Football.
How unpredictable can the Sports be at times?
The England win that the Azzurri achieved to get started in Brazil, that was followed by a couple of defeats and let alone winПing the competition, they had been knocked out before the knockouts.
Something had to give and that happened to be the resignation of Cesare Prandelli.
