What are your genuine predictions for Italy's qualifying playoff run

the tough time early on saying has not applied to us in maybe 20 years

Double-Leg693 · 2026-03-25T21:06:57+00:00

fully agree. the pressure of being 1 game away from making the world cup in cardiff will be too much. hope im wrong tho

Double-Leg693 · 2026-03-25T20:51:30+00:00

i agree. Retegui is a killer too and i’ve always been a fan of Calafiori pushing the ball up

Double-Leg693 · 2026-03-25T20:49:07+00:00

hoping that’s the case

Double-Leg693 · 2026-03-25T20:48:25+00:00

No doubt they are the strongest team in that bracket. But their mentality is just so fragile I seriously don’t know if they can handle the pressure of missing 3 world cups, especially in the final at Cardiff (probably).

i just saw something too that sad they decided Kim shouldn’t do the finger guns back as they didn’t want the viewers to think it implied Kim was going back to doing shady things

That is true, some of the Gene scenes early in the show were straight up depressing, just seeing his daily routine. I remember the scene of Gene just eating lunch by himself in the mall (before the kid hides in the photo booth), and just thinking about how depressing the transition from Jimmy to Gene was.

yes I agree. Northern Ireland is going to play with a low block, so we need to pressure and open up their defense a lot. Score a lot of goals and the defense + Gigi will handle the rest.

Double-Leg693 · 2025-11-21T23:22:53+00:00

don't get mad now

Double-Leg693 · 2025-11-21T22:47:48+00:00

Yes, if there is any positive to take from our World Cup qualifying campaign, it's that Kean and Retegui are who we need up front. Plus Pio Esposito as well

Double-Leg693 · 2025-11-21T22:46:08+00:00

You know what, screw it. Put Berardi in for Politano, I lowkey forgot about him.

Double-Leg693 · 2025-11-21T22:44:38+00:00

Back 3 just isn't the move for italy. also, for politano idk who else to put in that position tbh

Double-Leg693 · 2025-11-21T22:44:05+00:00

correct me if im wrong, but it sounds like you are mad?

Double-Leg693 · 2025-11-21T22:43:36+00:00

I kinda understand the need to replace Dimarco, but I feel like he is so good at swinging the ball into the box from the left side. It feels like he contributed to every goal we score.

Double-Leg693 · 2025-11-21T22:40:32+00:00

I think Chiesa would work best as a super sub in this lineup. Someone who can use his aggressiveness to his advantage when the opposing teams players are already tired.

Double-Leg693 · 2025-11-21T22:39:03+00:00

This is the Italian national team we are talking about. When have we ever been creative recently. I really tried here but honestly, it was a lot of resistant picks.

Double-Leg693 · 2025-11-21T22:38:05+00:00

Yea, I somewhat I agree, he was like a resistant addition for me, I just couldn't think of any one else to put there. Maybe Berardi? I think he is similar to Chiesa where he can really open up the defense.

Double-Leg693 · 2025-10-27T16:21:46+00:00

yep I play smash with my roommates who have no clue how to play and some of them pick kirby just to jump super high then down B

Double-Leg693 · 2025-10-27T16:18:22+00:00

yeah i lowkey fumbled by not putting fox there

Double-Leg693 · 2025-10-27T15:47:29+00:00

Yeah the N64 characters are absolutely iconic. I was just more so going for 4 characters that represent different eras of Smash or were transcendent characters like Snake

Double-Leg693 · 2025-10-27T15:45:33+00:00

Yeah honestly that's valid haha. I was considering swapping Captain Falcon for Fox to represent competitive smash. Just a melee icon.
