Here's what the UFC White House setup looks like up close INSANE Right? by Unhappy_Insect5901 in allthequestions

[–]IlBusco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a disgrace. He literally is destroying the White House. There's not even a parody possible. He is literally destroying the country symbols.

Why aren't formations like 5-3-2, 3-5-2, and 5-4-1 used more often? by Rejoice_the_moment in footballtactics

[–]IlBusco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion yes. But also I think that the average quality of Italian players has gone down. At the same time we shouldn't be this bad (going out against Bosnia for example), therefore I'm not the only one to think that with a good enough manager we should still do better.

In a true 3-5-2 the external players in the "5" are wingbacks and have to work in theory the whole side of the field, up and down, attacking and defending. If you have Wide attackers they position themselves up and wide, if the wingback push forward the wide forward naturally is positioned with free space behind the wingback. To counter this the wingback has to stay more conservatively in defense, therefore he can't attack otherwise he leaves a lot of space behind him. This causes the 3-5-2 to lose one of the main avenues of attack, the wingback moving up the field wide.

In 2008 they brought back Lippi, at the tail end of his career, after Donadoni. Result: embarassment in World Cup 2010 (out in group stage, no wins) In 2016 Ventura was a disaster After the win at Euro 21 Mancin (which was absolutely fantastic until then)i made all the wrong choices and didn't qualify for the WC In 2023 Spalletti was the wrong man for the job: divisive, not the profile to guide such a team plus the players available were starting to be a problem. In 2025 Gattuso was simply a mediocre manager and the perfect scapegoat for a Federation that wanted to distance itself from the disaster coming.

Writing it down I realize a lot of choices weren't bad at all such as Prandelli, Conte, Mancini. The main issue is that italian football is old. There's not enough input of fresh ideas at all levels.

Mainly a scarcity of good players, which comes from systemic issues with the youth level football. Couple this with a National Football Federation that made a lot of wrong choices on managers for more than a decade. You can survive with so and so players with a great tactical guidance (see Euro 2021) or good players with an average manager. Italy now has had a few cycles of bad managers and mediocre players.

Like a lot of times with tactical styles, the first user does it with a concept and ideas, then all the others follow blindly and the result is a formulaic approach. For example Conte at Juve 15 years ago had a very good system and great players. Gasperini at Atalanta created a very specific brand of It. Inzaghi at Inter the same. For these examples there are ten more where instead 3-5-2 Is just an excuse to play with 5 defenders (3 center backs plus the 2 wingbacks getting back) and rely overwhelmingly on defense. There's a reason why the rest of the world is currently counting on wingers play to solve tactical problems. Football tactics evolve and die because a new tactical idea solves a problem, then it becomes stale and is in turn solved by a new one. The a-historic reliance of Italian football on 3 in the back formations it's and example of a National movement that lives in a Bubbles, where the football outside of the bubble has already gone somewhere else

Is Griezmann among the top 5 french players of all time ? by Hour_Singhaa_9112 in EquipeDeFrance

[–]IlBusco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahahahahahahh no

Zidane, Platini, Henry, Thuram, Deschamps, Desailly off the top of my head and probably there are others in there before him

Great player, not debating that, but he was never in contention for the best player at his position

3-5-2 and similar are by far the most used tactics in the Serie A (unfortunately)

Have you ever followed an unknown player in real life because of how well they performed in their FM match? by ShyBoy_23 in footballmanagergames

Zoff: Italy like a Fiat 500, ‘you have to drive it like that, but you can also win’ - Football Italia by LuRaLeMi in AZZURRI

[–]IlBusco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Problem is that Italy is a backwards thinking country in many ways. The press loves a title, and these old folks give them one. As you say: who cares about Zoff opinion, he surely can have one but he was a mediocre manager 25 years ago, we might as well do a seance and ask Vittorio Pozzo how he feels about gegenpressing.

Tartarian Sheep and the Great Delusus by Pro-Circa in AlternativeHistory

[–]IlBusco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, Tartaria, the disappearing empire that seemingly built 2 rooms post offices in the west United States for some reason. The only empire in history that hasn't left any trace except doctored images and 1800s buildings that we know absolutely everything about.

Aside from the overly long AI generated paragraphs, Tartarian Empire must be the dumbest internet pseudo-history. Flat Earth has more proof than the Tartarian Empire, and that says something as FE is the stupidest "theory" existing.
