Did you know Adidas were pushing for Mourinho to coach Italy, but Buffon convinced Gravina to appoint Gattuso? The result: no direct qualification and Italy stuck in the playoff mess.

Blaming Bastoni for one moment while ignoring Gravina’s decisions, including giving Buffon with little experience the responsibility to choose the coach, is honestly laughable.

And let’s not forget the presence of Bonucci.

What’s even more ridiculous is that Gattuso and Bonucci had the youngest player, Pio Esposito, take the first penalty under pressure while more experienced players were available. Their decision-making is just unbelievable.
