    Remember, one of the reason for the fall of the Roman Empire was an over-reliance on an army of merceneries.

    PS, my mom is from Catanzaro and dad from San Nicola (both Calabrese)

    That was a complete dismemberment for platini. You didn't leave anything intact.

    Its hilarious being told by a fan of the french national team, that Italy is poaching players, when they themselves started the whole trend.

    You see guys, not only is our little platini imposter a fake and a confirmed racist, he's also very confused.

    When I watched the World Cup Final I wore my Lazio colors to commemorate the Argentinian albiceleste.

    With every goal that Messi scored, we responded with emotions of joy and happiness.

    Even though Fifa tried to get France back into the game with shockingly bad penalty calls, the Argentinian Grinta was too strong to let it shake them.

    Like the steel cold resolve of our Italian players in the 2006 shoot out, Argentinians borrowed from their ancestral roots and put France to sleep once again.

    Bravo Argentina!!!

    The last part was the only thing platini was genuine about.

    He's still crying. He's upset that Italy got Retegui. He wanted Argentina to have him instead.

    By his definition Haaland who was born in England to Norwegian parents should only play for England.

    Platini is a troll. It's embarrassing for him because he's getting tied into logical knots.

    * You're French if your dad was Thuram but you were born in Italy.

    * You're French if you were born in France but raised in Argentina.

    * You're French if you were born outside of France but speak French and spent time in France on the youth teams.

    Seems to me his logic is that you are French when it is CONVENIENT to be French! The problem with this logic is that it has no bounds.

    How long do you need to have spent in France to be truly French? 4 yrs? 10yrs? Less? More?

    So, Retegui is half Sicilian, spent summers in Sardegna with his dad, but he's disqualified because his Italian language skills are not up to par or because he didn't play for our youth teams? Or, did he need more summers in Italy growing up?

    This logic is a joke. No wonder he's twisted like a pretzel.

    It felt like things were going down this road with Mancini. I doubt he coaches another game for the Azzurri. He seems ready to jump ship….which is okay. He did a great job winning the Euro. It’s not easy getting victories in the big competitions. He got us our sixth. We should all be eternally grateful, but is time to move on.

    If it's true that PSG want Mancini, I will drive Mancini to Paris myself. But I find it difficult to believe that they already want to get rid of Galtier.

    According to Pistocchi, Conte is taking a year off. If it's true that Mancini wants out, the FIGC need to know now so they can make moves to get Ancelotti

    Mancini definitely does not want to leave his position with Italy, but if he did at least he finally got us a striker. Conte just quit on his team with 10 games left in the season, I don't think I want a coach like that and I hear he doesn't want to coach a national team again. I'd offer Gasperini a position.

    I also think Conte wants to come back....

    Sembrerebbe che Mancini vorrebbe smettere!! E si vocifera che Antonio Conte vorrebbe tornare!!! Staremo a vedere [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    You are all dreaming if you think I'm going anywhere. It's just a slow day for the journalists who love nothing more than taking you guys for a ride.

    Agreements are already in place for Carlo to take over after the Euro.
