Talking about gattuso wanting to be Rangers manager last week when his pal materazzi said that's what he craves, well he could be looking for a job pretty soon with italy not qualifying for the world cup tonight ?I honestly think gattuso will now lose his job as italy national manager after that tonight ?Like i said last week i've got a lot of time for gattuso and loved him as a player but has never went on to become a good manager ☹️

About 10% of it is down to Gattuso.
Italian football is in the dregs at every level. Needs totally reformed.

Is that now 3 World Cups without Italy or 2?

Italy have missed a few big tournaments of late, and it's definitely not like them, as they're the second most successful country in World Cup history, having won the World Cup 4 times. ? I always expect Italy to be at a World Cup, and for me it's always strange when they're not there. ? Always had a wee soft spot for Italy since I was a young boy, and of course later on under Walter Smith, we've had some superb Italian players at Rangers. ? Italy as a footballing national has fallen behind as of late and totally needs a revamp.
? I know at the present it's currently not Rino Gattuso's fault totally, but as much as I like Gattuso, he definitely has not proved himself to be a good manager and has come up short so far in his managerial career. ☹️ Can't say the same when he played the beautiful game, as at one stage in his career, he was the best defensive midfielder in Europe and had an engine to die for. ?

Premier League money has absolutely destroyed football. It's more like an event now than for the working man to enjoy. Football is not the same as it once was, sadly players are money driven and players don't seem to particularly care about the team they play for. Football in Italy has really hit a decline, it's a shame.

Big Katic outstanding. ✌️

Katic has been playing well for a good while now, Yately. ? He's improved a lot since he left Rangers, and Richard Gough has often said he wished he was still at Rangers because he always said there was a good centre half in Katic. ? However, I don't think Katic would suit what Danny Rohl wants his Rangers centre halves to be like, mate. ?

The big clubs in Italy seem to have a policy of signing out of favour players from the EPL which is dragging down the level and also stopping development of their own talent. That said, they should still have enough talent to beat Bosnia, though I heard that they celebrated when they got through against N.I and heard who they were playing, so maybe arrogance affected their performance.

Italy had 10 men, so maybe that was part of the reason, but the buck stops with the manager. They still have good enough players to beat Bosnia, but they failed down to the manager.

Sweden never won a group game I read in qualifiers and have made it to World Cup. ?♂️ That's a mental stat if true.

Told yous all on here for the last 2-3 years that Katic is a fantastic player nowadays.
Would have been a great signing for us in that time.
