what a horrendous feeling. I never thought I would see my nation miss out on qualifying for a World Cup. This feeling will linger for days, months to come! I hope this wakes up the federation and they make the changes they need.
I wish the legend Gigi all the best, and thank him for everything he's done for Italy and soccer! The end of an era.
I've been part of this forum for many years, and I feel like I had to make this thread.
Congrats to Sweden for pulling off the upset and qualifying.

paletta, hope you dont mind my stopping in here. havent been around as long as you have but wear the azzuri blue with pride like you.
echo your sentiments on Gigi, what hes done on the field pales in comparison to off the field. a true ambassador of the sport if there ever was one. and people think his legend started with the WC title in 2006; it really started the following season. he took his lumps and stayed as we got sent to Serie B, won promotion, and the rest is history.
your words show me that though ur a supporter, you arent an Ultra. so I feel it's "OK" to say this to ya, and I believe you do understand me............. we needed this.
rebuild???? wrong choice of words. "cleaning house" is whats gonna happen. trust me, as you know, theres gonna be a lot of finger-pointing and "i-told-you-so's" the next few weeks...... but not all of it is gonna be directed at Ventura. and im not defending the guy. h*ll no.

Specimen I agree with you 100%, although I still wanted them too qualify, I knew this time had to come in order to bring us back to the top. Cleaning house is a great way of putting it, from top to bottom, start fresh. It will be interesting too see how this shakes out, but this will be a crucial time in Italy, and for the future of our beloved game.
