I have watched Italian football for over 25 years and my comments are not ignorant. Italy are a football power and most of the top international sides hate playing against them because of there defensive style of play. If the Italian national team had the heart and courage to play an offensive game they would have been more successful. The World Cup in 1990; the World Cup final in 1994; Euro 2000 when losing to France in the final. Italy should have won all these finals but there style of play permitted this.

My comments are not ignorant they are just how I think football should be played.
