Gattuso will keep calling up Bastoni because hey, if you're a FIGC Azzurri legend, you ain't gonna care about a little cheating, are ya.

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/why-bastoni-not-face-italy-173000244.html

In some ways I hope Shitaly do make the World Cup. I'm envisioning some ways we can make Bastoni's life a living hell here with all the ICE nonsense going on. And I know some people who would do it. Just need to know where Shitaly's home base is at.

What the fuck happened to Italian defenders?

Bastoni is overrated and also a fucking clown. Alessandro Buongiorno has been a disaster since his move to Napoli. Mancini is crap. Calafiori is always injured and cannot be relied upon. Di Marco had his pants pulled down and got done like a cheap whore in the first 20 minutes in the UCL final, and showed just how much of a liability he is. Di Lorenzo is crap.

dime a dozen

btw on their day bastoni and dimarco can be very good, and a healthy calafiori is even great. but they aren't anywhere near the level of chiellini or barza on their day - and they were a level or two below nesta, maldini, baresi or scirea themselves. it's a steady decline. iirc someone (baggio maybe? or cannavaro? not sure) made a comment about it and blamed the lack of playtime for the italian youngsters and too many foreigners. it's not a bad point, but when you consider that clubs need results, you kind of understand the coaches too who prefer to play whoever is better at the moment. then again, who wouldn't take mbamgula over openda, soulé over zhegrova or huijsen over gatti. neither of them are italian lol but the point stands, there are youngsters who deserve the chance
