    hahaha before the competition Italy was not considered amongst favourites for lack of stars, after winning not having a star helped them to win, accordingly to these prepared punduits.
    As italian supporter I could only dream what could we do with an italian Harry Kane as center forwarder.

    Are you kidding me Rio!?!?! Such a dumb remark and very disrespectful to Italy. This man needs to shut up and stop putting his foot in his mouth. My days, Italy learned their lesson from the last tournament that they missed out and where humbled by it. Italy's squad is full of talented superstar players but none of them wanted to be put on a pedestal but rather come together as a team as you can see how they play on the pitch. England on the other hand, I suppose Rio would probably say it's over packed with super stars is a friggin joke. Here is one thing I will leave to Rio the B grade sporting clothing seller for SportsDirect. Did you see how the Italians manage the penalty shoot out? Not one player feared to take one. They all believe in each other. I've already heard your excuses for England, which is very pity and poor. Italy won with passion and as a team.

    All I can say is bring on the World Cup. I am so excited about this team we've gone through a lot of years of pain(10-15) in Italy which, is crazy for us to be bad for so many years. But we're back and better than ever.

    Italy always do better when they are in bellow expectation position. At last it shown in WC82, WC06 and Euro20.

    The top player of Italy is one: the group. Mancini did a great job to get out of the shame not to have been in Russia. He was able to assembly a great, united and motivated team.

  16. @davideunknown8930

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    The thing helped more Italy was to not celebrate before playing and winning. You never really won until you really won. I hope the lesson was learned.

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    You see why the British crowd is the way they are….. Their arrogant experts and press overhype their own players all the way undermining others!!!! Rio most probably thinks players in EPL are all superstars…

    I have a stupid question …… Who is the England Superstars? Maybe and i said maybe Only Kane but Dear Ferdinand just compare our Defense our Middle field did you really think england defence or middle field is better or superstars than italian one? Amazing

    We have a real superstar:Mr.Mancini.

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    u dont get it , rio. italy never put an individual above the team. look at bearzot in 82 or lippi in 06. when they had to make their decision, the ones they were sure about , they did. the media was hammering bearzot for taking paolo rossi to the WC, they said he was finished. in 06, after the calciopoli scandal, nobody believed in the team, except the team itself. lippi had to make a decision, and played totti, and left del piero on the bench as a super sub. thats balls.

  24. @enzodiadema5650

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    Donnarumma, best goalkeeper in the world at only 22 years old

    Chiellini Bonucci, best defensive couple in the world

    Spinazzola, one of the best sinister thinners in the world

    Chiesa, there are no words to describe his talent

    Verratti, Barella, Jorginho, champion midfield

    Insigne, pure talent

    What planet does Ferdinad live on?
    He later also said, before the Italy Spain semi-final, that England didn't care who won between the two, because they were stronger than both.

    Then came Denmark, which is neither Spain nor Italy and, if it weren't for a penalty given for a Sterling dip, they wouldn't even get there in the final.
    Moral of the story: it's not better to be silent, than to say things that then remains in your throat?

  25. @peterktori9116

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    THEY DONT OVERHYPE. THE ITALIAN PLAYERS. AND PUT THEM ABOVE OTHER. NATIONS. THEY ARE A. CLASS OF PLAYERS. THAT ARE TREATED. AS EQUALS.

  26. @way2go723

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    What a load of 💩 Ferdinand speaks! Who’s a superstar in the England team?? Kane?? Not one shot on goal in the final.

    Verrati? Bonuci?? Chiellini?? I can go on and on….these are a team of superstars. Not individuals

  27. @luima5198

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    The problem of English people is that they're profoundly ignorant and close minded. The racism is a consequence.

  28. @luima5198

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    The thing is England NEVER HAD A SUPERSTAR in their history. The only one maybe is Beckham and even Beckham he's more famous for his hair than his feet 😂😂😂😂

  29. @luima5198

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    Neither England has superstars, and this didn't help them too.

    Didn’t Rio say that England could easily beat either Italy or Spain. What happened??? Lol you’re sadly deluded, not as good as you think you are when the ref isn’t conned by Sterling or Kane!

  32. @tottifan6979

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    Ferdinand is right but for the wrong reasons. Mancini didn't have to compete with any prima donnas and could take control of the group. He wouldn't have had to worry about his instructions being questioned and players not cooperating. The flow on effect is players get along with each other better, there is less jealousy because "why should I follow instructions when so and so doesn't" isn't happening etc.

  33. @avejaly8065

    Condencending. Italy is spicked with stars.

  44. @elenapagliaretta3914

    January 21, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    Against any Italian Serie A defense your supposed big star Harry Kane wouldn’t catch the ball even praying on his knees over the chickpeas for a century.

    You can't win when you have names like Marcus Trashford or Bukayo Suckars. That's a guaranty when you have trash and sucker in your team. Oh! and Hooligans.
