Italy fails to make it to the World Cup in Russia. I don't even know what to say.

We need a coach who will play the young kids. Verratti, Rugani, Caldara, Bernardeschi, Belotti, Gagliardini, Conti, Donnarumma, Insigne, Jorginho, Shaarawy, Spinazzola. The talent is there. We just need a coach who will play them all. And this 3-5-2 defensive formation must end. We need to play a more exciting brand of football. We have good young wingers so a 4-3-3 is what is needed.

Exactly Harvey. These kids are some of the highest rated young talents in Europe. But I think we also need to look at changing how these kids are developed in Serie A, which has traditionally been an old man's league. These kids need to become the focus of the national team and Serie A in general needs to play a more aggressive and creative game. Hopefully doesn't take too long.

I am excited for the future, but sad to see the old era go. Even though some of the old guard won a WC, I feel like they left another one on the table. Mind you can say that about the Maldini, Baggio era as well. I saw a tweet today that put things in perspective for me. 4 years from now guys like Insigne, Bernardeschi, Jorginho, Belotti, El Shaarawy, Caldara, Rugani, Perin ect. will all be in their prime (late 20's-31). With 4 years under Ancelotti playing his style, I feel like we could and will compete for that world cup. But it needs to start now. Get these guys experience and bring younger players like Lorenzo Pellegrini and Ricardo Orsolini and Federico Chiesa into the team so that they can get experience at the top level. It will pay off.
