technolan feloman exactly! They barely had an impact in their past 2 world cups where they bombed out the 1st rd. There's quite a few teams in the world with lesser resources and players to chose from that are playing much better than they are. Look at Belgium or Croatia for example!
The Federation pcked Ventura as CT because his wage was just 1/3rd of what Antonio Conte was earning when beating Spain 1 year ago with the same players.
Andrée Åkerblom since everyone else is busy kissing Italy's ass for not making it, I'll be one to congratulate Sweden for making the world cup. You guys worked hard and were able to knock both Netherlands and italy out, congrats again.
Max Christensen Sweden did exactly what they were supposed to do at San Siro. They parked the bus, shut down the italians and got the result they needed. They weren't there to play pretty football. Italy had the ball possession and pressure most of the game but rarely created any real scoring chances. If they can't score at home in such an important game, then they deserve to lose.
They knew beforehand how the game would be, with the italians having the pressure since they were the team that needed to score. Also, Italy is overall a better team talent wise, so no need to try and be fancy against such a team. I'm happy as a swede that they qualified, but at the same time it kinda sucks to not have Italy included in the World Cup. But they only have themselves to blame. I guess Ventura isn't a very popular man in Italy these days.
salcazoid iran??? They might had am unstoppable defense to tje afc teams but at the wolrd cup... Expect no more than 3 points if they are lucky. The real underdogs r panama.
Thanks for the blast from the past Sid. "Big Bag Of Bargains Bargains Bargains Bargains Bargains Big Bag Of Bargains," all around the bag; it was hilariously embarrassing to carry on the TTC eh. I eventually made sure to always bring an Eaton's bag in order to hide its cheapness. :D
As an Italian soccer follower I think Immobile is overrated. Call guys up like Zaza, Balo, or Giovinco. They need players to come and shake this team up. We need a manager who calls players up if they've earned it, calling up the same players just because your afraid of change is not working for Italy. They need a manager like Allegri, Ancelotti, or even Di Francesco. Allegri's contract expires at the end of this season. FIGC, get on that.
The Italians have been on a steep downward slope in the game for a very long time and have mostly relied on the skill of their goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon. The rest of the time they have mostly relied on playing boring defense and taking games into penalty kicks. They got what they deserved in being eliminated and this is an excellent result for the world of international soccer/football. Like the Germans successfully did, the Italians will need to re-develop their national teams at the grassroots level with a complete ideological change that would include implementing a merit-based system of player selection and also towards playing a more offensive style game to compete against other nations more effectively. However, the cronyism and dysfunctional politics that is rampant within the Italian national footballing system will need to be dismantled first
Yea you clearly have no knowledge of the Italian style. It is a HORRIBLE result for world football because the 2nd greatest nation in footballing history will not be at the world cup. That is like Canada not being at the olympics for hockey
@Alessandro Saluri For many many several years, there hasn't been anything to understand about Italian soccer other than their usual boring defence and Buffon. The Italian national men's team is a disgrace and so is the entire soccer establishment in Italy.
@Max Christensen There is nothing about the Italian style that is deserving of being showcased in the 2018 World Cup. There are better footballing nations right now so it is nothing like Canada not being at the Olympics for hockey. The Italian national team needs to start over from zero and it will take several years of re-building if they want to do it correctly.
Mr Cee He's done. Sweden is better off without him. It's funny how teams he's left get better the following year look at inter and Barcelona the year after he left. He's a malcontent too although he can score
At least France doesn't need to play against the god like defense of Italy in the finals with their young strike force. But the players Ventura played were a joke, and the fact he didn't even look at Balotelli is beyond me. Sure, he was injured for a bit but man, he is still a great player and would've been by far the better choice over GABBIADINI. Freaking GABBIADINI. Are you SERIOUS?
It's odd that Sweden seem to play better without Ibra. I guess when the Swedes don't have that one big ego that you should rely on, they play better as a team. But it is still a joke that Sweden went in to the World Cup finals ahead of Italy.
Us Greeks didn’t make it, that’s normal but we were still sad but when Italy failed to make it, us Greeks are even sadder today. We love Italy and World Cup without Italy, it’s not even worth watching it.
K.G. Utter nonsense. You likely do not speak for most Greeks as most Greeks couldn't care less about Italy being eliminated. Also, if you think the World Cup is not worth watching without Italy in it, you probably know nothing about the game or how it should be played.
Konos P they got so lucky in that game that even if they won ... they would of had a 0% chance in the next because of all the red and yellows collected by the players that night. Look at balotelli yesterday what a finisher and in my opinion is way better then immobile
Belotti is one of the best young Italian players , he scored 26 goals last season. Immobile scored 23 last season and has 11 goals in 14 this year. The system is the problem , not the players
1. Insigne isn't Napoli's best player, Mertens,Hamsik,Koulibaly,Callejon all more valuable 2. I agree that he shouldn't have played the 3 back in tonight's game but it's better than the 4-2-4 he was playing before 3. Verratti is the best Italian he's a top 5 midfielder in world football
Brandon Giannascoli kroos, Modric, Kante, De Bruyne, David Silva, casemiro, isco maybe even iniesta are all currently better than Verratti. Don't get me wrong he's really good, but not top 5 yet.
Mr Cee Think about it. Lots of Canadians are in the US playing hockey there. Why do you think American teams are more successful than Canadian teams in recent years?
Tony K please do yourself a favour and stop trying to think you know soccer. To say that Italy has been playing defensive soccer is a bunch of BS. Do they have a lot of work ahead of themselves? Yes. Did you watch the Euros only 2 years ago? That was not defensive soccer. Far from it. The manager Conte had them playing a quick, fast paced brand of soccer that was fun to watch. They were creative and beat the likes of Belgium and Spain. The reason Italy lost was the incompetence of the manager Ventura and his archaic way of thinking. He was clueless and had no respect from the players. Plain and simple.
This guy doesn't know anything about football. Sure insigne should've been playing, but he's acting like the world ended, Sweden deserved the win they have been playing very well. And for Italy you can't 100% blame the players, they have a good squad with poor management. They haven't been good for a while anyway. "4 time world Cup Nation" their history has nothing to do with their failure. They have plenty of goalscorers Ciro Immobile, Andrea Bellotti, Lorenzo Insigne, El Shaawary, Manolo Gabbiadini.
Sweden did absolutely nothing in either tie. They got a lucky bounce, a few calls went their way and that was the difference. 4 shots to 24? 70% possession to 30? Common
Max Christensen meanwhile Portugal has been the most consistent team the last 20 years next to Germany. Considering Portugal has a Population 10 million and Germany has 80 million...I would say Portugal is far more impressive. You clearly know nothing.
Max Christensen For a population of their size, the level of consistency and talent coming out of portugal at club and national levels has actually been remarkable. Never understood the hate directed at them. As a half English man I applaud what they have been able to do.
Max Christensen If 2 finals(winners in one), 3 Semi final, and 2 quarter final appearances in Euro and world cup in the last 21 years is overrated than I don't know what overrated means anymore. Again considering they are country of 10 million makes it all the more impressive.
No USA, no Italy, no Holland no Chile no Cameroon or Ivory Coast and possible no Ireland. I'm sure Fox is thrilled they paid so much for the broadcasting rights! Panama will be there though.
Italian soccer has failed itself. No integrity and a disgusting history of cheating and fixing matches, and it isn't isolated to the 06 scandal, it at least goes back to the 50s but even before that is very likely. Also Panama and Italy are in different confederations so it makes you sound stupid when you act like Panama and Italy had the same qualification standards and route to the world cup. I don't know how so many people were surprised they missed the world cup. They didn't even make it past the group stage in 2010 or 2014. Paraguay, Slovakia and New Zealand all finished above them in the 2010 group stage, they got a pathetic 2 points from that group. They finished behind Costa Rica and Uruguay in the 2014 and won 3 points in the group stage. It's not 2006 anymore.
Tim looks like ur average student trying not to laugh in class when Sid the teacher goes on a rant
I love the rants. 👍❤️. That was awesome! He's so right.
4 years later nothing changed and now miss another World Cup
Nope
Italy national football team is look like Dallas Cowboys of the NFL.
Who wants to see his reaction after 4 years, Italy team repeating the same type of game onece again!
I hope Sid's feeling better after 34 matches without a defeat and of course the Euro championship win...FORZA AZZURRI!!
FACTS!! 😍🇮🇹🏆
Yet you haven't qualified lmaoooo
@@zeno7903 not yet but we eventually will
@@mannygracioppo7868 I would hope so. You have got a great team
@@zeno7903 DAM RIGHT!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
0:44 As a man of Italian descent, I was really hoping Sid would have said "some guy who's not good enough-ucci"
Oh and they needed Mario Balotelli.
That T-shirt Guy he's finished and probably doesn't give a rats ass about soccer anymore
@M C The media has done a good job on him.
Just had to come here to realize Italy failed to make it to the world cup again...
Same here, I still can’t believe it. The European Champions are out!
"Where's Baggio's less talented brother Dave?"
LMAO!
Dave is nickname. Real name is Davide
I can watch this all day!!!
1:59 my inspiration for this year
sid is so funny
And now he is gone
Can’t wait to see a new version of this rant !
IF U GUYS WATCH FOOTBALL, ITALY HAS BEEN REGRESSING FOR LAST YEARS,
technolan feloman exactly! They barely had an impact in their past 2 world cups where they bombed out the 1st rd.
There's quite a few teams in the world with lesser resources and players to chose from that are playing much better than they are. Look at Belgium or Croatia for example!
You mean like they beated Belgium ans Spain, and lost at penalties against germany 1 years ago at Euro 2016?
Gabriele Riva yeaaa that team, again anyone who watch italy national team u can tell there was massive regression.
Italy are a decent squad.
I agree but when a 4 time world cup nations doesnt even make the tournament its an embarassment in my opinion.
The guy who put the water in the bottles should be fired..... 🤣 I love Sid!
Greatest rant wver
4 years later. At Wembley - Italy Champions of Europe! LOL
Again, I thought it would be once, BUT AGAIN, fresh of a Euro title too?
Sid's rant vs Taylor Twellman's rant. Which rant was better
I love Sid
The Federation pcked Ventura as CT because his wage was just 1/3rd of what Antonio Conte was earning when beating Spain 1 year ago with the same players.
Because he put Lorenzo Insigne on the bench for 90 minutes
Bargain Harolds, best colour comment ever. Luv it!
As a swede I'm ofc over the moon right now yet seeing Buffon in tears is rough. Got so much respect for that man.
Andrée Åkerblom since everyone else is busy kissing Italy's ass for not making it, I'll be one to congratulate Sweden for making the world cup. You guys worked hard and were able to knock both Netherlands and italy out, congrats again.
If you close your eyes you would think it's Al Pacino ranting.
Well they got rid of Gian Pier Ventura alright. That’s Gli Azzurri needed Roberto Mancini.
All the people saying Tim and Sid don't know football have obviously never watched the show before.
In about 1% of the world it is,for the rest of us its Football.
I love to see underdogs.... football is played on the pitch, not in the history books
Italy lost on a deflection goal. They had 3 shots the entire tie. Italy had 24. Sweden didnt deserve it, Italy just didnt capitalize
I guess underdogs will make world football fan surprise. Iran, Iceland could be one of them.
Max Christensen Sweden did exactly what they were supposed to do at San Siro. They parked the bus, shut down the italians and got the result they needed. They weren't there to play pretty football. Italy had the ball possession and pressure most of the game but rarely created any real scoring chances. If they can't score at home in such an important game, then they deserve to lose.

salcazoid iran??? They might had am unstoppable defense to tje afc teams but at the wolrd cup... Expect no more than 3 points if they are lucky. The real underdogs r panama.
THE GUY WHO PUT THE BOTTLE SHOULD BE FIRED LOL
Thanks for the blast from the past Sid.
"Big Bag Of Bargains Bargains Bargains Bargains Bargains Big Bag Of Bargains,"
all around the bag; it was hilariously embarrassing to carry on the TTC eh.
I eventually made sure to always bring an Eaton's bag in order to hide its cheapness. :D
I never heard of Dave Baggio before.
Tell us how you really feel sid
As an Italian soccer follower I think Immobile is overrated. Call guys up like Zaza, Balo, or Giovinco. They need players to come and shake this team up. We need a manager who calls players up if they've earned it, calling up the same players just because your afraid of change is not working for Italy. They need a manager like Allegri, Ancelotti, or even Di Francesco. Allegri's contract expires at the end of this season. FIGC, get on that.
Looks like whatever they did worked.
The Italians have been on a steep downward slope in the game for a very long time and have mostly relied on the skill of their goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon.
The rest of the time they have mostly relied on playing boring defense and taking games into penalty kicks.
They got what they deserved in being eliminated and this is an excellent result for the world of international soccer/football.
Like the Germans successfully did, the Italians will need to re-develop their national teams at the grassroots level with a complete ideological change that would include implementing a merit-based system of player selection and also towards playing a more offensive style game to compete against other nations more effectively.
However, the cronyism and dysfunctional politics that is rampant within the Italian national footballing system will need to be dismantled first
Yea you clearly have no knowledge of the Italian style. It is a HORRIBLE result for world football because the 2nd greatest nation in footballing history will not be at the world cup. That is like Canada not being at the olympics for hockey
The reason why this is shocking is that Italy have a lot of talented players and talented youth
@Alessandro Saluri For many many several years, there hasn't been anything to understand about Italian soccer other than their usual boring defence and Buffon. The Italian national men's team is a disgrace and so is the entire soccer establishment in Italy.
@Max Christensen There is nothing about the Italian style that is deserving of being showcased in the 2018 World Cup.

The Italian national team needs to start over from zero and it will take several years of re-building if they want to do it correctly.
@Matteo Pepe No they do not. If they do, they sure aren't showcasing these young talented players.
Here for another rant!
Heja sverige
I'll miss both Italy and America in the WC :(
Insigne saw this and found out where Sid lived and signed there.
Some teams never get better and some get worse
I lost it when he said jessy the body Ventura
I would have loved to see what the reaction would have been if Portugal didn't qualify.
Novaura Autism I guarantee that the sole focus would have been on Ronaldo and possibly not anyone else
Damn right fratello!!!
Sid doesn't know sports well enough, he has to bark, so he is doing that. He is entertaining but surely not an expert.
R Torontonion he seems to know enough so it’s good
An elementary kid could be a better "expert" than Ventura
In 2017 happened strange things Since transformers the Last knight fails and michael bay was retired.
Bring back Sid!
I like sid
Ok which rant was wild him or Taylor ?
0:46 😂😂😂 Sid
*insert Mario voice here*
Ya-hoo!
Italy would have been better with jesse ventura as coach
He sounds like Paul Heyman lol
Here because italy choked again
Italy is out of the World Cup Again 2022
remember that england didnt qualify for euros 2008. now thats pathetic
Hey, leave the waterboy alone Sid.
No USA and Italy.....
They needed giovinco and Insigne
The Italian club has been missing an offensive talent like Balotelli since the 2010 Euro Cup
Did you mean 2012 euro cup
If I was the Swedish coach I'd bring Ibra, even if he's a bench player.
Mr Cee kinda hard bringing a guy that retired
hockeyandsoccer4ever Ibra said he'd consider coming out of international retirement if Sweden made the world cup. Look it up bud.
Mr Cee He's done. Sweden is better off without him.
It's funny how teams he's left get better the following year look at inter and Barcelona the year after he left. He's a malcontent too although he can score
FuShengAlex yes "he can score" and that's what Sweden needs most. He doesn't need to start but having him as an impact sub would be good.
FuShengAlex I don't know: he left PSG and they fell off the rails for a year and had to spend about a half billion Euro to become #1 again...
At least France doesn't need to play against the god like defense of Italy in the finals with their young strike force. But the players Ventura played were a joke, and the fact he didn't even look at Balotelli is beyond me. Sure, he was injured for a bit but man, he is still a great player and would've been by far the better choice over GABBIADINI. Freaking GABBIADINI. Are you SERIOUS?

what's he so fired up about, wasn't he Portuguese during the Euros.
Who reads his rant from a telepointer?
Failure Ventura , so right .
I know how Italy feels. Australia has been struggling to find a legitimate striker to support Tim Cahill for years.
i am from pakistan and i watch football just for italy and without azzuri world cup whould be very boring
🇮🇹 🏆🏆🏆🏆 🇮🇹
Who watching this after Italy lost the qualifying game against North Macedonia?
Yup
Canadian Taylor Twellman
0:31-0:35-0:38-0:40-0:44-0:47
Seba would've scores 5 goals
He took it well then, hopefully they do better for the 2022 world cup, oh wait... 🤣😂
they disrespected giovinco and pirlo bad ...they think mls is easy ..one of the players from, sweden is from seattle sounders
Pirlo is far from good enough now. Man can't even run anymore. Giovinco should've been called up.
Dont put Insigne's absence as a excuse. He is not a Neymar Messi or Ronaldo.
deep down, neither of these guys even care about soccer..
Belotti is one of the best young Italian players , he scored 26 goals last season. Immobile scored 23 last season and has 11 goals in 14 this year. The system is the problem , not the players
That's what I thought too. Belotti and Immobile are the best Italian strikers at the moment, so of course Italy is going to go with them, no question.
The World Cup will be better without Italy. Thank you.
Peace & Love.
That T-shirt Guy you definitely don't watch soccer and know soccer
That's correct. I watch football and know football.
He was right
Fear?
fire the guy who put water in their bottles lmao
Who's here in 2022 😂
Did Canada make it?

MasterlordSWE where the hell is Mexiko. I know where Mexico is but never heard of this Mexiko nation you speak of.
MasterlordSWE just playing with you my dude
MasterlordSWE :)
The guy who put the water in the bottles should be fired 😂 i miss these guys
1. Insigne isn't Napoli's best player, Mertens,Hamsik,Koulibaly,Callejon all more valuable
2. I agree that he shouldn't have played the 3 back in tonight's game but it's better than the 4-2-4 he was playing before
3. Verratti is the best Italian he's a top 5 midfielder in world football
Brandon Giannascoli verratti isn't top 5 lmao
Mr Cee Modric Kroos Casemiro Thiago Verratti maybe Kante
Brandon Giannascoli kroos, Modric, Kante, De Bruyne, David Silva, casemiro, isco maybe even iniesta are all currently better than Verratti. Don't get me wrong he's really good, but not top 5 yet.
Mr Cee Iniesta and David Silva are not better than Verratti forgot about De Bruyne and Isco so let's say Verratti is #8 or #7
Brandon Giannascoli that's fair to say
well this world cup is gonna suck
well Italy didn't get past the group stage in 2014 and Brazil was an amazing world cup
Lol not really
Mario Biscotti I'm English and I agree to have a World cup with no Italy will suck.
Highest scoring world cup, Costa Rica making an improbable run, Brazil getting their asses beat in. A lot more memorable than 2010.
Mario Biscotti such a shock
Well they didn't even beat germany in a penalty shootout, I mean how bad can a italian national side be?
But at the time Sid was right on the money!
Mario Balotelli should have been selected. He woulf have scored the goals.
Argentina vs Brasil... That's going to be Russia's 2018 worldcup final... I could swear it! Fifa=Mafia!
Camilo Master Argentina are not gonna make the finals. Are you crazy lmao?
It's going to be Germany all the way..
Belgium vs France
It’s going give Germany vs France
No it's going to be saudia Arabia v Mexico
How is going to watch this after they lost to Macedonia
Weird, they didn't bat an eye when USA lost to Trinidad and Tobago. Although, I don't think it's better if Canada lost against them.
YAOmighty - Gaming and More who cares about about the US
Mr Cee Americans.
YAOmighty - Gaming and More yah and these guys are Canadian, so why would they care about the US

"i'm a soccer fan" nexted video.
I dont follow soccer but I watched the last one. Doesnt Italy have the best goalie in the like ever?
Fyrside yeah...but in soccer, you can have just one goal to win..
