I only worry about the Gunners in RedAndWhiteDon't think anyone's claimed we're world beaters. Certainly not me. We can only play what's in front of us, and a lot of the West Asian teams are awkward to play in their conditions with all the travel our players do. I think several of our younger players have more quality than all our post 2006 side tho.
Idk why you're sticking your neck out for Italy of all teams thoThey were a football powerhouse decades ago. Missing 3 world cups in a row now, they're just not that good. Speak to any Italian, they'll say it. Sort of like Australia's decline in Rugby.
And especially considering the Socceroos history with them. They've been riddled by corruption and mismanagement since 2006. Calciopoli happened at that time. And they fluked that Euro 2021 win, as much as I enjoyed seeing the Poms get beat in the final.

Farking Yakubu then Lukaku always got in behind and scored.
