Italy Missed 3 World Cups. Their Kids Are Being Made Abroad.

Italy have missed three World Cups in a row: 2018, 2022, 2026. Italians now play just 28.4% of Serie A minutes, the lowest in 12 seasons. So who's going to fix Italian football? I went through every single Serie A lineup since 2015 (4,231 games, every substitution) to see whether the "Italian renaissance" is actually real. Spoiler: Italians are now playing their lowest share of Serie A minutes in 12 seasons, and the kids carrying Mancini's team are being made in England, Germany and Portugal. Meet the family: the Don, the Consigliere, the made men and the soldiers. And while Italy were plotting, Greece rolled something towards the gates… Who's in your Italy XI? And do Greece finally qualify for something? Let me know in the comments 👇 CHAPTERS 0:00 Three World Cups.
