It's really a country where the old folks are stuck in their ways and thoughts, most of these people had never seen a black person during most of their lives. Those spaces make for great echo chambers for racism and passing down those thoughts into their children. Argentina is pretty similar, actually.
While italy is more diverse nowadays, it still struggles with the ways of old, not only racism but also xenophobia (which is actually a big issue in Europe but I digress). It's gotten better and will continue to do so as these people and their ways die off. As a country their diversity is not comparable to say England or France.
Oblak's 100th clean sheet for Atletico Madrid came in just his 178th appearance for them.
That's some achievement !
AM really have a good eye for a keeper, every time they sell one.. the next one is just as good / better.
They seem to do this at every position. Incredibly well run scouting department. This Torres -> Aguero -> Falcao -> Costa -> Griezzy -> Felix run is insane.
For every falcao and felix theres a jackson martinez, mandzukic, gameiro, vietto, correa, costa (v2), cerci, gaitan, vitolo etc
They throw **** at the wall until it eventually sticks, not some super top level scouts.
Every club misses on transfers but they’ve had bigger hits than misses. They’ve had at least one world class forward in their team since 2006, says it all really.

Löw is. His nominations are all about sympathy not about performance.
Didn’t he bin Boateng, Hummels and Müller?
(He’s probably not gonna play but feed the hype)
Nice to see the game start
Shows that we are heading in the right direction at least.
FC Porto is a gold mine at selling players.
