Italy, the home of Europe’s most outrageously passionate fans at club level, has a fervent following at the World Cup. Success is expected and every tournament is a mix of blood, sweat and tears. At Euro 2016, those tears were the rest of the world laughing at Simone Zaza’s penalty. But that was the warning. Italy pushed Germany all the way in their quarter-final and played sparkling football along the way. It was a pleasant change from Brazil 2014 when having outplayed England, the Azzurri failed to find the net against Costa Rica and Uruguay. Home from the group stage was an embarrassment and change was needed. It came; 3 – 4 – 3 became the vogue thanks to Italy and unbeaten against Spain, Germany and Netherlands is the warning signs the rest of the world must heed: Russia 2018 will see a revitalised Italy. Following the Azzurri is an never-to-be forgotten experience. The fans bleed blue through their veins while the match is under way and none are prouder of their country.
