Rome, Nov 14 (EFE), (Camera: Jorge Ortiz).- Italian press and fans were hurt and angry after their country’s defeat against Sweden, which put the “azzurri” out of the soccer World Cup for the first time in 60 years.
SHOT LIST: FOOTAGE OF ITALIAN NEWSPAPERS’ FRONT PAGES AND SOUNDBITES OF FANS.
1- “I think it’s fair. It’s a shameful team with a coach that shouldn’t be blamed too much. I think it’s fair.”
2- “Ventura rhymes with “sventura” (bad luck). The blame lies on him and whoever put him there. Also, it’s not the greatest generation of players.”
3- “The team tried but you could see they lacked the cohesion they had a few years back. We are the only team out of the eight who have won the World Cup that hasn’t qualified. I’m very disappointed at having to watch the World Cup as a spectator rather than as a fan.”
