Ítalir og stuðningsmenn landsliðsins eru skiljanlega öskureiðir og beinist sú reiði aðallega að Gian Piero Ventura, landsliðsþjálfaranum.
Það er helst kvartað yfir því að Lorenzo Insigne hafi ekki komið við sögu í leiknum. Þá hefur þökkum rignt yfir Gianluigi Buffon sem spilaði sinn síðasta landsleik í kvöld.
Þá hefur ítalska knattspyrnusambandið verið gagnrýnt fyrir að ráða Ventura í þetta starf, enda hefur hann ekki unnið neitt á þjálfaraferlinum frá því að hann stýrði Lecce til sigurs í ítölsku C-deildinni árið 1996.

You don’t deserve to leave Italian National team this way.
Legend. 🇮🇹❤️ pic.twitter.com/IUSHkCClMI
No Italy. No Chile. No Netherlands. No USA. Maybe it’s time to consider a 48 team World Cup....oh wait a minute.

This is a f**king joke. The player we need MOST is being left on the bench in our MOST important match.

Unforgivable. UNFORGIVABLE.
Lorenzo Insigne
Insigne 90 minutes on the bench.

Never seen something like this.
Crazy.
How did Italy, a country blessed with more good coaches right now than England has produced in 25 years, end up with Ventura in charge?

No surprise whatsoever. Ventura has absolutely no spine. What a coward. https://t.co/N60FW1nwIL

Ventura said yesterday that Italy were destined for the playoffs when he saw Spain were in their group. That's all you need to know about his mindset.

If nothing else, Italy showing what a great job Conte did with them at Euro 2016. They were *arguably* the most impressive team until Germany beat them on pens in QF

Sweden's favourite pizza is topped with kebab meat and yoghurt sauce, so this is only the 2nd most brutal embarrassment they've dealt Italy. pic.twitter.com/KPBrTf1PLY
