Problem with Italy is that younger generation has no real interest in the sport. It has hurt both their player development, and the gates at the league. 15-25 year olds just aren't as invested in the sport as previous generations were.
Whether that is a cultural thing or just because of all the scandals and corruption the sport just doesn't seem to resonate with the younger generation anymore.

I don't follow them very closely, but going into the match-up with Spurs they hadn't conceded a goal in something like 17 games at home? I can't remember the stats because I've blocked that to enjoy life more, but it was something insane like that. I think that they were/are super solid on the back end and just got beat by a better team.
