Defending champions out
“Swept away” by the Swiss: “Disaster for Italy”
"Arrivederci" was the motto on Saturday for the Italian national team, who were knocked out of the European Championship in the round of 16 without a sound. "Swept away! Disaster for Italy", wrote the newspaper "Tuttosport" in its online edition.
The well-deserved elimination against Switzerland (0:2) was "another failure" and the "time for the usual excuses" was now over, scolded the "Gazzetta dello Sport". "Italy is losing face, dropping out of the tournament in the worst possible way by being dominated by Switzerland."
Italy "without legs and without soul"
The "Corriere dello Sport" denounces "Italy's failure". The defending champions played "without legs and without soul" and were kicked out of the tournament by an "average team".
"The Azzurri have returned to Berlin, the scene of their 2006 World Cup triumph, but this time they are leaving the Olympic Stadium with a bad defeat and a lot of disappointment," wrote the "Corriere della Sera".
