That is the lowest total of any major footballing power and has stood for nearly 50 years. From a country that has produced Rossi, Baggi, Del Piero, Vieri et all that blows my mind… Wow.

    Totally surprising, also just Googled Immobile and he has only scored 17 goals for Italy. I mean they haven’t been at their best lately (except for 2021), but hasn’t Immobile been their starting striker for almost a decade now? The guy has had many club seasons with 20+ league goals.

      Immobile didn’t start for Italy until qualifying for '18 WC our strikers for Euro 16 were Graziano Pele and Eder.
