    This is a very interesting U20 team. They play well together and have spirit. I like that. It's not a team stacked with stars, but there are a lot of good players who know their roles.

    Pinamonti is getting better all the time. He doesn't possess elite skill but he can finish. Scammacca has a ton of physical ability and some skill, but he doesn't finish. Still, he works his tail off and helps the team...much like an Iaquinta did for us.

    I think the midfield is underrated. Pellegrini is a real spark plug with nice feet. So is Esposito. Frattesi is tireless and shows a lot of skill for a workhorse type midfielder. He could be very useful in the future.

    Tripaldelli is very impressive to me. He's so fast and has a great cross. Gets back on D too. I can't believe he's not playing in Serie A. He's much better than a lot of bidoni left backs I see in our top flight.

    Del Porto has really nice feet back on defense and Gabbia and Ranieri are solid. Bellanova is strong getting forward but has questionable defensive skills at times.

    Plizzari has been amazing. That kid deserves a Serie A spot.

    Overall, this team could win it all and there are a few players that could really make something of themselves. When you take this team along with the stacked U21s...there is some real hope for our future.

    You are aware that the senior team has turned over quite a bit since Ventura? They're no longer seniors like you and @Falc :p

    Disallowed for the softest foul you will ever see.

    This is not football!

    This is rich coming from an italian, but went Ukraine to ground every single 50/50 and more often than not, got the call. Poor match. Scammaca with a brilliant goal wrongly ruled out

    The Brasilian ref was terrible all day. The game is being ruined by referees reacting to players falling instead of looking if there was an actual foul.

    Terrible decision ruling out a capolavoro from Scamacca. What to say, Ukraine found a goal against the run of play and shortened the game with fouls.

    Nice run, but would be nice to win one of these youth tournaments. How many semis and finals have the Azzurrini lost in the past 5 years.

    Not to mention, at least 2 mins wasted for the VAR and they couldn't even give Italy a chance to take the corner about 4:30 into stoppage time.
