Player of the tournament for Italy should be Zaccagno IMO, though he played lousy against Japan. Mandragora looks like he has some passing skills but can't shoot if his life depended on it. He should be made an honorary member of the Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight!!!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067124/
Italy knocks out pre tournament favorite France with a pretty solid display. Zaccagno was excellent when called upon again today. They face Zambia, who eliminated Germany, next.
Nice win (2-1) against France by the U20. Both goals were a thing of beauty. Another solid game by Zaccagno, almost stopped the penalty kick, too. If anybody watched the game, any reason why the third Italian goal was disallowed?
Was up and realized the quarters of the U20 were on. Half way through and Zambia was up 1-0 and as I turned it on Pezzella is being ejected with a straight red for a controversial touch on the Zambians shoulder. Surprisingly Fox broadcasters were dumbfounded as well. He touched the Zambian player on the shoulder, the Zambian stays on his feet and rounds the keeper then falls. Ref points to the spot but is called back from the eye in the sky who reversed his decision. Free kick outside the box. Haven't seen much else but Cassata was subsequently substituted for Dimarco
Orsolini ties it up with a header from a nice cross by Panico. Apparently Orsolini missed two others. Possession is In Italy's favor 55-45%
Zaccagno has been out of this world, but some dude name Fashion scored a Fashionable goal, nullified by Dimarco who smashed a Pirlo into the corner of the net on a free kick. It's been a pretty exciting game.
Just saw the ending and Italy looked good but Zambia also looked dangerous. Onto England or Mexico next! Largo ai giovani!
Zambia was dangerous throughout. I started watching after the Red. They were fearless, but their defense wasn't great and their keeper took a lot of chances that could have cost them even more. Zaccagno was the MOM. He made at least 4 game savers.
Italia, è un'impresa storica tris allo Zambia e semifinale Storica Italia: è semifinale! 3-2 allo Zambia dopo 120' Azzurrini in 10 dal 43' p.t. Gol vittoria di Vido al 116' dopo che i tempi regolamentari si erano conclusi sul 2-2. Azzurrini ... Francesco Oddi 05 giu 17 - 12:31
watched the highlights. any game where you can pull off the win with a man down especially since they were losing already when they went to 10 men is remarkable. Great win for the boys! forza Azzurrini
Good win against a dangerous Zambian team, especially with 10 men. Federico Dimarco has some left foot eh?
Next game against the baby lions on the 7th. In the US, the game will be broadcast on either Fox Sports 1 or 2; at 4 AM, but not 100% sure of this time frame.
My bad!!!!!! Got the dates confused. The U20 match is on Thursday; tomorrow is the friendly against Uruguay.
I'm actually really excited for this tournament. Italy has a great team on paper. let's hope they translate this to some success
