Wow, The Under 17s are scoring for fun. Campienello Inacio and Blini are something else and sshould keep the young attacking talent pipeline stocked for the future
The Under 21's are tearing France apart 2-0 and you love to see it. I stand by my earlier statement that Italy will win the Euro U21's next summer
Yeah France was much better in the second half and scored some well deserved goals on their behalf but Italy for sure left 2 or 3 goals hanging around. Still feel real good about this team next summer. I don;t know how Ndour plays in this midfield.tbh especially over Bove or Fabbian,, the guys has the worst touch for a mid. Casadei is brilliant and I do not know how he doesn't play every week either in England or Italy. I thought Kayode was too looses in this game and got beat constantly ..would have like to see Zanotti come on for him in the second.
