The Olympic team is just the Olympic team.

The U-21 team is the most succesful U-21 team in Europe instead.

Young players do not get enough PT, but the trend is changing. Balotelli and Pato got even too much responsibility in their teams and other youngsters played as well.

Regarding another post, the 7 sisters don't exist anymore, you just can't substitute Parma with Palermo. Lazio for one is a small team now-a-days. There are 5 sisters now who will grab the 4 CL places, with Napoli/Palermo/Udinese/Sampdoria ready to be the surprise, while the rest will battle to avoid relegation.

Udinese is always an interesting club aren't they? They have been in the Serie for quite a while now and always produce a great team ..its just too bad they never won anything....

Italia, schegge di futuro

Lippi proverà durante le qualificazioni al Mondiale del Sud Africa a miscelare il "suo" gruppo di veterani con alcuni giovani. Chiellini, Aquilani e Montolivo sono già certezze. Strada facendo potrebbero dimostrarsi utili anche Santacroce, Rossi e Giovinco. E altri ancora
