So where's Darmian and the other defender that played for the U-21. Is Darmian that bad that he doesn't even get called up? I just hope Pato and Kaka don't get injured. Couldn't care less about these internationals, I was lookin forward to Lecce this weekend but... :yuck:

 

All the times I've seen Darmian I've never been impressed. I really don't know what all the hype around him was about. Maybe they just needed someone to talk up.

 

But he was the captain of the junior Italian team, if I recall right. How can the captain not be good enough?

 

He hasn't developed imo, du eot lack of games. Albertazzi looked good in u19 during Summer.

 

When is the U21-game? It seems like Paloschi and Di Gennaro will be starting according to the Gazzetta and I would very much like to see that

 

Great thread Jani

I wonder why you included Yoann?

 

Oh actually I forgot about him but then I realized I put in Paloschi and Di Gennaro..



Yeah right

 

Apparently Kaka got injured again in training with Brazil :wallbang:

It seems nothing serious though, and the chance of him playing this weekend is 50%.


I really don't have a good feeling about this

 

All things considered, for Milan it will be much better if he doesn't play this weekend.

 

The U21 game is today at 18.00 CET. Streams will be available here:

Doesnt work :/

 

I actually left out Darmian. He will be sitting on the bench tonight according to Gazzetta.

They say:

Fiorillo

Crescenzi-Ranocchia-Ariaudo-Renzetti

Poli-Bolzoni-Barilla

Pasquato-Di Gennaro

Paloschi​

Bench:

Seculin
Bellusci
Darmian
Malomo
Castiglia
Cia
Immobile

Di Gennaro and Paloschi have been assigned the #10 and #9 as well :thumbsup:


Meanwhile Zambrotta did not participate in Italy's training session today as a precaution.

 

Shall we name this as the Italian U-21 thread?

 

Kaka and company will be playing against my country this sunday. I hope we whype the floor with them, but that aside, in the altitude of Quito (and the good but not great pitch) of the stadium, I would surely not put kaka to that strain if he is at 50/50.

 

playing on that altitude is against human logic by the way Nepal should play their games few hundred meters below Everest. They can organize a World Cup there and will surely win it.

 

Like it mattered when we played you that one time on sea level, and we have beaten every single eastern european team we have ever faced,except for Poland once in a friendly. Little did it matter when we played them off the pitch in germany 2 months later.

We would have a shot at beating Brazil at sea level, we choose to play at altitude because thats where the capital is and because of the advantage. And my dear zingaro, you are supposed to be the hippie here and the one that roots for the underdog, stop complaining.

 

No it doesn't work for me either :moan:

 

Everyone should play Sweden in Luleå. In January.

 

Yeah it's quite a sight when a polar bear suddenly runs onto the pitch and starts chasing the ball. Ah the memories :smileani:

 

That's our fullback. He do the job.

 

Austria is ahead.

 

Can't believe how easily austria scores. I also can't believe the utter horror of music they played when they scored.

 

Austria just scores a third. disallowed though. Italy isn't playing that bad, but Austria is clinical.

 

Just checking livescore every now and then. Italy equalised to 2-1 but no name was assigned to the goalscorer so I've spamupdated it and now itäs 2-2.
No idea who scored, hopefully one of ours.

 

See the link on the other page.

Paloschi just scored the 2-2 goal. Nice turn and then shot it in the top corner. i missed the first goal and don't know who scored it. Think Pasquato assisted that second goal.

 

Yeah that stream hasn't worked for me at all. Nice to see Paloschi scoring :thumbsup:

EDIT: A new stream that is working here:

Stream died.

 

Hopefully Paloschi's goal will be up online later.

 

According to TMW, Willy and Pierre Aubameyang have been called up to the Gabon NT.
