The Udinese fans said that Meret since year and day the most exciting goalkeeper prospect was. Even when Scuffet got a spot in first team under Guidolin they said Meret was the better one en bigger prospect. I hope he or Scuffet will play in nuovo Stadio Friuli next season. They will sell Karnezis so the GK spot needs a replacement.

How is Scuffet doing for Como? I know they are last in table, but did he made some good (crucial) saves? Oh, and is there a youtube account or site where I can watch highlights from Serie B matches like the Serie A Tim canal on youtube?

I see Mandragora scored an own goal.

 

[JuveJay]

Another Juve kid (Rosseti) scored in the right end though.

FT Ireland 1-4 Italy

Benassi only seems to score great goals:

 

[DutchJuventino]

Mandragora's own goal

 

[piotrr]

Wait a minute... Mandragora is #4, he didn't touch the ball at all. He figures as an own goal scorer in all statistics.

 

[JuveJay]

The OG was by Rosseti.

Yes it was, Mandragora gets the blame everywhere tho.

Probably a paddy reporter on the mark

BTW Favilli scored for the U19 today against the mighty Israel. To be fair the U19s look really good right now.

that's a very good set of results. I usually see Italy struggle at U/19 of U/17 level. Some very promising young guys in the squad. What do you think of Alex Meret, heard good things about him? Another potential next great Italian GK

Meret is a stand out of course, he reminds me a little of Leali at that age. Brilliant shot stopped and handles the ball well. Seems to have sound positioning. You can't go wrong with Italian keepers whose names end in a consonant BTW Palermo have another one to keep an eye on - Leonardo Marson. And yep, he is also from Udine. Our kid Del Favero who is playing Viareggio instead of Audero (another talent) is also extremely highly rated. Italy have ridiculous potential depth with keepers.

Obviously we all know Romagna from our team. It's a surprise that Vitale also hasn't made the U19 side yet, although his serious injury last year probably caused that. He should be in the current squad (for me) but there is depth in his position - Manuel Locatelli, who is basically the jewel of the Milan system, really talented playmaker. Alberto Picchi, who is captain of Empoli's Primavera, and Nicolò Barella, who is probably the most experienced CM in there, and a big Cagliari talent.

I'm not sure Favilli will ever be more than a useful big CF, but he has decent feet as well. Giuseppe Panico looks decent, he looks and plays like Immobile. Might turn out nothing special. The other guy who scores a lot is Luca Vido, typical SS #10, another Milan player. He is a classy player with really good feet.

If you consider that players like Mandragora, Bonazzoli and of course Donnarumma are still eligible for this team then the future looks pretty decent.

Alex Meret is one cool name. Sign him up definitely.

Why isn't Berardi called up? Sounds like his comfort zone

i saw the thread and opened to ask this, too slow....



But now I see no Bioty Moise Kean there. Why wasnt he called up?

 

[JuveJay]

He's only 16, this is an U19 tournament and those in the squad have been in that group for some time.
