I meant Andy, I cant even ask with yours because the only way to see a glimpse of you in that pic is if you were smiling. But you dont seem the smiling type.

Yep that's me.

In case you dont know, the Azzurrini is playing right now (25mins in), Giovinco and Balotelli together is worth a look:

Grande gol di Balotelli!

 

[Marceℓℓo]

Balotelli is a very talented player I must admit.

 

[Osman]

Indeed, as I said, its defenitely worth a look more now that this beast is here (His stay in the u-21 will be brief). What a sweet shot technique he has.

 

[CORVETTE]

Marchisio was the best player in the 1st half , IMO .

 

[Dominic]

Marchisio was the best player in the 1st half , IMO .

Marchisio is looking really good indeed. So in control of things, when on the ball. Supports both the defence and attack very well. Other than a few sloppy balls, he's been excellent. Dessena and Cigarini look like half the player Marchisio is.

 

[Marceℓℓo]

-one of the weaker games of Giovinco
-Criscito did pretty good on the left side
-I love Bocchetti,don't ask why because even I don't know
-Marchisio MOM,very mature display
-Balotelli is an Interista but you can't doubt his talent

 

[Osman]

Bocchetti and Andreolli is a sorry excuse for defenders. You love him???

 

[Marceℓℓo]

Yeah,I really like Bocchetti and how he plays.Very calm and solid.I'm curious to know how he will do in his first Serie A season.

1-1 FT.

Italy had an off game, although I must admit Lanzafame played very well in the 15-20 minutes he was given. Osvaldo does not pass the ball, and Balotelli makes dirty tackles.

 

[da_ledgeaun]

So how was the match,were the Azzurrini's in control of the match,how did they not win this match..??I mean it was a pretty much full team u21 Azzurrini right?

 

[Christina]

Yes, it was a full team, but as I said they were not in control and had an off game.

Iwanir(Israel coach) is shorn of key figures such as Ben Sahar, Baram Kayal, Etey Schechter and Maor Bar Buzaglo because of senior call-ups, and his options were reduced further following injury to Beitar Jerusalem FC striker Toto Tamuz and Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC midfielder Avihai Yadin.

Balotelli is ill (Osvaldo instead), and De Silvestri is not playing LB, but a natural LB in Pisano is. The lineup:


Consigli
Motta, Andreolli, Criscito, Pisano
Dessena, Cigarini, Marchisio
Osvaldo, Giovinco
