rossthejambo Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Really enjoyed that Israel - Norway game, some dodgy refereeing but decent game. Looking forward to seeing the junior Azzuri beating England next, Insigne and Verratti are 2 to keep an eye on. Cracking players. Borini starting as well.

Maroon Sailor Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Insigne looks like he is going to be the next best thing for Italian football. First I've seen of him and he looks like a star in the making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Quite looking forward to this tournie, any idea who the favourites are? Spain are comfortable favourites it seems. I've lumped a fiver on Holland. The squad with the most recognisable names after England. Plus, they usually have better luck in youth competitions than at senior level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 In fact, looking at the squads, I'm quite surprised that Italy didn't select El Shaarawy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Palmer Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Spain v Russia @1700 Holland v Germany @1930 Pearce didn't mince his words, calling England's performance "awful".

Harry Palmer Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 England have been papped oot after losing 3-1 to Norway. Pearce to get the boot? Wouldn't be that much of a surprise and there'll be much discussion about what's gone wrong etc etc. Italy cruising through, 3-0 against Israel at the moment.

Sergio Garcia Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Watched the England game, the players didn't look interested at all. Commentators were suggesting club managers seen the tournament as an inconvenience and wanted the players home as early as possible to be well rested for pre season. Lot of talk that Pearce won't survive this exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergio Garcia Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 And that is how England will never amount to anything. Agreed, there were players in the Norwegian team who were involved in the full squad on Friday night who flew to Israel to be involved with the under 21s, they don't see it as a demotion but as something to be proud of.
