QUOTE (dst @ Aug 23 2008, 12:02 AM)  Carletto too left Pato out in some games towards the end of the season and I still don't know why. It's no secret Carlo loves/prefers to have old players in his team. besides, he's a defensive minded coach... he barely fields two strikers. Pippo was on fire those days, and on the other hand Pato was suffering from 'mysterious injury' (= BS). that's why, I think. QUOTE (Habitant @ Aug 23 2008, 05:54 AM) my neighbor is brazilian and she was visiting when she saw that. Well, we were talking about Brazilians and whether they are arrogant. I don't think what some stupid people did by selling Selecao shirts with six stars on it can be attributed to the players. This post has been edited by zdrossoneri: Aug 23 2008, 07:15 AM |

England U21s vs Portugal U21s about to start.
A draw or England win will win England the group. A defeat could still be enough to win the group, but we're almost guaranteed a 'best runners up' position. Portugal need a win, a draw may not be good enough for even a best runners up place. |

The fish doll offers you both a cookie? (it'd be more, but Gabby didn't get the goal).
Italy's U21 are playing against Greece. It's still scoreless (as of the 33d minute). |

It's a qualifier, Kurt. Italy are already through. It's a matter of whether they or Croatia will go through as group leaders.
The defense is not paying attention. GRRR. No cookies for them. |

They're playing Balotelli and Osvaldo (er. or were. Osvaldo - who sucks when playing for the U21s and should go back to FLorence - was just subbed out for Lanzafame). Acquafresca would've been there but is hurt.

Acquafresca has scored something like 5 goals in the qualifiers... so he could have a major influence. Him not being there could have something to do with the lack of scoring. |

FT England U21s 2-0 Portugal U21s
Milner (pen) and Agbonlahor with the goals. 25 games unbeaten now for our Under 21s, only 2 defeats in the last 34 games and 15 games unbeaten at home. The future of English football is in huge trouble? Think again. |
