This thread was originally going to be U21 thread however with the Olympics and Toulon tournament in mind i decided to change it to U23
So, some of you may know that the annual Toulon tournament will run from 20-29th May. It is being held in Toulon in France. Matches are 80 minutes not 90
The teams are Italy, Ivory Coast, Turkey, USA, France, Japan, Chile and Holland
Italy's squad has been announced;
Guarente (Atalanta); Pelle' (AZ Alkmaar); Lanzafame (Bari); Acquafresca e Canini (Cagliari); Abate, Bassi, Giovinco, Marchisio e Marzoratti (Empoli); Osvaldo (Fiorentina); Bocchetti (Frosinone); Nocerino (Juventus); De Silvestri (Lazio); Cigarini e Dessena (Parma); Dellafiore e Motta (Torino); De Ceglie e Galloppa (Siena); Coda (Udinese); Alfonso (Venezia).
(bolded players have some kind of connection to Milan)
We have been linked with Canini, so this will be a good way to see his abilities first hand. I will watch all of Italy's matches and update this thread, but i cant give guarantees on the other teams
Relevant fixtures
Wednesday, May 21 - 12:00 p.m. ET Italy vs. Ivory Coast
Friday, May 23 - 2:30 p.m. ET Italy vs. Turkey
Sunday, May 25 - 12:00 p.m. ET Italy vs. United States

Good luck to the Azzurini!

Fox Soccer Channel is showing all the games, I believe. Not sure if Max 'I'm so bad the puke face is too good for me' Bretos will be doing commentary though.

We don't have anyone in this group who's /technically/ one of ours (couple of co-ownerships, though). We do, however, have 3 kids at the U19 (Paloschi, Darmian, and Bruscagin) and a couple more in the U18 (Albertazzi and...argh, can't remember his name, but he's a goalie).
