+1 cookie to the Primavera. They won the first leg of the primavera coppa semis against Genoa 2-0.

do you have match details

Very little, mtl. Just that both goals were scored by new primavera striker Oduamadi, one in each half.

Alberto Paloschi scored the tying goal in the Italy U21 2-2 draw with Austria's U21 today.

There's not a lot of information on who played so I'm not sure if Di Gennaro and Darmian played.

The result isn't the greatest on the face of things but this was the first try out for what is basically the U20s plus one or two others (many of the call ups had played in the U19s last year). Austria was fielding their regular U21 side.

You know who scored for Austria?

Sand and Baumgartlinder.

Ohh,..don't know them. Well...thanks any way,..

According to the Football Italia report Di Gennaro played and Darmian played a half. It dosent say how well he played

The Primavera won again! FT Atalanta 0 - 1 Milan -- this is a good result to me as Atalanta traditionally has a strong youth setup.

I'm sad to report that the Giovanissimi C are slipping. They conceded another goal. They did win though!
FT Pizzighettone 1 - 3 Milan

It's time to start using steroids!

The steroids must have worked! The Giovanissimi C didn't concede this weekend against the baby cugini. FT result was 0-0 in this round of the derby.

I love that.

baby cugini lol is that Adriano's new team

Did we give them the Seedorf steroids? They need to score some goals, give them the Pato type!!! Those kids are amateurs, literally!

The Giovanissimi C have this weekend off. We'll see if the Pato steroids have the desired effect next week.

In other news, Michelangelo Albertazzi has been called up to the U20s for their upcoming game against Germany's U20s.

His first name is Michelangelo. That's all I needed to hear. Bring him into the first team please. And call him Michelangelo on the jersey. Not Albertazzi.

Fishdoll thinks you need to go do motivational lectures, dst.

The Giovanissimi C conceded another goal today.

They did, however, beat Pro Sesto 3-1. They play their Atalanta counterparts on Sunday.

Poor Giovanissim C

Kill one of them so the others know what's coming if they keep ridiculing the Milan name.

Do we really have to kill one? Can't we just scare them...I mean their 13 year-olds that can't be very hard to do, can it?

Maybe if we gave them more math homework every time they conceded a goal.

I like your approach better^^

So, weekend results.

Primavera 2 - 0 Cittadella (goals by Romagnoli and Pedrocchi)
Berretti 2 - 1 Montichiari (one of the goals was scored by Cafu's son)
Allievi Regionali 1 - 2 Atalanta (goal by Ganz's son)
Giovanissimi Nazionali 7 - 0 Como (goals by lots of people)
Giovanissimi Regionali 3 - 0 Rodengo Saiano
Giovanissimi C 1 - 3 Atalanta.

The math homework threat was a total backfire. They LOST.

Didafan wants to know: where the hell does Fishdoll get all this information??

Oh no now dst might employ his tactics...someone hide the giovanissimi c team please!

Fishdoll wants to know if there's Peppermint Bark involved...

Of course. Fishdoll likes his minty fresh breath, doesn't he?

Fishdoll does!

Anyway....er, info on the youth squads is on the official club website (italian version). No great mystery but Fishdoll DOES like his minty breath.

I like it

You guys are vicious! Remind me never to get you two angry

(Ro, if you want to make dst stop, just threaten him with the Bathtub Picture).

I have a better picture. But it's like a nuclear bomb. It'll hurt everyone. It did,the last time I posted it.

Thanks I'll have to remember that.

THEY LOST!?!??!?!!!???

I'm afraid I'm going to have to crucify God's son... I know it's not his fault but he will pay for the sins of the humans in that squad...




Wait...

I don't understand why our 3rd goalie is Kalac, when we have Perucchini...

The Allievi (the 16 year olds) won the Nereo Rocco tournament with some ease (international tournament against other youth teams).

+1 cookie to them!

Glad to hear (read!) that!

We have such strong youth teams, its about time we started using them properly

Michelangelo Albertazzi has been called up to the U20 side for its upcoming game against Germany!

but we need him here :S
Carlo is LOCO if he thinks i'm glad kalac is there

Is this Michelangelo guy a GK?

He's a LB mostly who sometimes plays CB. Was captain of the Italy U17s last year and has been promoted up.

Oh, OK, thanks. The Kalac reference was pretty random.

Albertazzi played pretty good.

But Carlo wasn't smart putting in a defense of players who hardly play with each other. There was Mattioni, Darmian, Thiago Silva, and Albertazzi. That poor prima goalie Perucchini almost stood no chance.

Yeah, it seemed like a hastily-assembled team for a pickup game.

Peru completely looked like a fish(doll) out of water, conceding three goals at the drop of a hat and missing everything in the PK shootout.

Here are the preliminary Azzurini call ups for the U21 Euros, scheduled for this summer in Sweden. 24 of these guys will make the final squad list.

Portieri: Consigli (Atalanta), Fiorillo (Sampdoria), Seculin (Fiorentina), Sirigu (Ancona);

Difensori: Andreolli (Sassuolo), Ariaudo (Juventus), Bocchetti (Genoa), Capelli (Atalanta), Criscito (Genoa), De Silvestri (Lazio), Esposito (Lecce), Marzoratti (Empoli), Motta (Roma), Pisano (Cagliari), Ranocchia (Bari), Rubin (Torino), Santacroce (Napoli), Santon (Inter);

Centrocampisti: Abate (Torino), Barillà (Reggina), Bottone (Vicenza), Candreva (Livorno), Cerci (Atalanta), Cigarini (Atalanta), De Ceglie (Juventus), Dessena (Sampdoria), Lanzafame (bari), Marchisio (Juventus), Morosini (Vicenza), Poli (Sassuolo);

Attaccanti: Acquafresca (Cagliari), Balotelli (Inter), Di Gennaro (Reggina), Giovinco (Juventus), Macheda (Manchester United), Mendicino (Lazio), Osvaldo (Bologna), Paloschi (Parma), Paolucci (Catania), Pozzi (Empoli).

There are at least a few Primavera products in the first list!

Is Pozzi the lad who chose not to have surgery on one of his fingers in order to not miss the end of the season? Do we still own him?

That's the one! Empoli owns both him and Marzoratti now; that deal was concluded at the end of last season.

Well that sucks.

Well, it would seem that dst's threats have been effective!

The Giovanissimi C beat the baby cugini in the semifinal of the tournament for their age group and today will face Roma in the final!
