Tonight, (19.30 italian h), Italy will start its campaign in the Euro competition.

I didn't, as noone was showing the game. Eurosport showed the other game Germany vs. Spain.

Italy v. Czech Rep. is going on right now. Paloschi, Darmian and Bruscagin are playing. The streams for the game are available online.

13' to the end
Italy is up by 3 to 2
penalty scored by Paloschi :beer:

it's fantastic listening to our bench (Francesco 'kawasaki' Rocca) screams.

ps.: now it 4 to 2

andrea Poli after a superb assist by Okaka

[Giancarlo]

Yeah I heard. Italy surely came alive for this match knowing it was a must win...

And luckily I found it on ESPN DP here... keep in mind Italy scored that 4th after being knocked down a man to ten... before all the action really heated up in the 2nd half.

And no matter how many England scores, they can't progress... Italy surely is going to.

Edit: Argh, Italy... hold off the Czechs... they scored... 4-3 right now... scoring 4 against the hosts and winning was never gonna be easy.

Edit 2: And Italy is through... they win 4-3... tense finish there...

Good game i must say, but i didn't like the Darmians preformance, Italy conceded two goals from his mistake, seconde and third, he was captain but his anticipation was afwul. I realy hope that next game he will play better than this one.
Whole in whole, good game lot of goals and Italy goes through.

Yeah his performance were not up to par... I'll say different about Paloschi (who I think deserved more than just one goal) and Poli... they were great... Darmian should be given more time to play domestically... but I really hope he does work on it.

The second and third goals were because Italy did not respond fast enough to defend. Either way, the Czechs were not going to be easy to defeat in their own soil.

[Mystik]

The way the UEFA site lists the Italy lineup...Darmian looks like he played RB. Is this so or did he play CB? If he did play RB then it may have affected his performance as he usually plays CB for the Primavera.

[SANT]

he played the right side of the CB couple... the position Nesta always plays for Milan...

Bonaventura had a great second half too...

[pece4ever]

Bonaventura had a great second half too...

Yes, i totaly agree with you.

[Filipéz 182]

Also our most promising young defender played in that game. Michelangelo Albertazzi. he played as LB, but I wasnt too impressed by him. also not by darmian and bruscagin. BTW didnt Bruscagin left Milan?

Paloschi had an overall quiet game, but he still managed to give a wonderfull assist, convert a penalty wich he has won himself. He also had a nice shot at goal, he controlled the ball out of the air, turned and volleyed at goal, goalkeeper saved. But a few moments later he shouldve scored a one on one against the goalkeeper.

[ginoformaggino]

Martin Fernando Forestieri goaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllll

[Giancarlo]

Italy U-19 has really exceeded all expectations... they go to the final... 1-0... with the goal by Forestieri

[ginoformaggino]

good job well done

Italy is in final vs. Germany (I presume) on saturday h. 19.00 CET

We got a dangerous forward line and Okaka recalls me Drogba

[Giancarlo]

Fiorillo, the goalkeeper did a good job too... and the defense showed marked improvements...

[regin]

they say alot of good things about the goalkeeper..

Germany is now with 10 men
red card to the their captain after 2 fouls on Okaka
red card and advantage both deserved

[ray888]

Milan should sign the german rb, dennis diekmeier from bremen before his value rises further ! :5schal:

[Campari]
