Jannik Sinner is crushing it in Miami. He's a tifosi, he should buy his provincial club CB Sudtirol and get them into Serie A.

For me Kean is the MVP, the guy is a hustler. Almost got a bicycle goal in. Even if they go thru I can't see them win against a team like Spain, unless they took it easy with this game.
He's got nice touch and a nice finish.
They're lacking in the midfield to do serious damage.
They're missing a maestro.

They may have one in Nicollo Pisilli. He came in for Tonali who sacrificed himself on Kean's goal. Immediately he picked up the pace that nearly ended in another goal. He looks like Zaniolo before the knee injuries. Gennarino does have options, he has to show confidence in younger players.


Poetic justice everybody? Fabio Paratici nearly destroyed Moise Kean's career when he was Sporting Director of Juve. He seemed a genius after bringing CR7 to Torino. Yup he's a super genius of Wile E Coyote proportions. He left Juve for the big money with Tottenham - he turned them into a powerhouse!

That's always been a sore spot, Italy's never showed confidence in their young guys.
A young Zaniolo is high praise, here's to hoping.

So we play Norway, in the fist half it was aboot even, but in the 2nd half we completely destroy Norway!!
You can argue they were missing Haaland, but we were missing Fenkie in midfield, so it it all kinda evens up.

Final score 2-1

I watched some of it but the Norwegian were very boring, too much passing. I think they were holding back, they did beat Italy 4-1 in November...The dutch have a very good team, Dumfries is now healthy. I also watched some of the Brits against Uruguay, again these are friendlies so nobody pushes really hard.
