Instead of asking a question, as I usually do at the end of each post, how about sending words of encouragement to our Azzurrini?.... Let's get the ball rolling....

















I WISH THEM ALL LUCK! I HOPE LIPPI WILL PAY ATTENTION TO THEM AND START BRING YOUNG TALENTED PLAYERS TO THE FIRST ITALIAN TEAM!!!!

I join you milan99 to send my best wishes to our Azzurri and for Lippi to take a closer look to the young generation for the Azzurri.
Soon we will have our virtual get together to support our Azzurrini.
Forza Italia

My babies sure look good in their blue jerseys. I wish them all the best. I know they will do their best, and play with style. The competition is fierce, so I hope they perform better than our senior team. I still can’t believe that Fabiano Santacroce isn’t among the selected player. What a loss!!! Tremendous loss! With his absence, let's hope our defense doesn't fall apart. Forza Azzurrini.

Rossi looks great!
Let's hope they do better than the 'nazionale maggiore.'
