This famous under 21 tournament came to an end last night [although this year it was under 23 because of olympic year!]
Its not something the Italians have been invited to, too often in the past,or maybe they have declined the offer, often before.
Anyway true to form,they turned up on a mission,some would say at times, that mission was to distroy "the beautifull game"
manages by Zola and casiraggi, they won their group and won the semi finals on pens against japan!
Last night they won the final against a well fancied chile side, and now will be heading off to the olympics later in the summer.
Well organised, maybe olympic gold is asking too much, as the african nations tend to send out there very best including 3 overage players, but you never know .....
