Since we have a bunch of youth players in this competition, I thought we should open a thread.
Coutinho played 87 minutes in Brazil's 3-2 win over Japan, getting a beautiful 30 yard through ball assist in the process.
Italy had four of our youth players in the squad starting against Algeria: 2 NATALINO, 6 CRISETIG, 11 DELL'AGNELLO, 19 FOSSATI
Dell'Agnello played 59 minutes, while the other 3 played the full 90 mins. Italy won the game 1-0, but none of our guys scored...anybody see this game and can comment on their performances?
