It's the Under 21 Euros, which are for some reason less insane than the Under 20 competitions. There used to be under 23 competitions but I think most players who are any good are playing for the senior side by then, so they got rid of them.

Here are the highlights from today's match, looks like it was a good one

So much passion from the players, they all looked hungry for the win and showed a ton of emotion. We need more of that.

They scored 15 and 22 respectively in Serie B last year. Maybe they still have something in 'em.

This is the last year, I imagine the management will try to sell him in January but he'll probably go on a free (or stick around :v: )

For anyone wondering, "scadenza" in that pay chart is the end of a players contract.

They just got promoted after spending a longish time in Serie B. They're also a known thrifty club, they have one of the best academies in Italy and they exist mostly by selling their good young players and taking in loans to cover.

Benatia claimed to german papers that he was sold by Roma, but he really wanted to stay, he was sold cause the club needed the cash. Here's what the club had to say:

James Pallotta posted:

Mehdi Benatia has obviously continued with his pattern of outright fabrications over the last couple of months. We had a verbal agreement on compensation and a raise back in July in Boston. He personally said to me that he was happy after I told him flat out with no exceptions that we wanted him to stay. Over the following month he lied about wanting to stay and about the details of his compensation to both Rudi Garcia and his teammates. Lying to me was one thing which I can somewhat handle. Lying to Rudi Garcia and his teammates was completely unacceptable to me. I told Walter Sabatini he was becoming a poison and I wanted him gone, and Rudi and Walter agreed. It wasn’t about the money; it was about having character in our locker room. We are in a very sound financial position. As owners of Roma, we make difficult decisions all the time. As a fan of Roma, I am deeply disappointed that one of our players could act this way.

Didn't he also bitch and moan that he wanted to leave for months as soon as some big clubs came looking? Maybe that was all a bunch of bullshit from the press but he never really said anything about wanting to stay, that's for sure.

The answer to that question, not just for Caceres but for every player in the Juve squad, is Simone Padoin.

So what did Maicon do?

quote:

Roma defender Maicon was yesterday kicked out the Brazil squad, with Brazil refusing to explain why.

Rumours have spread regarding why the 33 year old full back was dismissed.

They largely centre around Maicon and Corinthians star Elias, with three main rumours doing the rounds on Twitter.

1. The first rumour was that Maicon was caught having sexual intercourse with teammate Elias.

2. The second rumour claimed he jerked off into David Luiz’s bottle of shampoo.

3. The third rumour, which originated on satirical Brazilian website Ole do Brasil , claims Maicon spread pepper and milk on Elias’s arse and then told him in the morning that he had been raped by four men.

The Judas reference is spot on since denari is the word I've heard used for the coins(diamonds) suit in cards. That poo poo is absolutely priceless.

Why would they kick Maicon out just for having consensual gay sex with a teammate? Did they kick Elias out too?

The guy probably teabagged Elias as a prank or something like that.

Oh, the Under-21's smashed Cyprus 7-1 (after going a goal down, of course) and topped their qualifying group for the Under-21 Euros next year. The next stage is a 2 legged playoff for the group winners and the 4 best second place teams. The winners will play in the finals next year.

Arturo Vidal hurt his right thigh while on international duty: he's back in Turin undergoing further tests, after which Juve will say if/when he can return to the side.

Not so lucky were Udinese: Simone Scuffet sprained his right ankle while with the Italy U-19 team, and will miss a month of action.

Tevez too now, probably the same amount of time. Seems that Juventus poached our physio team from last year (not in time to avoid Rossi's injury tho :argh:)
