sne Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 4 minutes ago, KenjiOgiwara said: You might be right, but according to wiki his brother played for Milan way before he were in Milan. He's brother also were in the Milan youth setup, which is even more confusing to me as they were apparently born down towards Sorrento, and that's definitely Napoli territory. I took the old train route down there in a Roma jersey on Saturday night. Not doing that again. How I got away from that I'll never know. His brother was signed as a youth player back in the day but never made the step up, they then signed the younger Donnarumma who was a much bigger talent when he was 14 to the youth set up. They continued to keep the older brother around (while loaning him out) so that Gianluigi would feel at home. Milan likely had the inner track to sign him since the older brother was already at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I don’t know how Welsh people feel about it but I’m getting seriously bored of constantly being reminded how incredible 2016 was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Swiss got a much better team than people suggesting, always well drilled in tournaments and know how to get out of groups so think they'll win 2-1 today. Think Wales have more chance of a win v Turkey tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I fancy the Swiss today too, 2-0. Wales should beat Turkey who looked poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Not quite the same atmosphere as in Rome is it. Game played in Baku, Azerbaijan. A nation that isn't even in the tournament and a stadium with running tracks going round the pitch wider than I've ever seen. Back to that lifeless pre-season match feeling we've gotten used to in the last year and a half. Edited June 12, 2021 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Now I remember why I don't watch American international games anymore... ESPN commentators are horrific. Alejandro Moreno has no business calling games. Guess I'm going on mute for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 What happened to Zakaria, I thought he was the latest must have box to box midfielder? I mean they're playing three centrally so can't say there's no room for him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) I might have misheard it but I thought they said before the game they can fill this stadium to 50% full but the locals weren’t interested in going.

They couldn't sell out when Arsenal and Chelsea played the europa final in 2019, loads of empty seats for that one and had the air of pre season friendly. If you'd played this in Tehran for a laugh 100 miles down the road 90k would've probably turned up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
