Good Foot Skills

I don’t think that’s what we are seeing. Many of the other European teams have great young players on them. For example Germany is led by Ozil, Mueller and Podolski. The first two are under 20 and Podolski isn’t too far over. I think what we are really seeing is that soccer is a young persons game. Italy came into this tournament with a team that was just four years older than the one that won the last World Cup. Which just isn’t ever going to be good enough, especially when your team was kind of old to start.



Or maybe we’re just seeing that Italy is struggling to develop new dependable talent, which I’m sure that low birth rate isn’t helping.

Ask me anything…
