Bernardo has been good for Portugal. 1 assist and now 1 goal for him against Luxembourg.

 

[River Plate]

Retegui with another goal. There's info saying that Italy has many young Argentinians in their radar. After these Retegui performances, they are going to steal us all.

Must be some interesting interpretation on Italian citizenship qualifications, I guess. Something like qualifying for Ireland if you've drunk a Guinness or a shot of Jameson's whiskey,maybe?

They could pretty much call any Argentinian if they liked. We all have some Italian ancestry somewhere in our blood. Spain could do the same if the wanted.

The thing is that, obviously, Argentines would rather play for Argentina, that's why Italy is trying to catch up young talent that isn't on the Argentina NT radar yet to secure them before they get good enough to be able to choose.

Did I hear that right; the first time since 1994 that there is no Juve player on the pitch or the bench for Italy tonight?

I see Bernie scored for Portugal tonight in their routine win in Luxembourg.
