CONGRATULATIONS GUISEPPI ROSSI
Rossi Scores Twice as Italy downs USA 3-1
Giuseppe Rossi
Italy was making their first-ever appearance at the Confederations Cup, and despite being the reigning world champions, they had a point to prove due to some indifferent form over the past nine months.
The USA believed they were in with a real chance of qualification to the semi-finals, and were pinning their attacking hopes on star man Landon Donovan. Rossi had other ideas and made an instant impact, as within seconds from entering in the second half he scored a screamer to put Italy level.
The Italian-American won the ball in midfield, strode forward and then unleashed a thunderbolt from 30 yards into the top corner.
The PASCO U15 boys won their game
on Sunday, June 7th against Columbia United Premier 1-0 to become the Region 1 Colonial League Champions.

Coach Texeiria spoke about youth development, the role he plays as a scout, and the development of coaches in Argentina. In any given year, over 10,000 boys will be scouted by Estudiantes. Of which, only a handful will actually be chosen to play for the club.
