One tie and an italian victory. But, above all, the deserved tribute to a legend of futsal like Predrag Rajic. This is the resume of the double international challenge between Serbia and Italy, below have a look at some pictures taken by our friend and collaborator Predrag "Pedja" Bajic. We suggest you to visit his impressive futsal blog, where you can find everything about futsal in Serbia and not only! Click here to have a look. On the italian side, an encouraging signal for Roberto Menichelli and his "renewed" Italy (currently a mix of azzurri and brazzurri) and our most sincere congratulations to the (real) italian guys who have accepted to represent their futsal national team though having been ignored for more than 10 years (just not to say humiliated) by the local futsal committee looking for a silly glory on the international stage. And they're still in charge!
Coming back to serious matters, let's us join Serbian FA in paying tribute to the great Predrag Rajic and his unforgettable experience with the red shirt of Serbia. Congratulations!
