Water polo, easy world start for Setterosa: Argentina overwhelmed 27-1

Avegno poker in the South American goleada. Silipo’s national team finds South Africa on Tuesday

The Setterosa world tournament in Fukuoka begins with a goleada against Argentina, where he gained an unforgettable gold medal in 2001. An easy victory (27-1), almost training for Carlo Silipo’s girls in group C. The Azzurri, after Leonard’s 1-1, lock down Banchelli’s goal first and Condorelli after: all of our goals players with poker from Avegno and hat-tricks from Bettini, Tabani and Bianconi. The blues, fourth a year ago in Budapest, will be back on the water on Tuesday at 5 against South Africa; then they will close the group stage on Thursday, at 3.30, against Greece in the match that will give away first place in the group and therefore direct access to the quarter-finals.
