Well another tie for Juventus yersterday at Sampdoria 0-0. Where is the offense?, is Trezeguet missed that Much? Sissoko and Camoranesi played well enough but goal scoring is needed.

To paraphrase Stewie Griffin -- victory is Milan's. Great win, puts the Rossoneri right back in the race. Forwards did well, nice play in the middle, good work by Abiatti in net, the back four still scares the hell out of me.

I missed all the games this weekend as I was away, but I did get the last 5 minutes of the Milan derby and the highlights.
Juve blew another one away at Samp, although Del Piero had a couple good chances - including that ball off the outside of the post. They really need to get their stuff in gear. Lazio is on fire though. I wonder if they can keep it going through the season. Zarate scored again (albeit from the spot this time), but I think that takes his tally to 5 on the season. Gilardino is having quite the rebirth at Fiorentina as well. Another goal - and a great one at that! Thank God for ESPN Deportes, as that's the only place I was able to get a few highlights. |

Futronic, I know what you mean regarding soccer coverage on television. Luckily we have the FOX Soccer Channel here and we get several Serie A games per week along with some EPL and other other matches from South America. The Champions League is seriously lacking though, with maybe a match or two on ESPN and virtually no coverage of the UEFA cup.

Big and red, if you have high speed internet you can watch just about every game played live. Check out www2.myp2p.eu.

Actually, the reason I missed all the games was because I was away at my brother's wedding. If I would have been at home, I would have seen the matches live.

What a terrible Champions League match for Juventus. 2-2 to BATE, who the heck is BATE? The team looked tired. Quickly down 2-0, Iaquinta then got involved with two gaols for Juve. Then, no goals in the second half. Giovinco was great again, but Sissoko and Camoranesi looked very tired. Where is Del Piero? Goal scoring and midfeild depth is lacking. This team is not built for the Champions League. Now on to Sunday and Palermo.

Ranieri must go. A 2-1 loss to Palermo at home for the Bianconeri. Ranieri does not seem able to react to any changing conditions in the game. Sissoko received a red card in the first half and it was all downhill from there. Please call Vialli, Conte or Ferrara for the coaching job.

Oh stop your complaining big & red, Milan got held by freckin Cagliari today.
Did you see the Juve game? Sissoko's red was more then harsh. Palermo is a pretty good team, at least they were until both Miccoli and Bresciano went down injuried today. "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." Gerald Ford |

If Juve would give me reason, I would stop complaining. That being said, I really think playing every three days this year is showing. The team is just not deep enough to play on two fronts this season.

Raineri *has* to get fired after the poor substitutions and tactics in that second half. Lost their last two Serie A games and are winless in the last 5 in all competitions.
Total BS. |

I kind of enjoyed watching the Napoli game.

Did not see the match, however, really disappointed by the result. I almost expected a loss. Time for a change at the top or even a finish in the top four will be out of reach. I cannot remember a run like this recently.

3-0 for Milan as they continue their climb up the table. Two for Ronnie and one in stoppage time by Pippo. The first half was close with Sampdoria having the slight edge. Kaka came on for Pato at the half and from then on Milan was in complete control. Now we need Roma to take care of Inter in the late game and the Rossoneri will only be a point out of first.

The early goal by Ibrahimovic has really opened up this game. End to end action!
I missed the Milan game this morning because I couldn't find a decent stream. I ended up watching the Sicilian derby instead. Meh. |

Zlatan was offsides, his second goal was good though, and may very well put Roma away.

What the heck is going on with this Roma-Inter game? The Roma defense is abysmal! They've been hanging Doni out to dry and the goals are coming in from all angles. Geez!

I guess this shows why Roma's standing is where it is. Getting Totti back doesn't help the backline.

Finally Juve gets off the snide with a 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the Coppa Campioni. Del Piero, Sissoko and Nedved look to be getting back into form thankfully.

Del Piero's goal was a cracker and a half. Fantastic stuff!
