Didn't get a chance to hail up d big performance of Giovinco yesterday. I hope that wasn't a once in a blue thing and that by next season he ready to replace Nedved and do that consistently.

Hopin Fiorentina at least keep Inter to a draw later even though ah know that after d Man Utd loss Inter will not b easy to defeat.

Oh lord..de man name have 4 letters in it, plus it written on his back and yuh spelling it wrong

Dida is essentially Milan's #2 since he's played practically all the UEFA Cup and Coppa Italia games...Was the other keeper supposed be the #2 ahead of him? He fall lower than I thought.

Look Inzaghi now score his 5th goal in 2 games since he get a starting role...I suprise I eh see Jai jooking Omar for some ole talk all now

Marcos · « **Reply #156 on:** March 15, 2009, 08:22:57 PM »

Inzaghi = Stern on steroids and HGH
Opportunist to the max. But his finishing touch is pure class.
Pato scored a serious bullet today.
Kaka looked lively before getting hurt
And R10 continues to show signs

Brazil could be real trouble in the upcoming qualifiers...

Another 4-1 performance by Juventus...Roma just couldn't cope. What I would need now is for Serie A to imitate EPL today where Man Utd and Chelsea lose and hope Reggina could beat Inter in d mornin...but I would end up poor if I put $ on that. Still a good result to ensure a lock on 2nd place and also good to c more flashes of brilliance from Giovinco...we need him in d future so good he showin some form this season.

Serie A - Adriano to take a break from football
Eurosport - Fri, 10 Apr 00:26:00 2009

Brazil and Inter Milan striker Adriano has said he will be taking a break from football and will rethink his career.

"I don't know if I'm going to stay for one, two or thee months without playing. I'm going to rethink my career."

He denied he was suffering from depression, added that happiness was more important than money, and said he had been living with the pressures of being a professional footballer since he was a teenager.

Adriano failed to return to Italy after the recent World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Peru, in which he was an unused substitute.

His agent Gilmar Rinaldi had previously said Adriano had stayed in Brazil because of a private matter and confirmed the player had spent time in Vila Cruzeiro, a Rio de Janeiro favela notorious for violence, where he was raised.

Since then, Brazilian media had been full of speculation over what had happened to him.

"There's no way I'm going to stop visiting my community," said Adriano. "That's where I'm at ease, barefoot and in bermudas."

"A lot of things have been said in the newspapers but everything I've done has been thought through. I'm not ill. Adriano's not dead," he said.

The striker, who has 29 goals in 47 appearances for Brazil, made his mark at international level when he was top scorer at the 2004 Copa America and the following year's Confederations Cup after replacing the unavailable Ronaldo in both tournaments.

He also scored a hat-trick in World Cup qualifier against Chile in September 2005.

The powerful forward has struggled with fitness and alcohol problems since the 2006 World Cup, showing only flashes of the form that made him one of the world's most feared predators.

He spent six months on loan with Sao Paulo in the first half of last year but after returning to Inter he irritated coach Jose Mourinho with a perceived lack of commitment.

But Adriano, who has had a number of false dawns, had been edging back into favour at the club in the last two months.

"I genuinely wasn't happy in doing what I've always enjoyed. I've lost the appetite, the glow. That's one of the things which made me do this. Money's not important, nothing is important in life apart from happiness.

"There's no other problem. I like to laugh, to joke around and that wasn't happening any more. I wasn't enjoying myself on the pitch.

"I've got nothing against Inter but I wasn't happy in Italy. There has been very great pressure on me since I was 18. I've taken this decision so I can be happy again. It's nothing to do with depression, I know what I'm doing."

Was a decent game... Genoa give them fits, that last counter was classic.

But watching that game only underscored for me my biggest gripe with continental football... dem man and dem does go to ground way too easy for my liking. Camoranesi tackle was rash, but looked worse than it actually was... he ketch the man wid he hip on the thigh and ref give him a straight red. I thought he showed great class as he left the pitch by acknowledging his error and checking on the "injured" player. But to me that wasn't a straight red.

I ent really arguing that though... was the rest of quick whistles that permeated the game... any tackle or near tackle and man dropping and rolling like dey on fire... and de ref keep rewarding the acting job too. Every slight touch. Just ridiculous.

Buffon was in great form today... even if the scoresheet doesn't reflect it.

freakazoid · « **Reply #168 on:** April 11, 2009, 06:17:19 PM »

buffon save on a header was ridiculous. wrt carmonesi's red card iwould say at best a yellow card, but thats from the comfort of my living after a few replays. in the heat of the game and in real time i wouldnt fault a ref 4 giving it a red. all in all serie A was real lively today

Filho · « **Reply #169 on:** April 11, 2009, 06:41:34 PM »

watched the genoa-juve game. glad to see Motta (ex-Barca) career back on track. but i could swear i heard the ref blow for a foul before his first goal. but then let the goal stand. truth is, it was all split second and noone stopped playing, but I feel it for the juve players there. what is the rule on that? can the ref leave the advantage if he already blew his whistle if in his judgement the play would have happened anyway...? i feel the ref made a mistake there

I think Inzaghi should open up a scholarship fund for Beckham's kids and donate half his salary every month, for the new lease of life he get since Beckham arrived.

Is only food serving up on ah platter...

Inter president Moratti condemns racial slurs

http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/9476892/Inter-president-Moratti-condemns-racial-slurs

Juventus on Monday to play a match behind closed doors because of the racist insults hurled by fans at Inter striker Mario Balotelli during a Serie A match.

League Judge Gianpaolo Tosel issued the ruling two days after Saturday's match at Turin's Olympic stadium, the ANSA news agency reported.

Balotelli, who scored Inter's goal in the 1-1 draw with Juventus, was the subject of repeated racial slurs and chants during the match.

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti said he would have pulled the Italian league leaders off the field had he been at the stadium.

"What I find terrible is that these chants were sung by at least four-fifths of the stadium," Moratti was quoted as saying Monday in Corriere della Sera.

"Had I been at the stadium, at a certain point I would have left my seat in the stands, I would have gone down on the field and pulled out the team," he said. "There must be a limit.

Balotelli was born in Palermo, the son of Ghanian immigrants. At 18, he is considered one of the game's most promising talents.

Moratti lamented that the media had not given enough prominence to the racial incident, saying that there is a risk of "getting used to racism."

Juventus has apologized, condemning the racial chants also on "on behalf of the overwhelming majority of our fans."

Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli said that "there can be no alibi or justification."

The team risks a fine or other sanctions from the Italian football authorities.

I really want to see a owner pull he team off the field. I feel that is just talk.

On the other hand, racial chants in Italy and especially from Juventus is nothing new. Thuram was the recipient of that during hi time in Turin.

I guess the best way for Balotelli to get back at them was to score but a one game behind closed doors is, as usual, a slap on the wrist.

Hopefully. But my respect for him as a player increase. Admittedly i find he a bit abrasive and the personification of unchanneled wileness...buh as somebody mentioned yesterday...to survive sometimes yuh hadda be like that. I dont think it might help shut people up though...rascism is so fundamentally foolish and illogical....it doh have no rationale behind it..nothing really is likely to change it. I remember Jan-Michael Williams was getting it from his OWN fans when he was in Hungary....same ting weighed heavily in Downing's and Bartholomew's decision to come back to W-connection. Especially in Balotelli rejecting Ghana outright...i hope he doh regret his decision.

Dise why I don't support Spain and Italy. I can understand why he plays with a chip on his shoulder, more people than not want and hope he fails. I hope he shoves it up their racist arses! Look forward to the day when the best footballer in Italy is a black Italian!
