AS Roma
Juventus 2 – Roma 0

Simply put, Juve were and are better. The end.
And (fortunately), I have to bolt. So I’ll call it: Game
87′ Juventus is doing other things now, none of them are beneficial to Roma, while Heinze just got away with a handball.
86′ Kjaer does what Kjaer actually does really well – clears one off the line.
80′ Estigarribia flashes a shot just wide of the post. He’s been excellent.
79′ Great run by Perrotta from midfield with an equally great pass from Angels, but defended well. The little things. Ya know. Like defense.
78′ It is highly likely Juventus at least gets a third by the time this is out….
77′ A masked avenger enters the pitch, looking suspiciously like Fabio Quagliarella.
Hey! Kjaer made a tackle!
73′ I believe Lamela’s final act (or one of them) for beloved club River Plate was to slyly punch an opponent in the gut. He fits in well in Rome.
72′ Smartly, Luis pulls off Francesco for Perrotta. Yessir, they’re punting the rest of this one.

Roma 3 – Fiorentina 0
Poor first half, great second half. I could get used to this.
And Fabio is happy, thus we’re all happy.
Game
92′ Google Images has crushed them.
90′ Dreams are building, people…
89′ Thought: does Kjaer wear long sleeves? Denmark isn’t quite as far north as Norway, but it’s certainly up there. Plus he must want to show off his tattoos….
87′ The last several minutes can be best described as “owning far more work than one would expect from a 3-0 Coppa game in the final ten minutes”.
81′ Lady G with an epic tackle. Fiorentina with an epic mountain they’ll never climb.
79′ So right. Third sub already used. I thought Enrique came from the same school of coaching as Pep, which dictates the third sub is kept through injury time?
78′ It’s worth noting Borini is wearing purple boots, which could be confusing some on the pitch who judge teammates only by the color of their boots, not their shirt. Or face. Or anything useful.
Or maybe it’s just magic.

The clip which aired on the board in the pregame, and effectively so.
However, it’s no Pink Fluffy Unicorns, which is why both goals had to come from penalties.
