Roma v Milan

If you want a great game preview, go here for Andrea’s take. I’ve just returned from the “holidays” and will be sleeping til about 5 seconds before kickoff. My winter break ends Monday (Lega Calcio has promised to adopt my schedule starting in 2009-10); we resume the insanity then.

  Hope Jeremy does recover…

  Anyone know the specifics of the date/time of the game?

  whats the deal with totti being injured for this game? does our replacement for him count as a substitution?

  Great, Totti is rushing back from another injury…

  I feel like a draw flattered us, especially since our lineup allowed zero width. I’m actually glad to hear Menez is hurt and that Spalletti isn’t the moron I was calling him yesterday.

  Sztela, dont we have enough midfielders? If were gonna sign an American, get Gooch, hes a better option than Loria at the very least

  What am I hearing with Italy wearing the colors of the House of Savoy during the Confederations Cup?

  Also thank god for no Poldi rumours the last few days..

  All in all it was a positive game for Roma. Vucinic showed that he is a world class striker and that’s no small deal.
  DDR was supreme. Aquilani is back and so is Pizza. Riise is rising to the occasion. There were misplays but we do not expect perfect games all the time. Milan is a top notch team with class and a draw is not the end of Roma’s aspirations for a spot in the CL. But we still need that 3rd central defender and an outside one as well. Other than that, I think we can weather the storm.Does anyone feel that Cici might have been a better choice starting yesterday ? You know, Brasil on Brasil Bap still looks like neither fish nor fowl. Don’t think he has adapted to the play as yet. If he does he could well become a great asset.

  Is that what youre referring to Prade? A lighter shade of blue…that would be pretty strange

  Asem, I just graduated this past spring, but I refused to register for courses that would conceivably interfere with going to my local soccer pub to watch CL matches. Now I risk my job during the week and saturdays by watching live streams on my comp while at work! I let out a holler now and again and the sales staff knows whats up.

  Robbie sounds a bit like my situation.

  When the DVR has not allowed me to watch La Roma, the illegal hacks give me the joy i need to get through the day.

  And I can remember yelling when Vuci scored contro Madrid last year.

  And my boss said ” What happened”

  And I said “I hit my leg on the desk!”

  hahaha.. that’s hilarious.. I remember when Pizarro scored in the first leg.. I was on a conference call working from home. I almost flipped out.. Thankfully I didn’t.

  It’s a lab, so I couldn’t just skip it – mandatory attendance week in, week out. But ROMA is much more important haha.
