    Why are you mad at Dunga? The article says that the injury was sustained during the Siena-Roma game.

    He is in Brazil with the national team doctors.

    He was INITITALLY hurt with Dunga.

    When you get hurt once in some place, it usually turns out to affect another part of your body you are overcompensating for.

    He came into Bordeaux not even 100%.

    All these injuries are just getting to be funny to me.

    Can’t even stay mad, just need to laugh about it.

    We fucking need Moratti oil money just to put a decent side on the field.

    Roma’s situation really resembles the situation of Turkish Team before playing Germany during Euro2008…

    Spaletti is not the problem. who else do any of you think would do better with the few fit players we have. hell if you think Carletto “Doughnuts” Ancellotti can fix our problems when he can’t even beat a bottom-feeding Cagliari with his best front line on the field.

    so Mexi and Old Man out on Red, Cassetti, Tonnetto, Pizarro, Perrotta, Totti, Baptista, Vucinic out on injury…

    we are left with just barely enough for a starting XI. again, you want to blame Spaletti? and you want to replace him with a man who, right now, couldn’t probably win anything more than an eating contest?

    Cici–Loria–Juan–Riise
    —-brighi–DeRossi—-
    Taddei–Aquilani–Menez
    ———Monty———-
    that’s not bad and i think we could actually win

    the only thing is this leaves only Virga, Okaka and some guy named Ribeiro as benchers. if we loose another defender we might have to play Pipolo in the back line.

    … and Bashar, Menez wasn’t diving, he was really getting knocked, especially in the last game – just that the ref wasn’t calling any of it.

    no daniele, even that won’t do, we need Divine intervention, or totti intervention and it still won’t be enough

    or………
    for those who are willing
    we can always try plan B

    We can hire a team of top snipers to take out Ibra before the game, and during the game they will take out adriano, MANCINI, and mourinho, that way we will even up the odds a little!

    oh btw fester, i LOVED what that turkish team did, they showed heart and it was unbelivable, how they came from 2 down in the 75′th minute against the czceh republic, and their clutch winner against croatia, and how they battled Germany, although they had losts of injuries and suspensions, and like fester said that is how they resemble us, Nihat was injured, their GOALKEEPER was suspended red card, and servent was also injured, heck their bench was all injured during that last game, but they fought, and the depressing thing is,they were idiots to lose that way in the end, a turkish player fell to the ground so the turkish team waited for the germans to shoot the ball outside, but apparently philip lahm didn’t see him and pressed on to score a goal, it was sad in a way, but their little adventure had ended, and frankly i don’t see thim repeating that in the WC.

    Plan C- lock Inter in they locker room :D
    Plan D- release a dog/sheep/wild boar on the pitch*
    Plan E- send aliens to abduct the referee. Has anyone got Tom Cruise’s mobile number?

    *it may be tricky as the animal can turn against our boys

    Wild boar might charge Adriano though, coz the two will resemble each other

    As for a wild boar, in my region there are many of those charming animals… Especially in towns surrounded by forests/ parks. You can sometimes even meet them :D

    My dad witnessed an awesome scene. It was in quite a big city, with a busy centre and a bit forested outskirts.
    The centre of the city. Noisy streets. Cars stuck in a traffic jam. People running to and fro.

    Then my dad notices a wild boar, strutting along the pavement majestically, oblivious to all the commotion. The boar, unconcernedly, crosses the street and disappeares in the crowd.

    Unluckily, he (my father, not the boar) didn’t have a camera with him…

    Well, if it makes anyone feel any better, most of our squad is out in international duty – Most of them could be injured this week.

    It happens.

    Fester, u are really funny mate. I didnt know such crazy shit happened in Poland, I believed such shit was restricted to places like India where they have cows on the streets munching away on anything they can find.
    Seriously though, we never should have let Barusso go on loan, he would make one hell of a centre back

    The bright side to all these injuries is more playing time for Menez, I doubt he’d be getting all this time were it not for the amazing amount of injuries and/or suspensions.

    So we got that going for us

    I dont want to get into this coach debate again. But honestly, it seems to suggest a somewhat irrational bias when people cannot acknowledge what a coach has acheived with a team. No honeymoon b/w coach-club is infinite at the top level.
    And I am actually talking about Ancelotti. So, he is not doing well right now. It may be just the end of his era at Milan, in case they dont do anything spectacular this year. But so what? Does that erase what he has acheived in the (recent) past? Any team would kill to have those 4-5 years of dominance. Ask Chelski, Manure, Real- who would not want to have been in their position? Yeah so Milan has money- so do several others (in fact, more so). But bottomline is that Ancelotti’s team did better.
    We cant illogically keep discounting coaches who do well with affluent teams- the analysis should be more nuanced-tactics, inspiration, quality of opponents- everything.
    We cannot make an untestable hypothesis of good a coach which goes like this:
    Poor club: He could not achieve more because they cannot spend.
    Richer club: He only succeeded because they could spend.

    Based on that good coaches are only those who exceed expectations with an underdog team. As soon as the expectations are high, we say “the team cannot go further because the club has no money, small squad etc.”
    I am quite tired of this, because Roma’s mentality has been questionable even with almost fully fit squad.
    I would love to be proven wrong some time soon.

    I really don’t get the point of injured players going to national duty to get checked, to go back home. I guess that’s to prevent clubs from declaring players injured to prevent them from going to national duty, but did Baptista/Buffon/Camoranesi really have to make that trip just to go home?

    I dont think it is such a big deal.

    Players at the Baptista/Buffon/Camoranesi’s level are used to it. They know the drill. Besides, this way no one can claim that clubs are holding back key players from international duty.
