I think at this point...give it up ppl.  Lippi clearly wants nothing to do with the guy.

Can you imagine the crap Lippi will have to deal with if Italy under-performs in the W/C.  One of the first questions Lippi will have to face will be in  reference to Cassanos absents on the squad.

I didn't watch the game, but from what I read Juve blew some good chances. The game was scoreless.  Milan on the other hand, were beaten at home 1-0 by FC Zurich.  So, this goes back to the question: how good are these Italian teams this year?

I love this goal!

ROMA VICTUS!

I just finished reading an interesting article from Football Italia.  AC Milan Vice-Prez Adriano Galliani  voiced his concern regarding the role of Italian teams in the Europa League.

He fears that Italian teams are not delivering the quality that Italian soccer teams are known for. 

“We need to play not just for ourselves in Europe but also for Italian football.'

“It is my intention to propose to the Lega Calcio that they make an economic contribution to those clubs who get points in the Europa League.

“It's useless to pretend nothing happened, putting your head in the sand like ostriches. This is a problem that has to be faced,” Galliani said.

I agree on this matter. I have to admit that I was not impressed with last season either.  I didn't see much difference in this seasons opening games.  I really hope we'll see some turnaround.

what do you think?
