Will there be a stream or soemthing?

[Aranycsapat]

It's an exclusive of a Berlusconian pay tv, so I don't think there will be streams...if it could interest you Gazzetta dello Sport website is reporting that the match, at halftime, is 1-0 for Milan, Inzaghi scored.

Maybe they will write a sort of "live-article" about the match:

It was nice too see Ronaldinho taking on defenders, which is something he rarely did last year. Although, it was Varese so if he can beat 4th division Italian defenders he has no hope against Serie A defenders.

Dinho looked good but lets see him against a real team.

Its not a bad start though.

And on a side note, has there ever been a pre-season when Pippo does not score. Actually I really think he is always the first player to score in a Milan pre-season.

[AmericanKaka]

What's great about Pippo is that he is absolutely dedicated to scoring goals in any and all circumstances. If he played with US teenagers, like Zidane did recently, he would be just as focused on scoring goals and would celebrate wildly just like a World Cup final. Pippo must be the most mentally focused and single-minded player of all time.

Marco Borriello Tells AC Milan Boss Leonardo He's A Centre Forward

"My position on the field? Leonardo knows I am a centre-forward!"

However, the Rossoneri coach has already responded to Borriello's statement.

"The objections of Borriello playing on the right? When we are using three attackers, everyone must play a certain way. Borriello should also remember he's a centre-forward, he was playing too deep," explained the Brazilian tactician.
