Here are the probable lineups... Juventus (4-4-2): Buffon; Thuram, Ferrara, Legrottaglie, Pessotto; Olivera, Emerson, Tacchinardi, Zambrotta; Trezeguet, Del Piero. Djurgården (4-3-3): Tourray; Concha, Kuivasto, Karlsson, Stenman; Arneng, Johansson, Johnnesson; Barsom, Makondele, Hysen. Ref: Fandel (Germany)
Djurgården will play 4-5-1 with Hysen (the son of Viola legend Glenn Hysen) alone upfront. Hysen is normally used on the left flank, Djurgården's only real striker was sold to a Dutch club yesterday. Hysen though is extremely quick.
Okay, what's the @%$^ trick!? BTW, how are you following the game, Dante. I'm starting to get worried that uefa.com is not going to have minute-by-minute since they don't even have lineups or a preview up yet.
I don't think UEFA.com are doing any text updates. They didn't do it for CSKA/Rangers earlier today either. I think Gazzetta will have minute by minute updates though. P.S. I think I know how Dante gets the special "a" to work in Djurgården
Okay, the starting lineup is: Buffon Thuram Legrottaglie Montero Blasi Tacchinardi Emerson Zambrotta Del Piero Miccoli Trezeguet Wow. 3 in the back although Zambrotta will probably drop back as needed.
Thanks. It's also at juventus.com. Raining in Turin. Swedes already won the first corner of the game.
The bench according to GdS 12 Chimenti 15 Birindelli 2 Ferrara 7 Pessotto 23 Kapo 25 Zalayeta 24 Olivera 5 Tudor
Juventus.com lists all but Kapo. Who knows which is accurate ... guess we'll only find out if he comes on. Hope he doesn't have to.
