PBP: Roma v Inter, Coppa Italia; Bradley inlclusivo!

Thank you BeIn ñ!

Hmmmmm... Let's seed if Bradley and De Rossi can figure out how to play together this time.

 

Yankee Cambiasso vs original Cambiasso.

 

Just kicked off. Bradley 1/1 passing so far

 

Roma so close there. Keeper does a great job to get a finger to the pass.

 

Here we go . . . pregame warm-up



Damn, that coach is a short mofo . .

 

I thought somebody shrank Michael...

 

Great goal from Inter from a one-touch sequence. 1-0

 

Inter goal, nice INTERplay, but pretty poor marking by DeRossi: He lets his midfielder run a bit loose, CB gets pulled out, then he's slow to pick up the next runner getting into the box who's able to finish far post past DeRossi's sliding challenge.

 

That goal was a thing of beauty.

 

That was an odd advantage. Ref calls advantage on Lamela outside the Inter box, he stumbles his way through another challenge and the ball ricochets for a corner. The ref points for the corner, but that's hardly an advantage over the initial FK placement.

 

Wow. Roma misses a great opportunity off a corner. Bradley has had some really nice passes thus far.

 

Passing in the final third has been abysmal for Roma.

 

Wow, great opportunity for Florenzi but he hits it too close to the keeper. De Rossi winds up for a long shot but slides it into the box (to Destro?), the ball is one time'd to Florenzi who has the whole goal to aim at from about 10 yards center.... hits it too close to the keeper's right.

 

Beautiful buildup leads to a great opportunity for Florenzi, but the keeper makes an amazing reaction save. Should have scored there. HT. 1-0 bad guys.

 

What was the score from the first leg and also do away goals count?

 

It was 2-1 Roma. Away goals count. As it stands, Inter would advance.

 

Totti with a nice shot about a yard wide. Bradley still on. And I'm off to pick up my son from preschool. Thank you dvr...

 

Roma tie the match up and go ahead in the tie with a well deserved goal from Destro.

He just barely beat the keeper to a through ball and poked it past him.

 

Roma up 2-1 now.

Edit: It's Destro again!

 

Pretty! Roma passes the ball into the back of the net

 

And Roma opens up that lead with a well worked goal that Destro finishes with a tap in.

This just got very difficult for Inter.

 

Wow, what a nonchalant goal. Bradley has been playing well since I tuned in at halftime.

 

Terrific counter attack by Roma. De Rossi charges at the backline, then seemingly looks to slow things down. Second wave of runners beat the offsides and cross for an easy tap-in. Really nice change of pace.

2-1 Roma, 4-2 Roma on aggregate.

 

Oh my!
