    Good game by Juve, too bad Roma were hacking half the time.

    Totti really is a little bitch, too much diving and whining. It was nice to see him get that yellow for his blatant acting.

    6 points ahead of Inter and 9 ahead of Milan. We need to win two more games to rule out Milan and 3 games to rule out Inter, providing they win their games as well.

    No mention of the penalty?

    It was a penalty... why mention it. Sure Nedved embellished it, but it was still a penalty. There was contact made and it was definitely enough to bring Nedved down.

    How come people aren't complaining when Pelizolli handled the ball after an obvious pass back.

    That was one of the sappiest penalty calls in the history of soccer. First, they didn't even call it on the guy who Nedved slightly brushed up against. Second, the guy who did make contact hardly touched him.

    And this isn't sour grapes from a Roma fan. Roma isn't goin' anywhere this season.

    It was just a PATHETIC call. If I'm Inter (or Milan - who now appears all but finished after yesterday's result), I'm really pissed.

    hehe, saw the game on the i-channel. the 2nd goal by Del Piero was awesome, the cross was beautiful done. juventus should have won 2-0, but the defender gave it away to roma. what he did was tried to do a short pass to the winger, but it was too short and thurham(?) was already up there. roma got the possesion, passed inside, easy goal. Buffon almost had it, if his hands were positioned a little lower he would have saved it. on a side not the referee didn't call the hand ball by the keeper, but was card happy during the game.

    I see that people still don't mention the handball by Pelizolli when it was passed back. That was a pathetic non-call.
