Yup, yup. Great game overall, although the ref was a bit card happy. Milan took the game to Juve from the get go and thats how the game went until the second half where Milan absorbed a lot of pressure. Best part was when Nedved got punched, elbowed, and headbutted in the head. Reminded me of the Nedved of old, always on the ground.
Yes, it was quite a classy display by Milan's thugs - Gattuso, Simic, et al. I thought you Milan fans were priding yourself on what a beautiful attacking game your team was playing this year. We see how long that lasted - just until desperation set in and a result was essential to save all hope.
Not sure that the game was great other than the final scoreline in the eyes of a Milan supporter. Sure I am a Juve fan but that was not a great game by any accounts. I seriously doubt Mr Offside was in a pasive position on the first goal. As for belting out a result.. Milan got the points... So I suppose we gotta bite our tongues... But a great game? I am still laughing my ass off here at that comment.
sour grapes my ... I was dissapointed at the pityful display of tactics Anceloti used in the second half, although I recognize what a beautiful goal by Melenas Inzaghi!
