Comments on: It’s Coppa Time Again, Or: See Ya, Tiago http://italy.theoffside.com/results/its-coppa-time-again-or-see-ya-tiago.html News from the Italian Serie A Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:14:51 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Marco http://italy.theoffside.com/results/its-coppa-time-again-or-see-ya-tiago.html#comment-34034 Marco Wed, 16 Jan 2008 22:06:52 +0000 http://italy.theoffside.com/results/its-coppa-time-again-or-see-ya-tiago.html#comment-34034 Prognosis for Chiellini's injury is 40 days of recovery. That's lucky considering a ligament tear isn't a big stretch from a twisted knee. Now the big guess for Juve, given that they loaned out Domenico Criscito, is who to pick as the central defense partner of Nicola Legrottaglie. Odds point to Zdenek Grygera, who despite his very average performances so far, is still far better than Jean-Alain "Calamity" Boumsong. God, and to think that Didier Deschamps had almost made him into a Serie A player... Prognosis for Chiellini’s injury is 40 days of recovery.

How was Cacia? I see he got about 25 minutes. And Kuzmanovic has so much ability, any time he gets no matter the competition is a good thing.

Two good goals from Pazzini, although the second was great. Balzaretti was good, as was Kuzmanovic, and so was young defender Mazuch. Semioli was just terrible. Daniele Cacia made his debut. FT 2-0.

Semioli was just terrible.

Daniele Cacia made his debut.

Why can't he do that in Serie A? Away goals count, and just as I post this Pazzini scored a beautiful second goal. Why can’t he do that in Serie A?

Anyone? Ursus? (Francesco, I just read a quote from Liverani about Bobo always teaching the kids things in training. Maybe Semioli is too old to be in his class.)
