Even better: france falls to sixth. bwahaha

To me this is just more evidence that little Andrea Pirlo is the most important player in football today.

Well Chris I guess they could show all the action up to Pirlo’s cross, then turn off the TV and say “oh yeah and that guy then scores, any questions?”.

I know you hate Pippo but unlike Gila he ain’t shooting blanks. :)

hey chris if milan could produce another two pippo’s by making kids watch tapes of him i’d be more than happy to watch the win everything for milan and italy. He is fantastic, Pele said he wished inzaghi could ave played in Brazil.

Id like to point out that the goal came from an un marked opponent on the far post again!!! this is a defensive error but im sure Dida will have to take the slack for it

I’d just like to say Pippo owns the entire Roma squad.

And now, Pirlo is basically the back-bone of the Italian squad, since everyone else feels like sucking… And as for Milan, it’s nice to see them actually get a comfortable win, instead of a 1-1 tie with Siena -_-

And I feel left out without a CL fantasy team =P I’m too busy with my Serie A team =D

Chris and Marco, I got off to a great start in the fantasy league. I’m top of our little league and I still have 8 players who haven’t played. It also helped that I made Pirlo captain, anyway, yay me!!!

Quit bitching Marco, I started Artur Boruc instead of Petr Cech by mistake.

And the last thing anyone should do is show tapes of games including Pippo Inzaghi to young kids learning the game. The games would have 9,000 offside calls, the joy would be effectively wiped out of the game and calcio as we know it would fall off the face of the earth.

Very enjoyable game, on both ends. The only thing that fu**ed it up for me was Benfica's late goal in 92', which effectively denied my team the clean sheet in the CL fantasy league (I have Dida and Nesta... grrrrrrr) By the way, Milan's 2nd goal was a textbook example on how to set up a counterattack. They should show the tape to young kids in soccer schools.

Jamie, Pirlo’s been awesome in every game he’s played this season — for Milan and Italy — even when those around him have stunk it up. He’s incredible.

Bob, I’m a proud owner of a pink Rui Costa jersey. You take that back.

Milan were impressive. Pink uniforms…not so much
