Milan vs Urawa Red Diamonds

[fillipo]

thought the least we can do is open a thread for this game!

[Haroon]

They've just reported on the news that there is horror in the eyes of the Urawa Reds and their fans when Ronzilla made his way out of the team bus an hour ago!!! :d

Great news!! Girls were screaming for dear life and kids were screen crying! Their worst nightmare has arrived in all its physical enormity ready to devour their hopes, their ambition and themselves!!

This will be awesome. ^^

Forza Milan.

[fillipo]

[swissmilan]

Forza Milan!!!!

[Rosso]

FORZA MILAN! :flag:

I think it is time to let Ronzilla stand and wave to the crowd just to remind everybody that SIZE DOES MATTER. :d

We must score in the first half otherwise we start to get tense in the second half.

How many fags has Celotts smoken till now? :P

i'm watching star sports with sopcast, good quality, english commentary!

we've been looking good for about 15mins, but struggling a bit again. but urawa isnt any good attacking. we'll win this one.

[Filipez]

0-0 half time

Oddo n Gila arent too good, i think we need inzaghi, he will finish them off.

Pirlo, max, seedorf and kaka are playing good.

we didnt had too many chances, only seedorf had a nice one after kaka's brilliant run. Gilardino s combining not too good, but he's working hard. but we should bring in pippo!

we also had a nice freekick from pirlo and an header from max just over the bar at a corner.

+ we had 63% ball possesion

[Haroon]

It's HT now. 0-0.

I was just remembering the time when Milan used to be extremely dangerous in the second half in games. 2002-4 was such a time if I recall correctly.

I'm not seeing the game but it would be nice to score early in the second half.

I still think that a Ronzilla sighting is imperative and key to our hopes in this tournament being held in JAPAN where 'zilla freaks out every single soul. :P

[Yasser]

I'm watching this one.

We are awful, useless control and hardly creating clear chances, Oddo can't put a decent cross (Since he joined us he sux)..

We suck when playing against teams that defends (Just like facing smaller teams in Serie A), we only do well against bigger teams that attacks and we counter attack them.. And ppl say we play nice football? Our play is sh!t for few seasons now..

Kaka and Seedorf done nothing, same for Pirlo.. Oddo made like 7 crosses, only 1 reached our player and you don't even wanna see the remaining crosses.. Janku hardly attacked.. Ambro been the only player trying hard but it's hardly enough..

This was the match which we needed Ronaldo in more than Boca's match Imo, we need 2 strikers vs smaller teams..

[fillipo]

i won't sing untill the game is over, but good to hear that you have some confidence in our victory! (it would be a shame actually if we won't win this in regular time :d)

Hope to read some goals in the second half :D

[Yasser]

+ we had 63% ball possesion

That's our problem, we control the ball and do nothing! when we play counter attack we create and score, else NOTHING is done!

We play one of the most awful football in Europe.. And some members say Mourinho's team doesn't attack or score enough, as if ours does anything at all..

It's counter attack for the "Attacking" minded Milan!!!

[Leffe]

Seedorf should have passed to Gila and it would have been 1-0, and also bad header from Ambro, altough it could have gone in, come on guys, speed up and score goals.

FOOOOOORZA MILAN :flag:

First of all ... aren't you at work dude? :d

Secondly .... The Red Diamonds are playing 3-4-1-2 which is quite an attacking formation although the midfield is quite cluttered.

We need to push our fullbacks forward to cross in and then somebody can latch on to that ball and strike it on target!

I feel we maybe are not pushing our fullbacks forward. Obviously the crossing needs to be better. So far, it doesn't seem to be impressive.

Let's hope for a conclusive second half. I really really want us to win this trophy. It's been a l-o-n-g wait.

[Filipez]

we've been playing good for about 15 mins. but we created not too many chances. but i still think we'll win this one! but we need pippo

[Haroon]

Ronzilla Ronzilla Ronzilla Ronzilla Ronzilla!!!!!

I'm doing my part in contributing to our victory!! :d:P

Yasser is correct to a point. We are lethal on the counter attack but pretty impotent in build-up and crafting a goal. That art is lost in this team now. We only score when the opposition is caught out unawares!

But Mourinho / Lippi is for the Summer. Let's win this Cup now.

[Haroon]

Second half starts!!!

Gaylliani must be a little worried! Maybe a tear or two. Scared poofter.:d

[Haroon]

Yasser,
Who is wearing the captain's arm-band?

Gattuso or Ambro?

[Haroon]

Some good signs from Oddo cross ...

C'mon Rossoneri!! Turn the screws now.

[Filipez]

almost seedorf!

[Haroon]

The air has changed direction. There's a breeze coming in.

A goal is coming in the next 10 minutes .... Milan on song.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight!!

[Filipez]

dida :s


almost seedorf again! brilliant ball into the box, seedorf onside, controls on his chest but he puts the ball to the wrong side of the post! good chance

[Haroon]

Dodo .... you moron! As expected .... he is at it again! Does he oil his hands before a game or something? 8|

Anyway .. danger averted.


Pretty close by Seedorf. Time to whip it out again and let the stadium go Black in fear!! :d

Ronzilla waving his arms in Japan and Seedorf whipping it out .... winning recipe for the World Club Cup. :P

[Attila]

Seedorf what a miss !!!dammit !

[Haroon]

Change gears Rossoneri ... into overdrive. Increase momentum.

[Filipez]

theres pippo :)

[Haroon]

Chances are coming and going. Frustrating to say the least.

We better score now or it will become nervy.

[fillipo]

gila close! we need to score otherwise we'll put unnecessary pressure on ourselves

[Haroon]

Muller +1 is on the pitch.

[Attila]

Pippo for Gila , here comes the goal .. touch wood

[swissmilan]

Here it is! Seedorf!

[Filipez]

goal seedorf!!!!!!!!!!!!! kaka assisted

[fillipo]

seedorf scores??? yeah baby :D

[Yasser]

Gila, Seedorf missed clear chances.
Dida made a good save.
Oddo never put a decent cross!

Seedorf scores from a Kaka cross who ran quite well..

[Attila]

and the goal came SEEDORRF took me a while to recover from the shouting

[fillipo]

Milan break, long ball to Kaka now on the left and he slips it across to Seedorf who drills it low into the bottom right with his left foot for 1-0. Barely deserved.

how very positive eurosport is about our play :D

[Attila]

PIRLO what a chance

[Attila]

come on we are smashing these guys !! I know its not the greatest of sides , but this should have ended 3-0

[Haroon]

You see .... 'tis all good when Seedorf decides to whip out the Black Snake! :d

Now it's lights out for the Reds. One glimpse of Ronzilla will seal the deal now. Scare them. Make them cry!!! :d:d

[Haroon]

After this game King Seedorf needs to go to the local workshop and fine tune himself as he has shot thrice on the side netting now. :d

[Haroon]

We're into injury time now lads.

The final whistle and if all goes well ... we have a grudge rematch against Boca to settle the score of 2003.

[Haroon]

This is Milan's year of revenge.

First Pool and now we have Boca. How lucky can a side get with a chance to avenge two major defeats in ONE YEAR.

[Haroon]

FT --- Milan in the final.

We're coming for you BOCA ..... get ready this time.

[Filipez]

ft 1-0 :) lets get boca now

[Call Me 7 Cups]

if only we had a world class striker we'd have won 3-5-6 to 0
but we dont

shut it vespa legs! you should have prepared a japan 2007 option!!!!

[Yasser]

So true..

[castagnola21]

Milan totally outclassed Urawa. I thought their speed would cause us problems but Milan totally controlled the game. We do need new striker, aside from Pato, i would welcome Amauri with open arms. Hopefully Milan can continue to play like they did today. I've seen about 7 Boca games this year and they have never been that impressive, and are lucky to escape their semi-final game with a win. Lets see what happens on Sunday but I have a good feeling.

[GattusoKing]

Urawa were always going to run out of puff eventually after a high tempo 1st half. Credit to them, they acquitted themselves well I thought but as is always the case in David and Goliath contests, it's the lack of talent which proves costly.

The game exposed a few glaring inadequacies which have been costing us dear for an eon - the lack of a quality finisher; woeful use of the wings (Oddo's delivery was dire); a deathly slow build-up which even the worst of defences have time to counter.

The highlight of the game for me was both the enthusiasm of the locals, and Gattuso's contretemps with Dida after another trademark fumble.

[Filipez]

yeah what was that all about? was gattuso mad at dida? it wasnt all clear for me, my stream was bad at times

[Haroon]

Dodo is a gone case now. He has to be replaced in the Summer. It is simply moronic to trust in him. He will never be the keeper that he was. I just hope GreasePop doesn't make a costly mistake for us against Boca or the UCL.

I couldn't care less for the Serie A at this point.

[artan]

all but agree for dida case. i have the feeling that our managment's truned sights to Gomez.
i heard lately that Gomez is going to leave PSV as the january tranfer window opens.

[fillipo]

i heard lately that Gomez is going to leave PSV as the january tranfer window opens.

indeed gomez did had a fuss with psv management and was likely to leave the club, But he made up his mind after a charme offensive of the club and supporters and signed yesterday a new contract untill 2013. (however insiders say that the contract is full of escape clausules.)

i still strongly feel that gomez would be the perfect solution

[Filipez]

Frey would be my option, fantastic goalkeeper!
