Sal Zizzo got some minutes today (about 6). Anyone know how he did?
check this story out, Kris Boyd doesn’t want to play for Scotland while George Burley is the manager. I dunno if thats old or not but it sounds interesting to me. Makes Maradona’s situation sound not quite so bad. atleast he’s got control of his players.
Preston Zimmerman scored for his team in the Bundesliga. Austrian Bundeliga. Ad to yanks abroad. Also anyone else think Heather mitts is way to good for aj Feeley? Just throwin it out there.
Lyon in trouble, Juninho got a RC in the 26th with them already down to PSG on a Giuly goal.
Final, 1-0 Inter. Huge win, and viewers were only saved from yet another 0-0 tie by one of the most pathetic “playing the ref, not the ball” acts I’ve ever seen. Still, Inter was the better team all day, and deserved something from the first half.
I wonder when was the last time ALL of ManU, Chesea, Liverpool and Arsenal failed to score?
Epically lame effort by the June keeper. He didn’t even try for it while complaining for an offsides which wasn’t there at all. The Italians are whiners set will have a field day with that goal. But really, play the ball. You know, just in case.
Goal Inter
Zlatan finds Muntar who puts it in.
Villareal get pasted. Ives- with Villareal decently stocked and Ross + Llorente having good years at forward, you think Jozy goes on loan for the second half?
Inter-Juv 0-0 62nd
FIFA didn’t ban goals, right? Just checking.
Great game. Anyone who thinks Serie A is overly defensive is saying that because they don’t like the way Italy plays.
Inter have most of the ball and constantly are getting chances, but the magic hasn’t happened, can’t get it on target and with pace at the same time.
Juv is starting to create some counter attacks though. Wouldn’t shock me if they stole one before the half.
41st
Or rather, Juve is….
Kick tipped over for corner, which was then punched out. Inter is Under Siege like Seagal at the moment.
Sick move by Zlaten gives Inter a dangerous fk on left
Now that was a chance! Inter put a great long free kick on the back post, but Munter (LMF) can’t put it on frame.
Not enough juice on the cross for Adriano to get anything on the header.
Pretty good start, both teams have gone at the goal early.
20th minute- Adriano with a clear header from a good cross, but cannot hit it with any power, and it was an easy save for the Juve keeper.
I’m watching Inter and Juventus.
12th minute- Wonderful ball played over the top to Stankovic, but Molinaro caught him from behind and slowed him enough for Chinelli to strip the ball!
1. I have a feeling if Rennes keep this up, Bocanegra and the team will be playing Champions League football next season.
2. Dempsey just earned his right to start every game for the rest of the season. Perfect player. Should get another goal sooner or later.
3. Glad to hear MLS changed the rules so that different teams play in SuperLiga, it will do wonders for KC and Chicago in terms of cash and attendance.
That sucks that Altidore didn’t even make the bench for Villarreal. Are they doing this since he was so active Wednesday or because they intend to loan him out come January?
Arsenal out of the title race with AV in it. I am for sure supporting AV to finish 4th and grab the last CL spot. Good for AV to hold Man U to a scoreless draw and especially props to Agbonlahor, Young, Barry and the main man, Friedel. Any news about whether Guzan is getting loaned out?
Wow. None of the big 4 can find the goal on the same day.
One to file in the “At least they respect our keepers” dept: the Guardian MBM listed Villa starting “Superman” at keeper. That would be Friedel, thank you very much.
Altidore isn’t on the bench for Villareal.
93rd minute- United appeal for a penalty on an alleged handball in the box, but the replay clearly shows it went off Barry’s chest.
Full Time and the game ends 0-0.
93rd minute- Milner sends in a cross that goes just over the head of Abonglahor and just past another Villa player making a back post run!
90th minute- 3 minutes of extra time added.
87th minute- Milner gets free on the left and plays a dangerous ball on the ground! United manage to clear, but it was a great run and nearly a goal for Villa.
Ronaldo coming off…..ouch
Aston Villa have been alot better and you have to feel like referee calls are doing United a power of good.
Other good news: Rennes up 1-0 at half in their big showdown with Bordeaux, and Szetela went 75 mins in a Brescia win.
Bad news: Jozy not listed on the bench again, and all the ManU feeds on justintv just got pulled.
77th minute- Davies with the yellow card for a foul on Ronaldo. It was a foul, but a pretty weak yellow card, especially as the referee had handed none out before that.
whats with my comments dissapearing?
Ronaldo is down, what else is new. What is with Rooney waiting for a defensive mistake? Get back and get the ball,dude.
Clicking thru results, I am VERY relieved that Beasley saw action again, 69th min sub.
71st minute- Nani is coming in for Tevez. He hasn’t done much, and Man United needed to change something in their attack.
Nani on for Tevez
Holy crap, what’s in the water today in the EPL? ‘Pool, Arse, and Chelski all go goalless, and ManU is 23 mins from their own shutout. Strangeness afoot.
66th minute- Tevez played a backheel to Ronaldo, whose ensuing cross was headed out by the first defender for a corner kick. The corner was half cleared, but before United could begin their attack again the referee blows the whistle to tend to a couple of Villa players who are down.
This game is pretty even and very entertaining(United-Villa).Im liking that some players are forced to use areas of the game that they’re not used to.
65th minute- Carrick with a poor pass in the middle of the field gave Villa a chance to break, but the attack ended with a long shot by Barry that went wide with some room.
62nd minute- Carrick played a short lobbed pass (which he played on the volley) over the defense which Rooney ran onto, but blasted the shot well over the bar!! Rooney had a clear shot at goal, and should have done much, much better with it.
56th minute- Ashley Young earns a free kick from the left wing, but his cross was headed away without fuss. Man United countered and earned their own free kick which was played out for a throw.
58th minute- Agbonlahor and Vidic were shoulder to shoulder racing towards the penalty area, and Agbonlahor went down, but the referee said no penalty. The right call in my opinion.
60th minute- Don’t know what it was like in the 1st, but this half has gotten chippy and has been pretty exciting to watch.
Things gettin’ rough in United-Villa game.
53rd minute- Villa has come out well during the opening of the 2nd half.
Man U and Villa drawn at the half but im very glad to hear that Fulham and Liverpool drew.
Newcastle played well earlier to earn a 0-0 draw at Stanford Bridge. Chelsea had a goal waved off (correctly) for offsides, and clearly had the better of the chances but couldn’t score on Newcastle.
Manchester United and Aston Villa are 0-0 at the half. Unfortunately, I missed most of it.
Ives,
I know you are busy, but hoping to hear your take on the change in rosters for the MLS when you get a chance.
Thanks,
Dan
