  1. Its being broadcast in 16:9 HD from FSC, but your cable provider does not have it in HD, that’s why you lose the ball to either side of the screen.

  2. he’s such a warrior he whines like a little woman whenever he’s touched, pouts like a child when caught.

    yes, he’s been a part of winning sides, but the game has passed him by and he’s too soft mentally to control himself.

    also, Jordan would destroy him.

  3. Gattuso is a disgrace, and he has been for years. He’s emblematic of typical Italian win-at-all costs dirty “soccer.” When being outplayed, they turn the game into a scrap and sometimes even a farce, resorting to chippy or even ugly fouls, dives/flopping, and general unsportsmanlike behavior. Oh, the Mexicans are good at these antics too.

  6. Woooowwww…He picked a fight with Joe Jordan?! Funny because JJ played for AC Milan in the early 80’s. Gattuso looks like an a$$. I’m glad, he’s a prick.

  7. He is the only Milan guy with any fire…My, how this team has gone downhill quickly. They look uber slow out there. Seedorf needs to get out while he can. Come to The States, Clarence!

  8. Not a chance. Spurs foul the least in the Premiership (IIRC in 2009) and are still a fair team with very few fouls committed–and VERY few, if any, that have lead to an opposing player getting seriously injured.

    You must just not like Spurs–and that’s fine. But if you’re watching the match you’ll see that there EASILY could have been reds for both Flamini and Gattuso alike.

  9. Yes, that’s the tune. yes, it’s When the Spurs go Marching in. I have several friends at the match and they are in full voice and say it is a rather ‘festive’ atmosphere.

  10. did u watch that game becks? His entire display was frustration spewing into actions that deserve suspension. It’s ok if a challenge doesnt go your way and youre frustrated, but he took it to another level for 30 plus minutes.

    U can say that it’s “passion” or his competitive fire, but those actions were disgraceful any way you look at it.It’s called having class, he has none.

  11. Even the Zidane butt was comical. Watch the replay…Big acting job by Materazzi. Gatusso was disgraceful though…He is not the player he once was and is mad about it.

  12. that headbutt looked like it hurt im not gunna lie, props to the asst. coach though for not hitting him back, he should’ve beat the shi. outa him

    Gatusso is getting suspended, theres no way u don’t get suspended for that headbutt after the game on a coach.

    That coach looks like he could kill gatusso if they were to fight lol, that guy looks like he eats bullets

  13. You must be brainwashed by the limey bastard Brit announcers, who are so unbearably biased, and utterly incorrect at worst, its impossible to listen to. Spurs are a bunch of gangly elbow-throwing cheap hacks. Typical of the British game.

  14. The soccer headbutt (not including Zidane’s) is so comical it’s hard to take serious. They are trying so hard to restrain themselves, but somehow think no one will notice if while their heads are a millimeter apart, one of them knocks into the other.

  15. The Tottenham assistant may have spat on him from the look of it. It was one of those, I’m yelling and it came out in your face unintentional yet intentional spits. You know the like. It happens all the time when baseball managers yell at the umpires.
