Boca winnning 1-0! I hope we win, we're doing absolutely disastrous in the league

 

 

I've always liked Boca, because of the colors, I absolutely love them. And yeah, of course because you won the Intercontinental Cup against Milan in the 2003

Did you win it against the Juve back in the 1973? I cannot remember who defetead us.

Thanks. Nope, our Intercontinentals were in 1977, 2000, and as you said 2003. Shame we couldn't defeat Milan again in 2007

I think the Intercontinental you lost in 73 was against Independiente (it was the team that won most of the cups at that time)

 

 

 

You're right, Independiente. We took part in only three Intercontinental cups: against Independiente, River and Argentinos Juniors. Such a shame we never met each other. I guess there is always the next year!

I'm still thankful for that one

I'm thankful for the 2003 one. Now it's time for us to get both to the final, absolutely. Anyway, I'd like to ask you about Argentinos Juniors: I mean, I'm not a big Argentinian football thread, but they're not a top team anymore, are they?

The match against the Man U was the only one really good.
At the Old Trafford they did an awful match and they won only because of Kaka.
The Bayern they defeated was the worst in the last ten (Probably even more, much more) years. Before them, the Celtic, and they managed to struggle even against them (I like Celtic, but...you got what I mean?). In the final, an incredibly good Liverpool defeated. But I don't count it since I still can recall what happened in Athen!

Anyway, I'm not very hyped for the match now: I'm just waiting for the Hammer to Fall, as the Queen sang.
And it's not that good.

 

u hate milan lol

 

 

Yep, I do.

Tonight I couldn't even watch the match. Every single time I kept shouting "Holy heck referee, stop being the 12th for the Milan, ok?" and something much worse than that I cannot repeat here.

I do not even know where it began: I guess it was after the 2007 Champions, because of what I said before.

 

The match wasn't very nice, Ranieri was glad to equalize (That's why he can kindly f..k off next year) and didn't even try Giovinco. Amauri got a bad injury and isn't himself anymore, while Iaquinta keeps being amazing. A very good player, next year he's gonna have a lot of time to play because he deserves it. The season needs to stop as soon as possible. We didn't even play badly, but we just cannot win anymore. Poulsen and Amauri missed two incredible goals. And Seedorf scored after that Ambrosini had missed the ball, incredible, when I saw it, I was speechless.

Poor little Barca, they didn't win because of a last minute goal. Well, after what happened against the Chelsea...

 

I think Ranieri is awesome , Juve played nicely agaist Chelsea and Real Madrid and those are big teams u know.

u can't blame him a lot , he doesn't have many players to choose from.

Juve needs at least 5 new players to be able to compete with Inter next season.

Diego , Cassano , 2 new defenders -other than canavaro because he is coming for free i heard- and a striker.

get rid of Trezguet and Nedved.

getting Cassano and Pazzini from sampadoria would be EPIC!!! (most names spelled wrong i know)



Nope. They had a successful batch of players in the 80s, but they keep being relegated/promoted in the 90s and 00s. Now they're a mid-table team, they had some good seasons and finished 5th or so and reached semifinals of the equivalent of the UEFA Cup in South America, and this season they're close to last place




Ranieri did a lot of wrong choices: he wasn't very bad, but when you are a Juventus coach you have alwayt to try to win. You cannot be happy not to lose.That's his biggest problem. We had a lot of awesome games, but he has to go now. The team isn't with him either. Trezeguet and Camoranesi are going away too, along with Nedved. We will not buy Cassano according to me and I hate Pazzini: he's having a good season in Genova but he ain't very good. I'dbuy Floccari, Eboue for free, Evans for free too and a midfielder. Xabi Alonso, of course, if I had to choose. Thinking of Diego, of course, as already bought.

 

PS=Thanks Zezen!

Now I'm off to bed, goodnight everybody. See ya tomorrow.
