CV = curriculum vitae. It's latin for 'resume'.

Also is that correct under the uefa super cup runner up years (1973, 1993)? Since we were UCWC in 1973 and CL runners-up in 1992-93.

Nonsense .. Dida is #1  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Yeah, that goal was his mistake ... But, even though he does have those one-offs, he is pretty steady at goal most of the time.

I mean, if we are to criticize Dida for letting in a stupid goal as that one, we might as well scream at Inzaghi when he is caught offside ... Why don't we ? Because a goal keepers mistake costs us a goal for each mistake ... And considering the way Milan have been playing in the past 4 years with Dida, Milan have done great IMO (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

In the end, Dida is one of my favorite players !! So, I don't mind if he concedes a goal like that, just as long as the team wins the game in the end ... Cuz on the nights that actually counts, Dida out performs himself every time (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

Anyways, back to the game, I have to say Inzaghi's blunt diving got on my nerves a little bit. Gila and him are having a little competition of their own I guess. They both need to stop. Milan don't need that kind of thing.

Really what player doesn't dive these days?  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Pippo has been doing it for years and most of the time he does it pretty well, I've got to say he's a professional at it.

It irritates me more when I see Gila do it these days, since up to his first season with us he never used to dive.

Some remembers the Zaccheroni days? Milan started in the season with their new GK, Dida infront of Abbiati. He was doing great just till the CL match against Leeds Utd. when he made a stupid error that in the end would cost us points.

Sheva didn't dive... He was such an honest player... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Here's a translation I've done of one of the articles in today's Gazzetta. It's a rough translation and not really edited much for style, but I think it conveys the original reasonably well. (For those who have access to the print editions, the article is on page 2).

When Having a Party Becomes Difficult

At the top of Europe and the world, the night wasn't one for a party. Milan won ints 17th trophy: only the Argentines of Boca Juniors have won as many. At Tokyo in December at the World Club Cup, it will be decided who is the better. It was Inzaghi, Jankulovski and Kaka who continued a history begun in 1963 at Wembley when the names were Jose Altafini, Gianni Rivera and Cesare Maldini. The eras interlace and overlap, like the emotions this night in Monte Carlo, where football is played, but where the thoughts were always of Antionio Puerta, who destiny took away last Tuesday. The night began with the players in tears, arm in arm, at the center of the pitch before referee Plautz whistled the start of the game.

FAIR PLAY (original in english)
The players run and fight, cards are also earned (Gattuso's was the first), but it's a climate of fair play that respects that which is felt inside. The minute of silence is a minute of real silence: no cheers, no applause. Only when it's over is there a cheer from the Seville supporters: 'We want you, Antonio'. And the pain which never quite leaves a person needs to be released if one doesn't want to suffocate. The Seville supporters area is festooned with banners: 'Puerta presente' is the largest of them. All the players have Puerta's name on their jerseys under their numbers. This was decided by the Seville players as well as the Milan players: together, united, in accord on homage to a boy who was already a champion and who everyone wanted to imagine already running down the left flank.

FRIENDSHIP
During the halftime break with Seville leading 1-0, three ultras from the Milan curva emerged with a banner. They spoke with the UEFA delegate for permission and then approached the Seville stands where they unrolled the banner with their own words of sympathy: 'Onore a Puerta' (honor to Puerta). Standing ovation from the entire stadium, with even UEFA president Michel Platini approving and watching the scene with hope: for once there are no incidents, no provocations. The Seville fans chanted 'Milan, Milan' along with Puerta's name. The grand scene in the Louis II Stadium included a girl in tears, consoled by her fiance: the football game could distract for 90 minutes, but life is another thing and it's good to never forget that.

EMOTIONS
After are the goals of the Milanisti, the celebrations, and the victory. All is governed by a sobriety: no excesses, no hysteria. And when Ancelotti recalled him to the bench, Clarence Seedorf took off his jersey and pointed to the name of Puerta on the back. This was his cup, the Supercup of Antonio. That it's the 17th trophy in Milan's trophy case, in the face of such emotion, becomes a secondary fact.

I think kaka' is a better example. He didn't even look for the penalty against bayern last season, he was heading straight to take the corner.

Sheva pretty much plays honestly, although the penalty he got in the world cup was a dive.
