I think perhaps that an hour of listening nonstop to Max Bretos will do for you, Zeddie. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well, I always say this: Messi plays for Barca and in La Liga. a whole different story! I consider Serie A to be tougher for attackers than La Liga. besides we saw how Messi fared in the World Cup when he faced some serious defending. not taking anything away from the kid as he's one of the best (after the World Cup, I just can't think of him as the absolute best anymore) players in the world.

I'm with you brother. He's the most overrated thing since fruitcakes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Give me a call when he scores 4-0 against a tactically solid and defensively solid side. Until then he can keep banging in these bundles of goals against charity teams.

As for Ronaldo, IMO he's prolly the greatest striker to ever play the game. nuff said

Thank you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Pardon me, but I always get sentimental when it comes to the Fabulous Five (Maldini, Ronaldo, Baggio, Rui Costa, and Dida).

Messi is the most overated player on earth. Does it in the sieve like defences of La Liga, supported by the brilliance of Iniesta and Xavi, but struggles even in the CL and for my money has only lived up to his reputation once and that was his decimation of a weak Arsenal defence.

At the world cup we saw how 'good' he truly is. He's great, world class, but absolutely nothing more and I wouldn't have him in my top 5 players on earth.

Count me in your camp, mate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) He's good, he's great, okay even world class, but ever since people (and Goal.com in particular) started rating him the best of all time, I've almost started dreading the guys name. I seriously hope he gets to play in EPL or the German and Italian league, and then we'll see the true worth of this guy. He was marked out of the game by Cambiasso in the CL this year, and hopelessly at that. Like totally.

I'll put him in my dream team, though. As a sub.

Yeh i really like him made really good comments,i didn't know it was him till later on.

Well he was a color character, I'll give him that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) This is turning out to be a great season already, ha!

Make that Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, please. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) With lights turned off.

LOL i love how after when he praises an Italian player like Pippo or Gattuso he goes "yeh i played with him" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)

I'm sorry, but the new Serie A logo is way too reminiscent of Quizno's.

Hm, didn't know Max Bretos left FSC. The one guy I liked over there was Christian Miles. Is he still with them?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Yup, true. And considering this was his first day at the job, I wonder what's in store for us for the remaining 37 matches. And the other guy kept asking him how he would have liked to have played alongside Ronaldinho and Ibra. LOL.

There is a striking resemblence, I agree. But it's an improvement nonetheless than the plain blue one that was the old Serie A logo. And besides it's looks good on TV in 3D. I don't know but I like the La Liga logo the best, it's got everything going for it.

Hm, didn't know Max Bretos left FSC. The one guy I liked over there was Christian Miles. Is he still with them?

Yeah, he left and joined ESPN (are they this stupid?). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Miles is one of the good (and old) ones, and he was still there up till the 2009 season, don't know his current status, though. I dread watching FSC, not just for their crappy coverage, but oodles and oodles of repeat (and cheap) ads.

Allegri: 'Ibra brought enthusiasm'

Massimiliano Allegri gives Zlatan Ibrahimovic's arrival some of the credit for Milan's triumph. “He brought enthusiasm.”

Ibra was in the stands and saluted San Siro at half-time in the centre-circle during the 4-0 victory over Lecce.

“Ibrahimovic brought enthusiasm to the environment. Tonight the team was fired up, ready to put in a good performance and celebrate the win,” said the Coach.

“It was important to start well, because a newly-promoted side could've caused us some problems.

“I think we had a good game. We are still not 100 per cent, which is normal at this stage of the season, but the team played well and passed the ball around nicely.

“After the break we made a few too many mistakes, but that was understandable because before we had worked very hard.”

Ah, I was initially thinking of the Lega Calcio logo with the red and green in it. That's a heck of a difference between the Serie A logo and the old one.

Nobody cornered the market on scam advertising like FSC. That's what I DON'T miss about not having access to the channel anymore.

Wow, what a great game tonight! Didn't have so much fun since a while. There isn't much to say really, the squad was absolutely brilliant in every aspect, despite the lightweight opponent. Big thumbs up to Thiago, Pirlo, Dinho and Pato, they were phenomenal.

FORZA MILAN!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)

Yup, the old looked it was plugged straight from the 1990s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) This is the one I'm talking about, the new and the old. The new one looks pure Italian bred, and I can stick with this one. Hopefully they can improve their cameras next, so they get closer to the EPL broadcast quality. The logos:

Agreed. Some of their ads were plain dreadful, like they were shot on a $1,000 budget. And some were plain annoying. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) Most were loud and in your face. As if their commentary and coverage wasn't bad enough, with mixed up names and whatnot. Max Burrito (I know wrong spelling) even went as far to say Alessandro Costacurta was Paolo Maldini!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) On live TV. Blasphemy, if you ask me, and that too from someone who is getting paid to comment on Serie A matches. Thanks God it's out of my life.

Here are datasport's player ratings: link

Abbiati 6.5 Inoperoso nel corso del primo tempo, si rende protagonista nel finale di una bella deviazione in angolo su una conclusione di Chevanton.
Amelia s.v. -
Antonini 6.5 Si fa apprezzare con alcune iniziative lungo la fascia sinistra.
Papastathopoulos s.v. -
Bonera 6 Poco sollecitato dagli esterni giallorossi non sembra commettere errori di rilievo. Nella ripresa propone un cross basso interessante per Inzaghi.
Thiago Silva 7.5 Attento in fase difensiva, impegna severamente Rosati con una gran conclusione da fuori area al 12' e realizza con un tocchio in mischia la rete del provvisorio 2-0 al 28'.
Nesta 6 Sbroglia senza particolari problemi le rare iniziative avversarie.
Pirlo 7 Distribuisce con precisione il gioco sugli esterni. Serve un paio di invitanti palloni alle punte.
Seedorf 5.5 Cresce con il passare dei minuti ma non riesce ad incidere come nelle sue possibilita': fallisce una favorevole opportunità da rete in chiusura di prima frazione.
Gattuso 6.5 Entra subito in partita. Cerca la via della rete, serve un ottimo pallone ad Inzaghi e partecipa attivamente alla quarta rete rossonera producendosi in una bella iniziativa personale lungo l'out di destra.
Ambrosini 6.5 Si batte con determinazione in mezzo al campo. Partecipa alla prima realizzazione di Pato con una precisa apertura sulla destra.
Abate s.v. -
Boateng s.v. Fa il suo ingresso nel finale di gara per Pato. Ingiudicabile.
Pato 7.5 il suo movimento crea non pochi scompensi nella difesa ospite. Sigla con freddezza una doppietta. Un solo neo: in alcune circostanze pecca di egoismo.
Oduamadi s.v. -
Ronaldinho 7 Soprattutto nella prima frazione garatisce qualità alla manovra rossonera con giocate in velocita' e splendidi palloni serviti in verticale.
Borriello 5.5 Si rende pericoloso solo qualche istante prima di lasciare il campo: gli viene annullata una rete per fuorigioco.
Inzaghi 7 Molto vivace. Appena entrato colpisce il palo esibendosi in un tentativo di pallonetto ai danni di Rosati. Va di nuovo vicino al bersaglio al 78' con una girata a lato di prima intenzione. A sei minuti dal termine non sfrutta al meglio un invito di Gattuso ma si riscatta al 90' realizzando di prepotenza la rete del definitivo 4-0.
Allegri 7 Non ci poteva essere esordio migliore sulla panchina rossonera per l'ex tecnico del Cagliari.

The worst thing about the commentary tonight was that commentator who keeps on calling him Rolandinho.

Does it every match he is on.
