QUOTE (Tennie @ Dec 16 2008, 04:21 AM) Kaka is not likely to play this one according to the latest scuttlebut in Italy. he may be available for the Udinese game.
Wolfsburg are a good enough side in the Bundesliga but they lost at the weekend too; they're a bit up and down. Not a whole lot of players there likely to be familiar to folks who don't watch the Bundesliga, but former Palermo (and Azzurri) players Christian Zaccardo and Andrea Barzagli play for Wolfsburg. Great so we'll actually have a chance of scoring...

QUOTE (MizNelson @ Dec 15 2008, 11:13 PM) I know you're our Translator Supremeâ„¢, but now I'll play exchange rate with you as well: How much is two Euros in U.S. dollars? 2 euros is (if you're using a really conservative exchange rate) about $3. That's...not much at all. It's a good bit less than the cheapest seats at the San Siro usually are (somewhere around 12-15 euros, I think).

Funny how just a year ago we all glowed after speaking the name Barzagli out.

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) No news on projected lineups for this one yet. We're for sure going through to the next round. If we win the game, we're top of our group and avoid having to face one of the teams that crashed out of the CL in the next round. If we don't win, we get one of the CL-dropouts. I could see a case being made for starting a strong team so we can finish first; I could also see a case made for giving the kids (for once at least!) a chance. It's not like they could do too terribly much worse than the grownups.

QUOTE (Zed.D @ Dec 16 2008, 04:03 PM) He may not be world class but I would have picked him ahead of Kaladze, Senderos and Favalli any day of the week [I don't have anything against any of these players I named. problem is that they either make zillions of mistakes, or are too old and slow to keep up with fast strikers, or don't have the coach's faith].
Whenever I watched Barzagli play for Palermo, he was solid. well, I guess tomorrow we will see if he's that bad. Don't worrry we'll be able to make him look good (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Hopefully we'll see a different Milan tomorrow, one that after the loss against Juve is ready to start fighting for wins instead of expecting them to come on their own. I don't care if it's UEFA Cup and that we're qualified, we need to start thinking that every game is a must win, not the ones we pick and choose. This imo, is one of the reasons we lose against easy teams

I agree, he is better then Kaladze, and maybe more balanced then Senderos. But certainly not better then Favalli. I'm very curious where, how and how often Barzagli will play when he reaches Favalli's age. Favalli is a versible defender who made solid appearences all career long, became Lazio captain, showed many skills and the possibility of playing LB, CB and even RB.
