By the way I saw Sevilla in their match against Getafe. I think we might have just enough quality to beat them if we play our usual 'bella Milan calcio'.
I'm going to have to stay off here when the game is on due to my neutralism(If that's a word), I don't want to start any arguements or anything.
Milan are a better side, but Navas is going to slaughter Janku or whoever plays at left back, no question. Seedorf is going to have to really help out his defender in this game.
I still predict a Milan win. 3-2.

Kaka: Now Let's Think About Sevilla
The Brazilian midfielder proved that he's already reached a very good physical condition in this early part of the season.
Milan kicked-off their new season with an important and impressive 3-0 win away to Genoa at the Marassi stadium, with Ricky Kaka being the man of the match with two goals and a lot of good movements.
"I'm in form," admitted the Brazilian star, "But now let's thinking about Sevilla."
The Rossoneri will be facing the Spanish side, which won for the second consecutive year the Uefa Cup trophy, on Friday at Monaco in a game which Milan want to win to increase the number of silverware.
"We're in form right now, just like Sevilla, who won yesterday. I'm fine too, but I must still improve in the sprint."
With regards to yesterday's match, Kaka hopes that everything will go back to normal between the Genoa and Milan fans, and that in future there will not be the need to restrict the entrance to one set of fans.
"I hope that our fans can make peace with the Genoa ones," concluded Kaka.

Milan Already Gearing Up For Supercup Final
The Rossoneri are rounding up their players for the upcoming Supercup final against Sevilla in Montecarlo, with only Maldini and Ronaldo unavailable through injury.
Without even having the time to fully celebrate the convincing opening Serie A win at Genoa (3-0), Milan already have to start preparing for the match in Montecarlo against Sevilla on Friday night, which will assign the European Supercup, the first major objective for the Via Turati club.
Massimo Ambrosini will be a part of the game, as the results of today's x-ray exams were satisfactory. It's probable that new purchase Emerson will also be called up, considering that he took part in today's 7-a-side match. It's a different matter for Ronaldo, who seems to be on his way toward a full recovery, but he was still training on his own today along with an athletic preparator.
Captain Paolo Maldini is not fit yet and will certainly not be called up, but for the rest coach Carlo Ancelotti has a full squad available for this mouth-watering clash between the European champions and the Uefa Cup winners. The Rossoneri and Sevilla both made winning starts to the new league season, as Sevilla also got a big win, defeating Getafe 4-1 at home last weekend.

The magnetic scan gave positive results, after Ambro had already felt good this morning. Today Ambro will probably be able to train, without forcing himself, while from Wednesday he will be able to prepare with his team mates for the European Supercup final on Friday against Sevilla in Montecarlo.

I did hear about his president and what he said. They reported it last night on SSN, but it was this morning that Alves denied it, if there's an injury, the president is just being a d!ck, otherwise Alves is not deserving of the Sevilla shirt.
The below is from the club website. The club has offered its condolences regarding the loss of Puerta and has offered to play the Supercoppa at a later time.

UEFA: Super Cup goes ahead
Tuesday 28 August, 2007
UEFA have decreed the European Super Cup Milan-Sevilla will go ahead as a tribute to Antonio Puerta, who tragically died today.
The 22-year-old player collapsed on Saturday during the Liga game with Getafe and, although he walked off the pitch, suffered five cardiac arrests before he lost his fight for life in hospital.
Although UEFA have rescheduled tonight’s Champions League preliminary round tie with AEK Athens, the August 31 European Super Cup will go ahead as planned.
“The match will be a tribute to Antonio Puerta,†said UEFA spokesman William Gaillard.
Milan have suspended all communication with the media and Press Conferences ahead of the match in Monaco as a sign of respect.
The football world has been stunned by the death of this talented young player, especially after revelations he had collapsed twice before in training.
“One cannot put any blame on the emergency team that gave First Aid, but I can say that the player had precedent and in Italy we are very severe on situations like this,†explained former Inter chief of medical staff Piero Volpi.
Volpi was the doctor who gave Nwankwo Kanu a medical after he signed from Ajax and spotted a serious cardio-vascular dysfunction that meant he risked his life every time he stepped on to the field.
The Nigerian underwent surgery and was out for over a year before carrying on his career.
“In Italy we have very in-depth medical exams that are obligatory and in almost all cases find any doubts over the readiness of a player to compete in sport.â€
Puerta’s case is on the latest in a series of shocking incidents. Most recently Cameroon international Marc-Vivien Foe died during a Confederation Cup match with Colombia on June 26, 2003.
In January 2004 Benfica’s 21-year-old striker Miklos Feher collapsed from a heart attack against Vitoria Guimaraes.
In October that same year Sao Caetano defender Serginho died at the Morumbi stadium in San Paolo.
There are precedents in Italy, although they go back some way. On October 30, 1997 the 24-year-old Perugia player Renato Curi suffered a heart attack during a game against Juventus. It emerged a cardiac problem had been diagnosed, but he was still cleared to play, prompting a clampdown on the rules.
More fortunate was Lionello Manfredonia, whose heart stopped during a match with Bologna on December 30, 1989. The Roma midfielder survived, but his career was over.

Sevilla will want to win this match for Puerta. I'm not sure if they manage to do so though, because they're in a really disconsolate situation, they'll probably lose Alves to Real one of these days, and on the other hand, we want the Supercup more than anything right now!
Rest in peace, Puerta.

Ronaldo in shape for Supercup
The wait is nearly over for Milan fans. On Friday evening the Rossoneri go up against Spanish side Seville for the European Supercup.
There is good news from the club will more than likely go to Montecarlo with the rest of the squad. The Brazilian has been working hard all summer to get in shape but a niggling injury in July set him back almost a month and Milan want to avoid a repeat of the situation.
A place on the bench seems the most likely destination for Ronaldo with Pippo Inzaghi already confirmed in the starting 11.
Reassuring news also from Massimo Ambrosini who picked up a knock in the game against Genoa but will be available for the game of Friday and should once again be wearing the captain's armband.

Ambrosini expects moving experience
Massimo Ambrosini will lead out AC Milan for the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla FC "with a heavy heart" following the death of the Spanish club's midfielder Antonio Puerta. "It's a strange feeling for me," said the Italian international. "I should be experiencing something wonderful and special personally but I cannot forget what has happened and it will be a moving experience playing tomorrow."
Opening goal
With a knee injury ruling regular captain Paolo Maldini out of the opening exchanges of the season, Rossoneri coach Carlo Ancelotti had little hesitation in handing the armband to the reliable midfielder. Ambrosini wasted little time in repaying that faith as Serie A kicked off at the weekend, scoring a 21st-minute opener at Genoa CFC before Kaká's two first-half goals completed a 3-0 victory. By that time, though, Puerta was in a critical condition in hospital having suffered a heart attack during Sevilla's Primera División defeat of Getafe CF. He never recovered and passed away on Tuesday.
Paying tribute
"We all feel grief and surprise at what was happened," said Ambrosini, an unsung hero of Milan's UEFA Champions League success last term. "It was up to Sevilla to make the decision to play the Super Cup and they decided to go ahead with it - perhaps this is the best way to pay tribute to Puerta. We must play in a committed way even if the match has lost some of its attraction, but we don't know what our mindset will be. It will be a very new experience for all of us - a victory or defeat will not have the same meaning as under normal circumstances."

"We all feel grief and surprise at what was happened," said Ambrosini, an unsung hero of Milan's UEFA Champions League success last term. "It was up to Sevilla to make the decision to play the Super Cup and they decided to go ahead with it - perhaps this is the best way to pay tribute to Puerta. We must play in a committed way even if the match has lost some of its attraction, but we don't know what our mindset will be. It will be a very new experience for all of us - a victory or defeat will not have the same meaning as under normal circumstances."

I have contrasting feelings about this game. On one hand I want Sevilla to win it and dedicate the win to Antonio, but on the other hand they are playing against Mialn.
We will dedicate it to Puerta to if that makes it any easier...
