MONTECARLO - Domani, in occasione della gara di Supercoppa Europea tra Milan e Siviglia tutti i giocatori in campo porterranno il nome Puerta sulla maglia.

[Tomorrow at the Supercup, all the players well have the name Puerta on their jerseys.]

That's awesome.

Awesome would be Paolo lifting our 5th Euro SuperCup in 26 hours...

Everytime he's won the European Cup, he's gone on to win the SuperCup - Good omen for Milan.

btw one of the rai chanels (either 1, 2 or 3 can't remember atm) will broadcast this match live

not really sure if either team have the desire for this game to go-ahead if i'm honest, but life goes on and i hope for a Milan win of course but Antonio will not be far from my thoughts

The game really should have been postponed.

Anyone know which jersey we'll be wearing for this one..

Dida Doubt For Ancelotti Ahead Of Super Cup Clash

The Milan goalkeeper has a problem with his right shoulder and his presence for tonight's match against Sevilla is highly in doubt.

The Rossoneri are facing the possibility of playing without their number one goalkeeper Dida in tonight's all-important European Super Cup game against Sevilla at the Louis II Stade of Monaco.

The Brazilian shot stopper suffered a problem to his right shoulder on Thursday evening and it is yet unclear whether he will manage to recover in time for the big game.

If Dida will fail in the last tests before the kick-off time, veteran Australian goalkeeper Kalac will take over the responsibility of guarding the Milan goalpost and try to shut down the Sevilla attacks in what promises to be an exciting final.

Dida's injury occurred towards the end of the last training session and this could be an important loss for the Rossoneri , with the Brazilian playing well during the pre-season and in the first league game against Genoa last weekend.

that's very nice! good on them...

Dam it, we all knew that sholder is Dida's problem ever since,..
We should have considered a reinforcement for the GK position. Even Abbiati.

Let's win this game tonight. Let's give Paolo the oppotunity to lift the trophy for Puerta,..

@ Fillipo Simone

Paolo is not going to play tonight. Ambro will lift it should Milan manage to beat 'em.

Dida with his shoulder again?? Why didn't he have a surgery like God and Gila!!!!??

Well, then lets leave Ambro to do that job,..

Damn it, I can't see us winning this thing with Kalac

Me neighter. Everything is turnig against us,..

Sell Dida's shoulder. Get Ronaldinho.

Not exactly related to the game, but UEFA.com is having a live chat with Dejan Savicevic starting at 1500 CET if anyone wants to participate. They've been running live chats with various footballing folks as part of the lead up to the Supercup.

Dam it, I won't be at home,..
Well, let's just hope that Dejan is calmer when chatting then he is when he talks/gives interviews,..

For those who understand serbian:
Dejans interview

So our only weapon going into this game was Dida... I think that other guy who won two prizes yesterday (can't remember his name) along with the other 10 champions are good enough!

I've seen that before! This is a version with English subtitles!

But why is he wearing the Yugoslavian uniform inside Zagreb?

Well, the translation didn't capture one moment, but it's a good one.
It was a Euro-qualifier, when Croatia played at home against Yugoslavia. Dejan was just a bit naive,...

Kaka and the others might score of course but would that really matter if Kalac has a bad day and fumbles everything that comes his way?

If we want to win this we need a solid goal keeper, and that definately is not Kalac

Kalac might not be able to do this but I fear more of a did fumble than a Kalac one.

So Dida won't play tonight??!!!!

Forgot about that one that's probably Dida at his best during those times.

But still I trust Dida much more then Kalac and he looked good in pre-season and the opening game. So I'm not that afraid about him fumbling

Our weakest link, going into this game, is the Gkeeping options ... But in all honesty, Sevilla don't exactly have a Buffon for a Gkeeper neither do they have a Henry for their attack ... In any case, I think we'll outscore them

Palop was one of the best keepers in Europe last season. Kanoute was one of the scorers too.

Yeah .. But Sevilla are playing AC Milan, so for a team/club as BIG as Milan, players like palop or kanoute or whatever ... Don't stand a chance !

Ohh and it's Nesta who will be in defense, not Laursen. And it's Kaka' and Inzaghi in the attack

A spanish radio says Alves will be on the first 11.

Some others say playing or not, he'll be a Real Madrid player until mid-night. Just rumours.

I hope he plays !!!


I really do hope he plays


OOoooo RinGoooooo


FORZA MILAN!!!

My new prediction: Sevilla 1-0 Milan. Kanoute to score, Palop with the cleen sheet.

It's getting really nasty all this Galliani talk! Do you understand that Milan don't artificially create their players!?? We buy them from other teams... Sevilla could be that team and Palop could be the player... the difference between us and them is not as big as you'd like to think! Milan is not on Mars...

Sevilla did beat teams like Madrid last year. Not just any Madrid, a Capello Madrid that could defend! It's very hard to predict this result. A very fast paced Sevilla team against a technically gifted Milan team.

I just hope it's a superb match, one in memory of Puerta!

Alves will give us a lot of problems with his pace and offensive ability.

Forza Milan!

I know that Gilla can't put the f**king ball in the net, but i wan't him to play tonight! I know Pippo will play, but i don't think he will make us kings of Europe... Just a feeling, let it be a wrong one

45 years old Pippo with one leg is still would be picked ahead of Gila

Sevilla was lucky at home vs. Madrid with Mejia as CB.

In Bernabeu, they lost 3-2.

Calm down !! We will beat the sh1t out of Sevilla !

I dunno. I don't think they were that bad. And both of Sevilla's goals were fantastic, if Casillas couldn't stop them, Dida/Kalac won't.

But If both teams play to the best of their ability Milan shouldn't have too much trouble in winning the game, they have too many leaders and real top class individuals on the field, wheras Sevilla are 'just a team' with the exception of Alves and Kanoute.

Trivia factoid for those who are interested in such things:

Sevilla's midfielder Enzo Maresca (who is a usual starter for them) is a former Milan Primavera player.

Navas... the wonderkid Jesus Navas. Don't forget him.

Oh ar, he'll be sure to cause Janku some problems.

20 min.



Sevilla playing in a 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 (as you like).



And Milan on the x-mas tree.

Both only playing with one striker? I expected Sevilla to play with two.

Why the hell has Aubameyang got such a silly number?

FORZA MILAN! FOR THE 5TH EURO SUPERCUP!

That wasn't the Sevilla fans booing Alves on the ball was it!?

Kaka' off the post!

soooooooo close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
