Group E:

Per acmilan.com, if you're a girl, under 16, or over 65, tickets for this game are 2 euros.

EDIT: Programming note: this game is being shown live on GolTV for those in North America.

hey dst will you be going ?

Well technically you aren't a girl at 65. You're a women, so another mistake by the friendly neighborhood folks at acmilan.com.


Haha! Good one!

no dst is not under 16 or over 65.. so...

Anyway, this match can't come soon enough. Wednesday come early!

First off, it'll be great reclaiming the vital 1st place finish by beating Wolfsburg (though it won't be in any way easy). Secondly, this will be a reprieve from our dreadful Serie A campaign and we won't have to worry about points and league leaders, and other such crap. And thirdly and most importantly, more DIDA!

Meaning she's either yet to be born, or already dead?

under 16, and a pornstar

Dude...

this match is on my birthday! I'll be 22...the number of my idol.

ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS...let's see a WIN!

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.

Nice. Too bad they don't have promotions like that in the States. Wow, our bye week (12/4) just slipped by without me ever knowing it. Only a win will clinch us the group, and it's at home, so there's no excuses.

Edited by Max (no rules were broken, just let's move on)

Back to our regularly scheduled topic. (If you want to reply, do so through PMs. Thanks.)

Some clubs in Italy have that rule - reduced (though more than 2 euros) ticket prices for women, for retirees, and for kids. Fiorentina does. A ticket I'd have paid 100 euros for at the San Siro was 12 euros at the Franchi.

Not sure what kind of lineup we'll have for this one. People are either hurt or are in schifo form. The only starter I'm reasonably sure of is Dida in goal.

I know you're our Translator Supreme™, but now I'll play exchange rate with you as well: How much is two Euros in U.S. dollars?

Egad, another Top Chef reference: Didn't you get a kick out of Dave Grohl speaking Italian? (In fact, the one word I made out was "schifo.")

A win in this game is important for Milan. A win means they top the group, resulting in them playing a team who finished 3rd in their group in the next round. Otherwise if they finish 2nd, they'll play a CL drop-out, or 3rd and play a team that wins the group.

Great so we'll actually have a chance of scoring...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ACM

PROUD TO BE ROSSONER

GOD BLESS YOU ACM

Now that we have secured qualification, I hope to see more youngsters in the starting XI. especially Cardacio (knowing that Darmian has no chance of playing anyway).


P.S. just my opinion!

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).

I have a free pass, you wanna know how I got it?

Barzagli is there so we can score a lot of goals

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

I'm afraid Fishdoll would blush at hearing!

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.

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.

oh i know

Here are the call ups:

Dida, Kalac
Antonini, Darmian, Favalli, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Senderos, Zambrotta
Ambrosini, Pirlo, Pedrocchi (51), Fondrini (53), Ruggeri (55)
Inzaghi, Pato, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho

I think we were all blinded by how he played next to Cannavaro. Think of Kaladze before Nesta became chronic to injuries

Don't worrry we'll be able to make him look good

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

one or two youngster could be playing

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.

Maybe at last Darmian plays!

You the man now dawg! Favster is the coolest cat in the universe. FACT!

There's an interview with Favster in the current Forza Milan issue -- if anyone's interested, I could translate.

Don't be silly.

Que?

We were founded on December 16.

I'd be willing to bet that both Ambrosini and Zambrotta will play tomorrow, since they're both suspended for the Udinese game.

Good point Beretti - a lot of times CBs get overrated because they have an amazing partner. Madrid is going through the same crisis with Pepe out injured. All of sudden questions are being asked, and nobody has answers....

Okay. It's just that the post came off as random.

Yeah, I had to check to see what he was on about.

At least he did actually somehow, even offtopic, celebrate. We all seem to missed that one out.

Has Carlo given any indications to the line-p for tonight

btw, just wanted to mentionn this, it feels good to have a European game on a Wednesday night again

Just what I was thinking but sadly it's only a consolation...

han, all he's said is that Dida, Ambro, and Zambrotta will play. Dida plays all UEFA Cup games, so that's not a surprise. Ambro and Zambro (gah, a rhyme) are both suspended for Sunday and so will play today.

Ambro and Zambro...sounds funny...

Thanks Tennie

So I'm thinking we'll see something like this tonight



Hope we don't take them too lightly, Wolfsburg are far better then the opponents we've faced so far in the competition

Which is understandable seeing every match from now on will be tougher than the last, be it the league or the UEFA Cup. I can only hope the team is ready for it. The time for fun and games has come and gone! Now it's getting serious!

Guys ready to lose again?

No,

sorry,
to bad for admin's,
I look at all subjects, there were nothing about ACM Birthday,
so somehow I reminded all of you

P.S. i don't forgot nothing about ACM, since I live with them

once more, happy to all of you,

and tonight I expect a win, to start 109 with a win,
