I don't buy it. Everyone is so quick to attribute good fortune or bad fortune to "luck" -- as if some kind of divine intervention is at work. There's two rules here -- probabilities and the things you can do to influence them. It's as statistically relevant as that. I just don't want to see...

Ignore who? :D Hey -- I feel for those Milanistas. They threw everything at an out-of-form Juve, and the best they could do was score ZERO. You have to feel sympathy for them. Or not...

Blasi had an off game, but I'm not so sure Appiah would have fared any better. We need a playmaker to arise out of the midfield...

I'd be careful there. "Luck" and "bad officiating" are the salve of losers. About one in three matches ends in a draw, and that's rarely because both teams are truly even on the pitch. Milan outplayed Juve's pants yesterday, but Juve looked to be playing for a draw ... and Milan just didn't...

FWIW, this match hit a little too close to home in reminding me of the '03 CL final.

Like their usual form of, say, trading out Samuel and bringing in Henry and Totti for lots of cash? Can't be too worried. Gotta love Real's transfer campaigns. If it weren't for all the merchandise they try to sell with them, you'd think they were playing a 1-4-5 formation. :confused:

IMO, the level of defense Juve played today didn't make the clean sheet on Milan's behalf "SO MUCH LUCK". I think the zero scoreline for Milan was actually rather fair. Pirlo's and Sheva's misses were hardly quality shots by any means -- they narely got a good look at the goal. As for any...

This is perhaps the best, short assessment of the match. We should feel lucky to have escaped this match with a point. Our defense was pretty solid -- Cannavaro made some great plays, Emerson did his thing, Zambro continued his consistency, and nobody panicked ... despite the fact that we played...

So on the walk to the subway on the way to work this morning, I'm wearing my Juve warm-up jacket, as usual -- something I bought at the Torino Juvestore :thumb: before the Coppa final earlier this year. (While you see people in S.F. wearing Roma or Milan garb on occasion, I'm about the only...

:LOL:

A post only made all the more perfect by your Fli avatar. ;)

Milan cannot afford to go 7 down, so they are going to be pretty pumped. If it's a low-scoring affair (i.e., if we make few mistakes), I think we'll draw or maybe even win. But odds are that I would pick Milan in this matchup. I'll pick 1-2 in favor of Milan, though I'm definitely hoping for...
