I think the match changed when Terim put in Hasan Sas. He was what they needed because he was giving great passes to Hakan Sukur, totally breaking down our defense with those dribbles, and just added a whole new dimension to their offense. I think Lippi should have countered that move by removing Conte and inserting Appiah as a shadow for Hasan Sas. I didn't understand why he had Appiah playing as a left back????? Oh well, thats Lippi for you.
Juve played a good first half, and with some better finishing by DiVaio, and a little bit of luck with Miccoli's free kick, we could have been up by at least a couple of goals. I was watching the game with some Turkish guys and during the first half they were really scared everytime Miccoli touched the ball. They kept referring to him as the fat midget. Turks.........

my views :
first of all, Juventus started the match well. No need for Juve bashing here. I mean, we don't even NEED to win this game, we do not want to risk any unnecessary injury and yet we still played well. I think credits should be given to Juve for that.
second of all, I understand if someone dislikes Galatasaray but I do not comprehend people who 'already lost their respect' to Gala just because of this one match? Yes, they dived and pretended they were dying on the pitch, I saw the match, but they were very much under pressure and come on don't tell me you have not met primadonnas outside Galatasaray. Two of their goals were solid, Hakan sukur did not miss and they won.
Football's easy- You do not capitalize on your chances you get punished. That's why Juve lost. And it's not even a significant loss, we didn't even lose anything, a point against Olympiakos will make us top.
So chill. Although I do not like losing either come to think of it its not so bad...

Lippi is very relaxed, even after a defeat where his team dominated almost the entire game. “We played an excellent match, expecially in the firts hour. We had many opportunities to score, some where really clear.
When Galatasaray scored we reacted immediately, with Maresca and Miccoli we went close to score just a couple of minutes later. With a joke I can say we lost a match in Serie A and one in Champions League: now we start again!”

so delle alpi is the only place where we can beat gala. but there is no place your national team can beat latvia. you played away, you lost, played at home. woohoo, a draw. i mean, yeah, latvia arre giants of european football they are hard opposition for every team, but so is turkey, you took 3rd place in last world cup. o it must be prety hard, to stay at home and watch latvians winning, innit?
or wait, maybe latvia is not so strong... mayba it's latviEFA.
your such a prick.

Lippi wouldn't stop baffling us with his choices, he started with Tudor as right-back and Zalayeta in right of midfield !! But still, both players played well in thier new positions and in fact, as a team we were better than Galatasaray in the first half as well as parts of the second half.
We could've easily gone 3-4 goals up had Di Vaio not missed easy chances in the first half that even Emile Heskey would comfortably score from. I'm 100% sure that had Del Piero or Trezeguet were in Di Vaio's shoes and missed those chances they would be crusified and calls to sell them would be filling the forums again. But thank god that wasn't the case.
On a more positive note, I think Maresca had a great night. He played in the left of midfield and was given the freedom to roam forward and he created chances and could've even scored from a couple of chances. Appiah's form is slowly dipping alright, time to reintegrate Davids in the first team?
Let's move on. Lazio, please!

Your two points don't connect... you congratulated us after our win, therefore we're not respectful?
It really makes it hard to congratulate someone who's constantly taunting and crticising our club.
After the Gala match, you didn't see us saying "HAHAHA GALAUEFA, TAKE THAT, YOU $#!^^Y CLUB"... we just said that we're glad we won.
We never claimed to know about Galatasaray, nor can you claim that you know anything about Juventus. What's the point of this argument?
No there isn't an honourable "soccer" team in Australia, and I follow Juventus on television. Is it a crime to use technology to follow events around the world?
I don't believe you. You're calling the club officials chicken because they don't want to play a highly public football match in a country where highly public events are perfect targets for making a statement with bombs?
I'd rather our officials show concern for the players rather than say "we'll show these terrorist bastards what we're made of! Bring on the bombs! :fero: "
Well actually, sporting events were cancelled after the Sept. 11 bombings, and it's not like foreign teams travel to the USA on a weekly basis, since pretty much all American sports are played domestically (think about the NBA and NHL...the team that wins those competitions is called the "World Champion".
England is also very different...there hasn't been a major event there for a long time, so it's not like they're gonna boycott all sporting events as long as there's tension in a country... there were bombs in Turkey a week before the match was scheduled. It's not the same, dude.
Oh, you are not. You seem to be having a joll good time.
Bombs are different from petty street crime.
Yes, being the best club in Europe comes with a certain expectation to win matches even if they're not as important as others. We aim to uphold honour and respect for the club, no matter what the situation, and this performance wasn't good enough.
Also, this match did carry some significance in deciding whether we finished top of the group or not.
:groan: I shan't bother acknowledging this drivel
