disagree greatly with the word superior....Barca had the first game in which they had two chances....capitalized when it was in front of them...Milan didn't...

Like I said for Milan to win many things had to ALIGN in their universe and it didn't .. Pirlo never found his game since December... defense was never consistent since the beginning of the year and Gila never gained CL confidence...for this to work all these things had to align...
Many stated Milan would never be the same after Istanbul...they proved everyone wrong....3 semis in 4 years .. still top ranked by UEFA ... A few summer adjustments and Barca will need more than a few stepovers to do this again

:pint:
Not necessarily, Nick. Remember that Barcelona is still a very young team and with players such as Messi, Iniesta, and Oleguer all maturing and developing their skills they will be one hell of a team. Not to mention Ronaldinho approaching his prime and the possible addition of Henry...has the world ever seen a better team on paper? I don't fucking think so. Milan will have to revamp their defense if they want to reach another semifinal, let alone win another Scudetto. And once again Kaladze is NOT a centerback. I still believe the huge cloud that travelled west from Istanbul is covering the city of Milan, and once again you lot will most likely have a trophy-less season. However, considering you're out of Europe, you should give Juventus quite a scare and the title will probably be decided on the final day of the season.

Try this on for size:


Victor Valdez

Oleguer - Puyol - Marquez - Van Bronckhorst

Deco - Xavi

Messi - Ronaldinho - Henry

Eto'o

Cant really comment on american tv, But there seems to be a certain respect for milan across most of europe...

Whereas there is very little praise of juve in the post lippi era from any quarter... and rightly so...
With regard to American television, Fox Soccer Channel devotes hours of air time to broadcasting classic Milan matches, current Milan matches from Europe, and also specific Milan programmes from the Milan Channel every single week. Even Manchester United does not get as much air time here in the States, and that's rather strange considering Manure fans probably out number those of the Rossoneri two to one. Fox always makes a point in their commercials that Milan is the "most recognizable team in Italy" and I even recall them stating they are the best club in Italy, so take that as you will. American football television is laced in red and black.

As for the other clubs, there is no question Manure has the most fans in the US, and I would have to say Real Madrid is easily second. Barcelona fans are on the rise obviously and so are the Liverpool and Chelsea supporters, which is indeed sad to see. I don't see many Juventus or Inter fans, however I have seen quite a few people wearing Roma jerseys for some odd reason. If I were to ask them who exactly Bruno Conti was I doubt 75% of them could give me an honest answer. But that's sometimes the norm with some American soccer fans who "like" foreign clubs...while people such as Burke, Enron, and myself are hard to come by. Juventus does not get much publicity from what I have seen compared to a bunch of other top clubs, but that is to be expected.

I grew up in Southern Pennsylvania where people ask me questions such as "why are you wearing a referee shirt" and "who is Jewventus?" People stare at me like I'm some sort of computer geek with a shirt that states "Fastweb" across the chest or a jacket that contains the words "Nederlands" in big letters with the subsequent flag. Some idiot in my Speech class asked me "what is Nederlands" and proceeded to say he would jack off while looking at the black image of two bodies huddled together on the front and on each sleeve of my jacket. I walk into a local pub during the World Cup and find all 10 televisons tuned to fucking Nascar...now you know what I have to put up with on a daily basis. But hey...sometimes there are benefits to such lunacy. Knowing more about soccer than anybody in your respective county must count for something, doesn't it?

And don't say no, Enron. You cafone.

Just tell them it's a soccer club that was exterminated in Germany, routed out of Eastern Europe and forced to play their home matches in Palestine, where the fans really want them to leave, preferably in pine boxes.

    OWNAGE DUDE. OWNAGE.
    Like I said, this team was labeled DOOMED after the Istanbul fiasco...everyone picked Inter and Juve as Serie's A top and Juve for CL (remember?!)...reaching the semi's and losing on one goal and being second place with an opportunity (albeit slim) to win the Scudetto is something NO ONE would have predicted. More importantly, the team continues to play hard and play an entertaining game dispite a season AFTER Istanbul and a season plagued with injuries and mishaps...
    fact of the matter is that Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka, Gilardino, Shevchenko and Nesta still have very good years left..some have not even come close to reaching their peak...Inzaghi, Rui Costa, Ambrosini (arguably because of injury) are invaluable resources that can start on many teams...
    defense is a growing concern but has been for quite a while I see one big signing and another Cafu type signing that will bring much life to the D....
    I don't see the end of an era nor do I see a team that is still plagued by Istanbul..the loss to Barca had nothing to do with a lack of confidence or fear of crumbling ...
    Anyways, Congrats on Scudetto number 29

    @ Denco: thats ok I don't follow deadlines either

    :blah: :blah: :blah:

    You're right, though, Juve will clinch it, but still - I know you believe in your heart that Milan will win...

    Thanks Vin..no you are not too late...

    I don't know when I will be counting the votes..soon hopefully.

    By the way, I have never been to Buffalo's Little Italy but I only hear good things..
    Toronto's is over rated..Everytime I met Torontonians overseas they kept bragging about St. Clair but it was nothing more than an old crusty bakery managed by toothless Filomena and her hairy son Giacomo and an old social club..
    Woodbridge is too righteous to have a decent Little Italy...a few bars spread out with 'EH OH' heard from corner to corner...

    I have been to the various ones in NY ... Boston...Chicago....San Diego....San Fran....Toronto...Montreal...Ottawa ... Philly .... still have a few left to rate..oh yeah and of course I have LIVED if I haven't visited the Italian area in Raliegh, North Carolina where you can get a good old fashion plate of EYE-Talian pasta with "red" sauce and a nice cappuccino after dinner ...they call it 'the trailer park trash Eye-Talian night out experience" you even get to keep the Menu with a fat chef who has a handlebar moustache saying "MAMMA MIA PIZZERIA" ...

    Buffalo really doesnt have a "little Italy" per se, Nick

    we just have one street (Hertel Avenue) that has many different Italian stores, bakeries , and restaurants (along with the Italian Festival in July). But its still longer than College st in Toronto, thats for sure

    Niagara Falls NY has a "little Italy", but its not very big
