so says the one who thinks mohammed zidan is a world class player

boumsong has hardly played all season, not even enough to justify weather or not he's that mistaken prone at the top level, its just that alot of us like to forget the good performances of his quicker than his mistakes

I think you mean whether . I know it's confusing .

whats worse right now... getting spanked by your primavera side, Camo's injury or yet another game not being televised in North America ??


My answer is Camo's injury...but the other two are pretty annoying as well

 

[Ahmed]

too bad for Camo, gotta question the medical staff with these recurring injuries...are they rushing him back too early into top-flight football??

 

[Azzurri7]

Is Marcho fit for this game? any news about that?

 

[Vinman]

so, here was the lineup that was spanked by the primavera side-



Belardi
Zebina Birindelli Boumsong Criscito
Camo---Almiron Tiago--Marchionni
Oliveira Iaquinta


I also hear that the primavera also had a legit goal disallowed

 

[Ibrahimovic9]

thats cuz boumsong played

Camo---Almiron Tiago--Marchionni
Oliveira Iaquinta

so CR is trying mimmo at RB, the tiago almiron partnership in midfield and marchionni on the left. One of those three went really bad imo and i guess we will see it at all this season.

But that's a really bad formation, I hope Raieri learned from it an will not ever use it again.

Why does everyone take this so negatively ? This must mean that the future of Juventus is going to be incredible . With arguably the best youth team in Italy , that can crush the first team . A promising future for Juve .

 

[Juve per sempre]

Ahhhhh, back to normal. Where's Legro? And big shock, you chose Tiago.......

I thought why not give Criscito another chance in this match.
I think that every member in this forum agree that Tiago should start this one,what do u have against the guy?

 

[Paolo Sosa]

first i really think this is a good enough lineup atleast for the Coppa, 4 goal or let say 5 goal from the primavera is way too much for atleast the names in this lineup, it also means that our Midfeild was exposed. Tiago and Almiron doesn't work and it shows how much we relay on Zanetti. on the other side, it seems that we became one of the best teams in italy in producing some Young talents. each year the Primavera is better than the year before.

[Ahmed]

imo we shouldnt really worry too much about the practice match, all the players bar a couple havent even started a game in a while or even got a sub appearance.

 

[Salvatore]

stream link which isn't myp2p or sopcast please?

 

[rounder]

It's not like the players gave it everything they had . They were just playing for fun probably . I don't know why this is such a big deal .

Serie A Preview: Parma - Juventus

Who: Parma (13th, 11 points) vs. Juventus (4th, 21 points)
When: Sunday, November 11 2007, kick-off 15:00 CET
Where: Stadio Ennio Tardini, Parma

http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=475944


This twelfth round clash at the Ennio Tardini in Parma features two sides with contrasting fortunes. The home side are looking set for another season spent hovering around the relegation zone while visiting Juventus are intent on making a return to the lucrative UEFA Champions League, of not more.

Of course, it is also a return for Claudio Ranieri, who less than six months ago rescued Parma from certain relegation.

Parmigiani under pressure

Ducali boss Domenico di Carlo is under immense stress to turn his side?s form around and today goes head-to-head with the man who saved Parma from relegation last season, Claudio Ranieri.

The Giallorossi would have been hoping and expecting their side to make an improvement from last season and challenge for a place near the top half of the table. They find themselves languishing once again and a mini-revival will be required just for Di Carlo to keep his job.

Defence has been Parma?s problem this season having conceded 19 times this season. Only Livorno have leaked more goals at the back and there is no doubt that Parma will struggle to contain current top scorer Trezeguet in this clash.

Going forward, I Crociati look good and despite having key marksman Igor Budan out injured, Bernado Corradi and co. have had no difficulties in finding the net. Parma will find the going tough in this one, as Juve do not look like dropping points and do not have any serious defensive weaknesses for the Gialloblu to exploit.

Containing Juventus? powerful forward line will be truly testing on Parma?s defence.

Bianconeri taking care of business

Juve have returned from Serie B and are going about their task of returning to the top of calcio with less fanfare than expected. Sitting fourth a quarter of the way through the season, the Bianconeri are poised to play Champions League football once again next year.

They are not heavy favourites for the Scudetto as they usually were during the pre-Calciopoli days but are every chance to be crowned Italian champions come May should they remain consistent for the remainder of the season and it is matches like these that Juve must always win.

With hitman David Trezeguet firing goals for fun and a sturdy backline, the Old Lady are looking good and showed their steel to score an equaliser in the Derby D?Italia against Inter last week. Not having to compete regularly in Europe will also leave the Bianconeri stars refreshed and able to feature in more league action.

Expect Juve to come out firing and with their strike power they should win this match. Parma?s defence has struggled all season and when face with Trez, Del Piero and co. they will likely crumble.

TEAM NEWS

Parma

Key injuries for Parma include those to striker Igor Budan as well as Giuseppe Cardone and veteran Fernando Couto who has one match left to serve on a spitting ban. Bernado Corradi will play as a lone striker with ex-Juve player Andrea Gasbarroni behind him.

Possible Starting XI: Pavarini; Coly, Rossi, Paci, Castellini; Dessena, Parravicini, Morrone, Reginaldo, Gasbarroni; Corradi

Juventus

I Bianconeri are without central defenders Jorge Andrade and Jean-Alain Boumsong, although the latter?s absence will add strength to the Juve back four. Legrottaglie and Chiellini will take up the central defensive roles while Czech midfielder Pavel Nedved is suspended following his ugly tackle on Inter star Luis Figo. Mauro Camoranesi is a major doubt for this match and is unlikely to feature.

Possible Starting XI: Buffon; Grygera, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Molinaro; Almiron, Nocerino, Zanetti, Palladino; Del Piero, Trezeguet

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Bernado Corradi (Parma)

The former Lazio and Manchester City striker has scored four times in eight matches and will be Parma?s key man up front. Corradi is in fine form and will relish the opportunity to find the net against one of Serie A?s big boys.

David Trezeguet (Juventus) The French forward is enjoying his return to Serie A leading the Capocannoniere charts having found the net 10 times from the first 11 matches. Trez was so close to leaving Juve following their return from Serie B but signed a new deal and is now firing goals for the Bianconeri in career best form.

PREDICTION

Parma are struggling at the moment and while Juventus haven?t exactly been setting the world on fire either, they have solid form and will use this match to consolidate their top four position. Expect Juve?s class to show through.

Parma 0-3 Juventus
