I think it's too soon to draw any solid conclusions (we can't forget Milan scored 85! goals last season), but if things do not start looking up soon then I hope Milan have a nice fix planned for the January transfer period. ;)

I said it at the beginning that Israel has a very real chance of qualifying from this group (likely at the expense of either Croatia or Russia) and they've been doing very well so far. The England draw is great for both Israel and Croatia, though they're still in all likelihood safe. Here's...

Wow, you guys should just ignore the guy. He's clearly not intending to discuss things intelligently.

I rarely say things like this, but this is as close to a must-win game as Inter will get. At the very least, they must come away with points. If Inter lose, they're at best 4 back of Sporting for 2nd place. Luckily for Inter, Spartak is the weakest of the group and it's not yet winter.

Could anybody help me with this information? Have there been any missed penalty kicks (for any team) besides Ibrahimovic's? Thanks. Edit: Nevermind! Got it (Ibrahimovic, Ventola, Totti, Brienza if you're curious).

Milan is most definitely not in a crisis of any kind. To claim anything otherwise is disingenuous. Parma, on the other hand...

As always, a huge help. Thanks.

Wish I would have seen this thread sooner, it would have saved me a few minutes ;). I've been going through match reports to get league-wide assist totals, and I'm curious whether or not Figo deserves one for Samuel's goal against Chievo. The report reads: "Inter take a two goal lead through...

If someone could help, it'd be appreciated. Could someone with video or memory of this game tell me who, if anyone, assisted on Chievo's 2nd and 3rd goals? Thanks.

I just don't feel as emotional when I watch them play as I do seeing Milan. :P Without that, it's impossible for me to consider myself a supporter.

I don't really support any, but I like when Liverpool or Tottenham do well. I also think Chelsea has been a treat to watch recently, though I'd feel sick if I were a fan of them. I also really like what Real Madrid has built for this year, but I don't care how they do. Atletico de Madrid is...

I don't know about GolTV, but I don't think FSC shows any live Serie A games.

Wow, big surprise. Congrats Spain and Greece as well. I hope the US can learn from both.

There are a few reasons. First, they believe that getting a younger team together for multiple years (as this team is committed to three years together) is better for team chemistry, cohesiveness, and ultimately effectiveness especially on defense. The Dream Team worked when the rest of the...

You make many good and correct points. Don't get me wrong, I don't see Milan as invincible, and the season will be a rough one if certain things prove not to be true. First, I think Cafu needs to start a majority of the games. Perhaps 25 or so. Or, he needs to hold up until Oddo comes in...
