Italian Serie A 16/2/2008 - Juventus vs Roma

This top of the table live commentary and play by play soccer match clash will see Juventus trying to close the gap between themselves and Roma by securing a win and boost their own chances of an automatic Champions League slot by finishing the Italian Serie A season in second place. It would also be a great achievement by a Juventus team that bounced back immediately from their relegation to Italian Serie B almost a year and a half ago due to match fixing. Claudio Ranieri has done well with the resources given to him since taking over from Deschamps as manager and has molded a team that mixes grit and determination well with flair and attacking football. There is actually not much talk about Ranieri's tinkerman approach that he made famous in England perhaps he has mellowed after so many years in the wilderness since leaving Chelsea.

Juventus will be trying to take the game to Roma in this live commentary and radio broadcast Italian Serie A soccer game but Roma has proved to be a strong defensive unit despite being known more favourably for their attractive slick passing game, marshalled well by their playmaker Francesco Totti. The evergreen Totti continues to prosper in the league despite having failed in his career to impress at international level. Roma are way behind Inter Milan in the chase for the Italian Serie A title but they have to concentrate on strengthening their position in second place as Juventus are nipping at their heels and this live commentary and TV telecast soccer game between the two teams will see some fascinating battles as Del Piero, Nedved and Trezeguet will look to break down Roma's defence led by Panucci. In fact, this might be a high scoring draw with Juventus holding the slight edge since they would be determined to prove they're back and roaring in the Italian Serie A.
