15/3/2008 Italian Serie A - AS Roma vs AC Milan

Could this live online commentary Italian Serie A match between AS Roma and AC Milan be a sign of a changing of the guard with Milan a fading force both in Europe and Italy while Roma continues to go from strength to strength each season and will now start this game with the knowledge that they will face Manchester United in the Champions League for a place in the semi finals. The Rossoneri have only one thing to play for left this season and that is to grab at least the fourth Champions League qualification spot in the Italian Serie A and they have Fiorentina and Juventus to fight against. Roma have much more to play for as they are still in with a chance for the Treble. Darren Fletcher of Manchester United insinuated that Roma have only got the Champions League to play for and that was quite an insult to the Giallorossi's position in both the league and the Coppa Italia. Francesco Totti and his team will want to prove him wrong and go as far as they can, and they are actually in with more than a shout for the Italian Serie A given Inter Milan's recent jitters.

AC Milan have not enjoyed the best of records against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico and they will want to change that starting with this live online commentary and streaming radio broadcast match against Roma. Their captain Maldini also paid Roma the best of compliments by claiming that they play the best soccer in Italy at the moment and have achieved great results like beating Real Madrid. AC Milan themselves have lifted themselves since getting eliminated from the Champions League by starting their campaign for fourth place in the league by beating Empoli away last week which saw them close the gap on Fiorentina and are now literally breathing down their necks. With Gattuso back from suspension, the Milan midfield will be even stronger for this live online commentary and streaming radio telecast Italian Serie A match between Roma and AC Milan. Pato and Kaka should still remain as the striking pair upfront and despite missing Ronaldo and Inzaghi, Milan still packs a lot of firepower for this game.

It would be the most logical to believe that this live online commentary match between AS Roma and AC Milan will end in a draw with both teams determined not to lose. If this were to happen, Roma will find themselves losing ground on the title race and that is something they are trying to avoid. There are still 10 games left for AC Milan to claim the fourth and last Champions League spot and while dropping points in this game might not be the end of the chase, it would certainly damage their hopes.

UEFA Champions League 20/2/2008 - Arsenal vs AC Milan

Brace yourselves now football fans, for the clash of the round in the UEFA Champions League today. It's Arsenal up against AC Milan in this live commentary and play by play soccer match at the Emirates Stadium, where the young and vibrant upstarts from North London aim to put one over the aging aristocrats from Italy AC Milan. Arsene Wenger will once again pit his wits against the very best in the business (even though he easily ranks as the top two club managers ever in the history of the modern game) in his AC Milan counterpart but the real battle will be on the pitch as the world awaits to see if the young Gunners, with all their verve and attacking style, can overcome years of experience and shrewdness in the Italian team, who have done this countless times, especially in the last two years as they continuously depended on a whole host of aging stars, who have just as well continuously defied the laws of nature by soldiering on and excelling despite their aging legs.

All the right noises are coming out of Arsenal ahead of this live commentary and radio broadcast UEFA Champions League soccer match against AC Milan, with Arsene Wenger assuring fans and media alike that his players were really just horsing around in the FA Cup against Manchester United on Sunday and they had long since recovered from both the physical and mental exertions, ready to face the Italian giants who happen to be current Champions League champions. Cesc Fabregas, the no longer precocious Spanish midfielder of Arsenal, has also issued a rallying cry to his teammates ahead of the clash, calling for unity, determination and self belief in toppling their deadly foes in this live commentary and TV telecast soccer match in the UEFA Champions League between Arsenal and AC Milan. Arsenal should have their top striker Adebayour back for this match as he was rested over the weekend, which indicated Arsene Wenger's degree of interest in that competition while Manchester United fans were rubbing their hands in glee.

This match would be a hard call as both teams are actually quite equally matched although with very different abilities as will be seen in this live commentary and radio broadcast UEFA Champions League soccer match between AC Milan and Arsenal. One team is young and fast and with lots of attacking flair, while the other is rather old but with really shrewd footballing brains both on and off the field and no lack of talent and quality in all parts of the field. What might happen though is a lot of goals instead of a cautious game, if Arsenal can manage to lure AC Milan out of their defensive shells as Italian sides will also be Italian sides and look to stifle their opposition at every opportunity. So our expectations are really against the grain and hope to see many goals, with perhaps a narrow victory for Arsenal although it would most likely end in a draw in this live commentary and TV telecast soccer match in the UEFA Champions League between Arsenal and AC Milan.

Ronaldo's Career Is Over

Or close to it, as the Brazilian ruptured his tendon in the left knee, which is now an identical problem he suffered to his right knee almost nine years ago. Ronaldo was carried off the pitch in tears and that shows you that I am just about right in my assessment. Ronaldo knows it, I know it, and the whole world knows it as well that this striker who was once Europe and the world's most feared striker, has gone down the bin chute and will no longer play another competitive game, given his ongoing health and fitness issues.

In fact, it would do him a lot of good if Ronaldo retires now. He might not find himself able to walk come 10 years later if he tries to make another comeback. He might lose his legs the next time something serious happens on the pitch.

Italian Serie A 10/2/2008 - AC Milan vs Siena

This Italian Serie A live commentary and play by play soccer match between AC Milan and Siena will see AC Milan trying to cope with life without new teenage sensation Pato who was seriously injured last week and also Kaka who met with an injury although it was not serious but will keep him out of this game. It also comes at a time when AC Milan was just starting to experience a good run of form as they attacked their way to a string of victories, much a result of inspired transfer in Pato and also the resulting three pronged attack of Kaka, Ronaldo and Pato. However, this live commentary and TV telecast soccer match between AC Milan and Siena will see a true test for the Italian aristocrats as they struggle to make any headway in Serie A this season and seem to be suffering from a huge Champions League hangover from last season.

Filippo Inzaghi will be back from injury in place of Pato for this live commentary and radio broadcast Italian Serie A match again Siena, but he is no Pato and Ronaldo and his other team mates would need to step up by providing incisive passes and good crosses for Inzaghi to thrive on and score a few goals. It is amazing that the pint sized but deadly Inzaghi is still plying his trade at the top echelon of Italian soccer but it could be expected too since he bases his game more on tricking the offside trap and being at the right place at the right time. It is also a great testament to his professional attitude and hard work to continue performing at the highest level while his brother and other peers are no longer around.

This live commentary and TV telecast soccer game in the Italian Serie A between AC Milan and Siena should see another win for the home team, but just nearly, as Siena would provide stiff opposition and would seek to test the aging Milan backline and doubtful strikeforce. Leaving the famous stadium with a great result from upsetting the European Champions would also be an amazing result for Siena.

Italian Serie A Highlights - AC Milan vs Napoli

It's the return of Ronaldo. Not the one who scored a couple of girls, but the fat one who still looks a little pudgy in his return but manages to score two goals as shown in these goal highlights between AC Milan and Napoli. Ronaldo does look a lot leaner though, and sharp in front of goal. Scoring two goals would have helped his confidence a lot and reports mentioned the three pronged Brazilian attack of wonderboy Pato, Kaka and Ronaldo looked sizzling. All three players scored, including one from Clarence Seedorf. A pity that Milan defence looks creaky in conceding two against Napoli. Check out Pato's goal, nice touch and finish. Cool composure for someone so young.

Kaka: I Wanted To Leave Milan Before Champions League Final

In a slightly shocking bit of news, Brazilian and World Footballer of the Year Kaka revealed that he thought of quitting AC Milan on the eve of their Champions League final showdown against English Premier League struggler Liverpool last season.



Looking at how this season has unfolded, Kaka could be regretting a little that he did not consider it further.
