O I'm sorry I didnt see that you live in Canada.

[xvr11]

I share the same sentiments Bosniaco...I too will try my best to see the Milan vs Inter game in Foxborough.

From NJ to Massachusetts is quite the drive.

[Vadim]

Seriously considering making the journey from Chicago and going to the derby with a friend... really wanna make this happen.

[Bosniaco]

Depends where you live in Jersey. I used to drive down to Elizabeth all the time 3 and a half hours.

[xvr11]

Depends where you live in Jersey. I used to drive down to Elizabeth all the time 3 and a half hours.

North Jersey, Im about 15 minutes from Elizabeth in Bayonne, 5 mins from Holland tunnel. I wouldn't rule out taking a quick charter plane there either. I really want to see this game !

[Vale46]

I just bought my tickets today too!!! $100 a piece (I got two), but I know it will be worth it. I'm bringing my giant flag, wearing my Gattuso jersey and I'm face painting! Ha ha ha.

[jwhatfield]

I just got tickets to the Milan-Chelsea match in Baltimore and will be taking my 7 year old son. Our first chance to see the Rossoneri in person. I cannot wait!!!

FORZA MILAN

[hitmannq8]

alot of my friends have bought tickets for the Baltimore game in Maryland, but more people from here (Montreal) are buying tickets for the derby in Boston.

Boston is only like 4 hours from here driving, so its definitely worth it.

[Reza]

Hope to be able to make it and meet others too

[Bosniaco]

Just got my tickets today for the derby in Foxborough. Cant wait for July.

[Jeff]

Section 136 I paid $75 a ticket, $15 service charge, $2.99 to print the ticket out.

[xvr11]

Awesome! I may look into a similar package real soon !

[Bosniaco]

Awesome! I may look into a similar package real soon !

If I was you I would horry up, because just in one day I lost better seats, ticketmaster was offering me 135 section 5th row. So the sooner you do it the better it is. Cheers !!!!

Also in 2005 I was at Gillette Stadium for the AC Milan - CHelsea game I had great seats, just behind the benches, great seats, just money is tiet now :)

[xvr11]

I know I hear ya...but problem is im starting a new job soon and I am not aware of the days off I'll have or even the hours working...so im dying to find that information out so I can see If i can purchase these tickets or not.

[Reza]

Toronto Milan fan? Welcome to MM freespirit

[catennacio]

[MiamiMilanista]

All,

I am going up to Boston in July for the Milan-Inter Derby. Does anyone know the best way to get down to Gillette Stadium? We are staying up by the North End.

Will there be shuttles or trains heading down?

Thanks in advance!

I have answered your pm mess. :)

[Arjun]

Allo folks....my wife and I are flying to Boston for the weekend JUST to see the Derby. It would be pretty awesome if we could organize some sort of pre-game getogether. If we can't meet in downtown Boston for a drink we could tailgate or something. Thoughts?? It would be crazy to meet ppl I have never seen before but share the same passion!

The game is not in Boston the game is in Foxborough

[Arjun]

Well I still need to fly to Boston....can't fly to Foxborough :) Even if I could...I wouldn't want to...

[Bosniaco]

Well I m up for anything, I m taking my sys and nepew to the game.

[guestes]

Well I m up for anything, I m taking my sys and nepew to the game.

Hope to see young players such as Albertazzi, Silva and Mattioni all feauturing. Fingers crossed that Dzeko will be in our team by then, and not Toni/Trezegeut lol!:p283:

[bLOND !-,-!]

mattioni will be heading back to gremio :( , he was just on a loan

[Blacktop]

Hope to see young players such as Albertazzi, Silva and Mattioni all feauturing.
Mattioni is no longer with the team.

[guestes]

Mattioni is no longer with the team.

That is a shame! When we got him on loan, we fought off interest from other clubs such as Juve. I think the LB and RB positions in Milan are too strong at the moment, with Zambrotta, Janko, Flamini and Antonini all gunning for those spots. I guess Mattioni would have done little but offer depth to this department. :sob:

[Blacktop]

Save for Flamini, I'd hardly consider our RB position to be a strength with the names listed above.

[guestes]

Save for Flamini, I'd hardly consider our RB position to be a strength with the names listed above.

Antonini at his best can really push Zambrotta for a spot, but according to rumours, we have aquired Porto's star LB. That will certainly help. Also, Bonera can play wide if needed.:w209:

[OCmilano]

Is anyone else getting excited about july 19th?
:djn::djn:

[SANT]

I'll be there... I have tickets... should I still look for the beamer with the ACM1899 plates?

[catennacio]

I'm going to the Jul 19 game from OC, CA. Anyone from OC too? We can carpool.. I'm getting excited.. can't wait :D

[OCmilano]

Screen name Cat.


Sant i should be taking the car. Is there a way to see the players warm up and maybe get autograghs before the game?

[SANT]

I have no idea... but getting there early couldn't hurt our chances... where are you sitting?

[catennacio]

OCMilano: I PMed you my contact.
SANT: We sit at different locations, I'll sit at section 133. But it doesn't matter. We can go together for some player's pictures, photograph before and after match.

[OCmilano]

i dont have the tics with me. but its the free hot dogs and nachos section. 130 something sounds right.

[Bosniaco]

Anyone has any info on Milan traning in the Boston area, where are they going to train if they are?

[catennacio]

Any one knows which hotel will Milan stay in LA area?

[OCmilano]

If i had to guess. I really think they will train @ the home depot, or a university. LMU, Etc.

And i really think they will stay in Marina Del Ray or Santa Monica area. Touristy and close to the stadium still.

I wish acmilan.com was more up to date like Inters site.

[milanfan4life]

ocmilano is right theyre staying at Shutters at the beach in santa monica


sad thing is since i work there i cant ask for autographs :(

[SANT]

The team will be landing at LAX coming from Frankfurt at 5:30 pm... in one hour...
good chance to take pictures coming out of International Arrivals...

[OCmilano]

It would be easy to believe you milan4life but the 1 post and join date makes it reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly hard.

[milanfan4life]

well i just learned of it now, im a banquet server and was called in to work tonight thourgh monday i ask my co-workers and they told me. i mostly lurk around because i have usually nothing reelevant to post. now that i do i join.

[catennacio]

so milanfan4life what can u suggest us if we want to take some pix and autographs with the players? and where is your hotel anyway?

[ganjarb]

Hi everyone. I was planning to watch them arrive at Tom Bradley gate last night but missed it. I heard that they immediately went to UCLA training ground at 7.30. Do you know what their plans are for today? Any open training sessions in UCLA again? I'd love to see them train. Thanks.

[Arjun]

Anyone have a clue where Milan is staying in Boston? Is it at the Ritz Carlton downtown? I want to go watch their arrival on Saturday.

[NAMMY]

Pity about the time difference or I might of watched some of the game, at least there'll be highlights> i'm more worried about our games against Chelsea and Inter, hopefully we won't get beaten too heavily!

[catennacio]

Im in the stadium right now where is everybody sitting. Im at 133

[Luca03]

Thiago Silva 1-0.
Good to see a defender score. They are always needed.

[Blacktop]

I noticed Kalac is in goal tonight. Big yawn.

[catennacio]

Nesta did a great defence getting the ball to kalac in front of galaxy' fw nose

[Rosso6]

Just the Galaxy....but lets be honest, Milan will need alot of help and prayers this season. Team lacks identity in play, midfield is lacking and even though this mere pre-season game...you can tell the play is really poor.
Follow milan madness at http://twitter.com/Soccersanse

[Bosniaco]

I agree it has been poor in the first half, there is no flow

[catennacio]

Thers a dude in milan squad with number 3. Who is he?

[catennacio]

2-2 our defence was terrrible today.

[Bosniaco]

Yeah not the best game. This is worrying me at times. Hope for the best

[Bosniaco]

Cant believe AC Milan players taking pics with Beckham

[NAMMY]

Looks like we'll still going to have problems in defence, especially on set pieces again!

[spina_don]

Looks like we'll still going to have problems in defence, especially on set pieces again!

we have Onyewu for that

[NAMMY]

Hopefully ...

[guestes]

Onyewu didn't play?

[guestes]

Please someone, player ratings! In particular, DiGenarro and Abate....

I think Thiago Silva's inconsistency is due to his lack of "proper" game time. he has shown flashes of ability, but I am just afraid about how long it will take for him to get consistency back.....

[SANT]

Just getting back from the stadium...

16.- Kalac - very slow... a keeper with more legs could have done something in the first goal.
44.- Oddo - the same Oddo we loaned out... still not the Oddo we got from Lazio...
13.- Nesta - very well physically... good coverages and one exceptionally elegant play...
33.- Thiago Silva - Excellent first half... good in the second half until the injury.
18.- Jankulovsky.- Not much from him today
5.- Flamini.- very good, I think he has earned a starting spot.
23. Ambrosini. - Intense as if it was a UCL final.
10.- Seedorf.- Better when playing on the left, than at the middle...
49.- Di Gennaro.- Lost on the right flank... too static.
80.- Ronaldinho.- He's back!
22.- Borriello... same as Di Gennaro.

20.- Abate, always on the right flank, not much to comment other than leading a couple good counter attacks.

Man of the match: by far, Beckham

What, T.Silva injured!? No!

[Bosniaco]

I dont think its biig deal with Thiago. They were massaging his calf during the game

[Dutchie-Milan]

You guys i didnt watch the game yesterday(it was waay to late) and i just woke up and i dont know the result yet,i want to watch the highlights without knowing the result so if i go to youtube and i search for some highlights i will automatically see the result,wich i dont want to know.

So can anybody give me the direct link to the highlights of the game,and remember: dont tell me the result!Or does anyone have the whole game wich i can download?If not the highlights are just fine.

[Dutchie-Milan]

Never mind when i went to page six of this topic i saw something with 2-2........

[Dutchie-Milan]

Ambrosini always gives his all

[guestes]

I am starting to miss Becks! I feel this game proves little, but just provides the players to dust off any cobwebs. Why is Kalac playing by the way. Surely, with Abbiatti injured, Dida and Storari would be better options!

[Dutchie-Milan]

I hope Silva isnt badly injured,because he has not the time to recover,he has to play against Chelsea and Inter so that he can get used with Nesta and he needs playing time because he didnt play a half year.

[OCmilano]

I agree with Sants ratings.

Borrielo worried me a lot. i think you need to give him the ball on a silver platter for him to do something with it.

Pippo at that age still doing well.

Thiago i dont think is injured, he was signing autographs when going back to the locker room.

Flamini great.

Ambro great. I wish everyone on our team played with the heart of ambro and gattuso.


So good to see Nesta too.

My fav part of the night was taunting the La Galaxy fans. LOL They always booed when Becks got the balll ( i always cheered) and i yelled at them dont cheer if he scores. LOL his corner set up a goal and guess what, cheering. lol. Then becks turned around and put his finger to his lips (shhhhh)

I think for landing after a 16 hour flight and only having 24 hours to play a game, i didnt expect much more.

But i think for us to have a succesful season we need pato, pippo, borr. to slash to the goal and the wings giving crisp passes into them.

Di Gennaro, has asistet a first goal, and he was not show notihng special,but he is young and feuw games he will be, a lot bether.
Abbate ong he is fast,wery fast.
Borello did you forget that he was injured alemoust whol last sezone?

[frankie boy]

Hi - Cant wait to see Gooch with Milan-and Becks will be missed after last nights performance...

[OCmilano]

Few pics.. Not the greatest but a few.

[guestes]

Hope Gooch's experience in the top leagues of Europe (although was a failiure) was simply a learning process, and this time around, he is ready......

[guestes]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuKyuPtPHuc
Please watch this. Is the guy being photographed with becks at the start Albertazzi or some random kid?

[guestes]

Flamini in I.M.O played great, and DiGenarro had good attcking contribution. Obviously the defense, although appearing good on paper, still struggled....

[Siregar]

I think, Gennaro contributed nothing except the assist (he just should be loaned out) and I agree that Flamini played well.

Albertazzi took pics with Becks at the end of the game. As did Dinho, as did Pippo.
