lol and what of Zambrotta's through ball to scholes? Did that not cost Barca at least a place in the finals? That pass was so good I hope it counts as an assist

Stop being ridiculous.

Zambrotta was never good with Barcelona... I'll say that right now. But when he plays with his old Azzurri team mates... wow. His performance against France and Spain was rather solid. And it happens to be many of his old teammates play in Milan... so I connect the two together and I'm happy with him coming to Milan.

And don't be editing the post after I made a response. That's immature.

You should watch the games before the final. You do really know why he is moved to the left side of the defence?

I admit he did mistakes not only in Final but also the games before Final but what he's done with the defence's Germany were really good. There was a game before final where he looked like fighting alone in the defence.

Lol, I never suggest Quaresma to substitute Seeodorf nor Schweini. (again and again ).

I even said that will take Schweini over Quaresma (just I told in my previous post) but I do think Schweini is the right person to replace Seedorf (leftside of central midfield's position).

Enjoy ur vacation mrki!

Have fun mrki.

I think Zambrotta is great when he plays for Italy. Fantastic. But he also made a big mistake defensively against Romania...

maybe if I put it in point form you can understand (I won't bother to quote the posts you can look for them if you feel like)

>You said: Schweinsteiger is better than Lahm defensively
>Siregar said that was ridiculous
>You defended your view by talking about his mistake in the final
>I said that one mistake shouldn't define a player
>You said not when it costs a team a trophy
>I said that Zambrotta costed Barca their chance at the CL trophy

Hence unless you apply a totally different rule for Zambrotta as for Lahm you have contradicted yourself

He was consistently weak in the defense in the semi-final and final, but perhaps this can be attributed to the relatively weak backline in Germany's defense consisting of Metzelder, Mertesacker and Fredrich...

I even said that will take Schweini over Quaresma (just I told in my previous post) but I do think Schweini is the right person to replace Seedorf (leftside of central midfield's position).

Okay... cool.

If I didn't get a hair cut, I'd be ripping out my hair because you missed my point. I said I think Schweinsteiger is better. But wait, aren't the two of different positions on the field?

Lahm made many mistakes in the semi-final and final. I never contradicted myself. I'm talking about the Euro cup only here.

Edit: Okay, I see.

Well, he did recover the next games, and he played quite well against France and Spain...

One last thing it's nice to have Italian players in an Italian team, but claiming that they are better than the other (as players or for the fans) is .............hmmmm lets say a little bet racist, I mean that fans world wide don't whather the team has Italians or not they just want to see it competetive with or without Italians only Italian fans care for that.

Cambiasso played, Stankovic probably wouldn't play even if he was ready because he was in awful form. and we played without Maldini, also. it was a big victory, Milan totally dominated for 65-70 minutes against a side that has a style of playing which creates many problems for Milan since 06/07 season.

Strange how two people with Pippo in their favourites tab who support the same team agree on practically nothing else eh aaah well at least milan fans still love eachother.....if we were inter fans we'd be

playing w/o maldini was an advantage. He gave them the win the first time we played inter last season.

comparing milan missing maldini to inter missing cordoba and ibrahimovic is ridiculous. Perhaps if we missed kaka and nesta it would be comprable

Playing without Maldini was an advantage? No way. Playing without Dida is an advantage. It was Dida that gave Inter the win with his awful goalkeeping work. If anything that game should have been 1-1.

Inter Milan had plenty of other players to make up for it, and Ibra is not that great. Cordoba maybe...

Look at the replay again and you can know its not Maldini's mistake at all.

Loosing Maldini compare to Ibra and Cordoba is ridicoulus? What are your reasons? If we hadnt Maldini on the firt game, Inter would fool us. He was the one who covered Jankulovski's position and mistakes and when he was partnered with Bonera in central defence, he was the one who cover Bonera who played pretty bad and couldn't mark Ibra or the other striker at all (in this performance as DC against Inter is one of the reason why Bonera didnt get so much chances IMO after he played regularly as DC for some games.)

We may be forced to look for another striker now. Ronaldo's contract was not renewed, and likely I do not think there will be another offer.
