UEFA Cup Threads?

Season starts in a week and shortly thereafter we are in UEFA Cup action...I can't remember what we did in 2002...do we start threads where or in the regular games section?

Does this section remain sacred and off-limits for the next 12 months?

Good question...I guess we could just put them in the Games and Tactics section...UCL should be sacrosant for UCL methinks

Let me remember what happened.I remember that very good.We reached until the semifals with inter, Milan was playing with Dortmund for a ticket to the final and inter with Feyenoord.
That year i was going to school and i had a friend who was a inter supporter and we were making dreams about a great final Milan-Inter.But inter was eliminated from Feyenoord, they didn't went to the final.Milan also eliminated from Dortmund buy loosing 4-0 at Borussia's staduim at the first game.At the second game we won 3-1 and we didn't make it to the final.Next day after the 4-0 i went school and everyone was joking with me, they was writing everywhere Dortmund and again Dortmund at walls, papers,bathrooms, in the class, everywhere, they pissed me off so hard that day and i can't forget it since then when i remember that Uefa year competition.

I didn't mean I couldn't remember that disaster at the Westfallenstadion in Dortmund....I covered that game for SoccerAge back in the day. I meant I couldn't remember where we posted our game threads.

WARRO - I agree with your approach btw....I'm cool with that.

two years later, always april, exactly 07/04/2004 . . .

A small thing which can proove Carlo is not a cup coach but a focused-target-of-competition coach.

If Carlo focuses in certain competition, he'll get that one or at least almost get it (why almost? Because a game is uncertain). Just like he did when Milan focused to play in Serie A when Milan failed vs Deportivo in season 2003/204.

Remember, Roma should win the league from the points collected perspetive view. No one will deny Roma should get scudetto by looking the end points they got. But unfortunately there was better team in that time, it's Milan. It's not luck for Milan but it's unluck for AS Roma.

This time, I doubt Milan will win UEFA as our focus is always the bigger competition that we are in, Serie A. That's us, AC Milan!

Is the Uefa Cup draw tommorow? Nobody talk about the Uefa Cup?

Yeah! What a nightmare! Both nights were so awfull.
With depor i saw the match with a Roma fan.
I can't believe how did we eliminated, at san siro we won 4-1 an then we lost at spain with 4-0! The hole team that night was AWFULL!100% AWFULL.

The draw is in a few hours

Milan - Zurich.. probably the strongest team from unseeded teams we could get...

Seedorf: I honestly don't know that team.
Hahahahaha
Why isn't anyone discussing the UEFA Cup? I knew that everyone will snub it...

Maybe we're all underwhelmed after always playing the UCL? I watched the UCL draw yesterday for some reason as well, as if Milan were there ...
