Champions League Final: AC Milan vs Liverpool (ALL-match comments)

I think the only thing we can blame the players is that they are not aggresive enough

Lack of motivation should not be an excuse anymore.

And if a 3-0 lead doesnt motivate you, what about the other team?

I dont know what is the problem, but I dont think its motivation related.

Being 3 steps ahead of the line is one thing but is Dudek allowed to make such ... gestures during penalty kicks? I dont think theres any official UEFA ruling bout that but that was irritating

sorry. dida did no such thing. he celebrated ONLY after winning the game. i have that game taped. i watched that numerous times. he only celebrated with sheva after winning. buffon was acting like an ass after saving a pk.

Well that's fair game sehnsucht79. If you're to take a penalty you just have to deal with that .Let Dudek be a clown and punish him for it. Make him look ridiculous by scoring. A pro should do his job. Don't reward Dudek by being intimidated like that. Just slot it home.

Well I watched it a number of times too - I am referring to them being ahead of the goal line during penalties. Dida was in front of the line for Montero's PK, so was Gigi Buffon on one of the PKs but as I recall these two were not as bad as Dudek's

It wasnt just me, ESPN also highlighted this issue after the final was played in 2003

NO EXCUSES!NO MILAN team shoukd lose to a pub team after leading 3-0!It is totally unacceptable_It is a mental problem not a physical problem-Ancellotti must go!?
Tonight we had our pockets picked by the Scousers-didn they enter our half in the second period of XT?What abot their goalie for the pens-well out of order !But the game was over at HT-we only have ourselves to blame.Big changes for next season are needed!
Even the Buffs dont concede 3 goal leads!!

lets not bicker, sehnsucht is a juve fan and is being a ****ing amazing sport to come and console us. I'm just going to forget about football for a couple of days, support milan on the last game with all my heart and look forward to a new season.

Dida did it to Montello, and he got away with it. I remember that. I don't know about Buffon, seemed to me that he got inspired by Dida and tried to do it to Nesta but he failed still. nonetheless, they tried to do it once at most, unlike Dudek, a total clown. Should have protested to UEFA when he was assigned, like what we did in 1994. We got rid of the assigned referee who was said to be a close friend of Cruyff and we won 4-0.

I guess we didn't seriously believe Liverpool would become such a hard nut to crack. Damn!!!!! I thought we could have won 4-0 again, and it looked so good...

I never saw any goalkeeper do what Dudek did today....it almost made me laugh, almost, because I was to nervous to laugh! Totally not acceptable!

Theres nothing you can do about it. Dudek can move along the line, move his feet, his arms, etc. I agree he is a stupid monkey, but rules are rules.
Pirlo's PK was a joke. Dudek almost ended outside his area.

- sleep as if there's no tomorrow. Do not get up unnecessarily. Drown into the non-reality because reality sucks.

- avoid opposition fans. AVOID THEM.

- practise smiling in front of the mirror. You need to fake it when you lost.

- watch old tapes of your team's victory. that'll help you feel better.

- go to another team's forums and act like your team is the best in the world ( I wouldnt recommend this one though)

- Play a football game, pick your team against the team who beat you and destroy them 45-0 on "easy" mode (my fav method)

- take out the shotgun and go Juventino hunting

- wear your Milan jersey with pride to work, school, wherever. If somebody stars laughing at you beat the crap out of that person or just show them the finger or "number six"

I will try to do some of this...
I must go tomorrow in school
But I'm going in Milan jersey, 3 of my good friends are Juventinos tomorrow is D- day or I'll kill someone or someone will kill me
