Forza Milan

FORZA MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on team!!!! Lets take it to the Romans!

Roma on the attack
They are better then Milan in first min.

Eurosport commentary so far:

10' Chivu very good on the ball as he turns away from Tomasson, who pulls him back...the Romanian looking tidy, despite his long lay-off.

10' Montella applauds as Cassano looks for his run with a through ball...too much on it for the Little Aeroplane.

9' Milan playing their way upfield...Pirlo turns away from Perrotta...the combative former Chievo man just tugging back the Milan playmaker.

8' Ball aimed high to Tomasson...Seedorf looking to pick up the pieces...but can't take it in his stride.

7' Perrotta finds Montella wide right...but he's only got Cassano to look for in the Milan box and is robbed as he bides his time.

6' Cassano cutting in from the left...forward for Montella...only half away...TOTTI PICKS IT UP ON THE EDGE OF THE BOX!! GOES DOWN UNDER STAM'S CHALLENGE! Free-kick...but to Milan.

5' Totti takes the ball down...CUTS IT ACROSS THE BOX FOR MONTELLA!!!! OOOHHH! Blasts wide as Cassano got in his way...another chance for the Roma forward.

5' Kaka picks up a clearing header...but his first touch, for once, lets him down.

4' Totti's ball into the D for Montella...FIRST-TIME SHOT!! Screws it wide as he loses his balance...that was a chance though.

3' Cafu finds Gattuso down the right....the latter's ball in shows why he's made for ball-winning as it sails straight into Curci's hands.

3' Smoke from the flares now covering the Milan half of the field almost completely...tough to see anything, not sure how much the players can see.

2' Cassano picks it up just inside the Milan half...clips it forward...overdone though and Dida picks it up.

1' Cafu on the attack down the right...getting a healthy booing from the fans who used to worship him...but his ball is wayward.

Argh stupid GolTv has the Real gm live so I'll get Milan with 30 mins delay

either way FORZA MILAN

wow looks like Roma are on Fire
Come on Milan

Better than ESPN Int, who is not carrying the game at all!!!!!!

Now Milan is attacking, Kaka had great opportunity!!!
Forza Milan, We need 3 points!!!

New update from Eurosport:

21' Roma free-kick wide right...Totti with it...DEEP! VERY DEEP! So deep in fact it drifts thirty metres behind Dida's goal.

20' Roma now bossing midfield...we've seen very little of Kaka...now Aquilani brought down by Kaladze.

19' Totti probing...goes wide right to Panucci...then does a little give and go with the former Real Madrid right-back, but marginally overhits it.

18' THROUGH BALL FOR MONTELLA! DIDA RUSHES OUT! STAM NIPS IT AWAY FROM HIS OWN KEEPER! Confusion at the back, but Milan escape.

17' Tomasson and Cafu combine down the right...but again the Brazilian miscues his ball in...straight to Dacourt and Roma break upfield.

16' Milan coming forward with Kaka...finds Cafu to his outside...but for once miscues his ball in, screwing it behind.

16' Seedorf finds Crespo's run on the left...but the Argentine just went too early...the flag goes up.

15' That was such a nice free-kick from Pirlo...it had to be delivered with pin-point precision for Kaka to get a strike in and was right on the money.

14' Stam forward, Crespo jostling for position...Pirlo to take...WHIPPED IN NEAR POST! KAKA'S VOLLEY! CURCI! Does so well to get down and turn it round. Clever move.

13' Pirlo's ankles clipped by Dacourt and Milan have a free-kick wide right...chance to deliver into the Roma box.

12' Panucci in an advanced position on the right...NICE BALL IN! CASSANO ARRIVING LATE! Cafu gets there...back out to Panucci...WHO CUTS INSIDE AND TRIES A SHOT! Wide.

11' Cassano coming forward...Montella and Totti to his right...finds Montella...DANGER HERE! TRIES TO PLACE IT! Dida down well to his right...not that well struck and Cassano, in a great position to his left, would have been the better option for Montella.

Yellow card for Stam, He will miss next game

Great chance for JDT...no goal
