..inter WERE looking for alot of fouls,but they shouldn't stereotype italian teams like that..they generally put newcastle in a pitiful light..

those commentators are BIASED..

True enough, the commentators in Singapore were kind of biased, they prefer English teams to Italian ones. But I dont respect inter and Juventus too. Inter players dive a lot and Juventus gets away with fouls in Italy easily, but the referees in Europe were much better, they were called for the right fouls.

This is definitely true! Basically all if not most of my circle of friends are EPL supporter.....Man u.....Arsenal....Liverpool
They like to brag how good epl and english teams are but if u look at the european history only Liverpool has the respectable success.
Man utd which have been doing well in Europe won on TWICE in europe and Arsenal who played a breath taking style of soccer has won nothing in europe!

I always hope Milan could face any english team in the Champion league but that has not happened.
But what i'm proud of the 3 Italian teams which are in the Quarter final.....and these really silence them.
Hope maldini will be lifting the cup in front of the english fans in old trafford!!

Yep, and by that time Paolo has already made a new record as the only Milan player playing his 509th matches in Serie A, 8 games more than Gianni Rivera's 501.

FORZA MILAN !! FORZA PAOLO MALDINI !! FORZA MILANISTI ALL OVER THE CONTINENTS !!

I'm lazy to read reports about SARS in the paper.Can anyone here tell me why is these virus spraeding in Chinese majority countries i.e Singapore,Taiwan,China,Hong Kong..?

lonewolf · 28-03-2003, 20:32

In China theres like almost 800 people infected,and there are even ppl affected in europe.

I read in the papers that because there was no school alot of students went out..and we're having 2 weeks of our June holidays cut off..what makes it worse is that my school decided to extend our online learning another week,PLUS we're having our holidays cut off..

humanTORCH · 29-03-2003, 06:23

Polytechnics and university should be closed too but it never happened!

Anyway to all my fellow friends pls avoid crowded places and be a homie for a time being.

humanTORCH · 02-04-2003, 11:25

Day by day more victims died from the virus.....Seems like it's getting out of hand!

I hope WHO or whoever could find the cure fast!

lonewolf · 04-04-2003, 04:56

Here's the article in TNP for those who didn't have the chance to read it

35, and still hungry

VETERAN AC Milan defender Paolo Maldini is still hungry for trophies and records - just two months short of his 35th birthday.

The man who made his Milan debut at the age of 16 this week signed a contract that will keep him at the San Siro until June 2005.

If he sees out that deal, he will eclipse Dino Zoff's record of 21 seasons of top-flight Italian football and should beat his mark of 573 appearances in the domestic League.

In that time, Maldini has been a model professional.

His mistakes on the field have been collectors' items while he has been impeccably behaved off it.

And Maldini remains hungry for success despite a career when he has gorged on the most prestigious silverware in club football, although a top prize in the blue shirt of Italy always eluded him.

Maldini is one of six children of Cesare Maldini, a player in the AC Milan sides of the early 1960s that won several Serie A titles, two European Cups and one World Club Cup.

Cesare, assistant coach to Enzo Bearzot with the 1982 World Cup winning squad, went on to coach Italy in the 1998 World Cup and Paraguay in 2002.

Maldini made his first Serie A appearance in 1984-5 at the age of 16 when the club's fortunes were at a low ebb.

The likes of Luther Blissett and Ray Wilkins were Milan's foreign stars.

'Wilkins was a real personality,' said Maldini last year.

'He used to help the young players and top professionals never do that in Italy.'

BEST DEFENDER

During the late 1980s and the 1990s, few would argue that Maldini was the best defender in the world.

In 2000, he beat Zoff's record of Italian caps and when he quit last autumn after the unsuccessful World Cup, he had a record 125 caps for the Azzurri.

He played in four World Cups and four European Championships for his country.

He never won a trophy with Italy, but twice went agonisingly close.

In 1994, he was a member of the team that lost the World Cup final on penalties to Brazil.

Married to top Italo-Venezuelan model Adriana Fossa, Maldini is the father of two sons and lives quietly and modestly in Milan.

But unlike his father, he is unlikely to be in contention for any frontline football role when he eventually hangs up his boots.

'One thing is certain,' said Maldini last year. 'I will never be a coach.' - PA Sport.
