Never really thought as a Rossoneri Fan, Paolo Fan, and Becks Fan that I would get to see this.

    GF, just of the top of my head: Dinho’s first great pass was to set-up Pato’s second goal. The second was an beautiful little chip volley that Inzaghi put over the bar from right in front of goal and and only the keeper to beat. The third was incredible outside of the foot 30 yard pass that sent Pato on his way and eventually culminated in Beckham shooting over the bar when he should have made it 6-1. That’s three great goalscoring chances created by Dinho in 15 minutes of game time.

    Your hatred towards Dinho in particular and Brazilians in general is not healthy.

    where does pippo lie in the european all time scoring charts? i know he was there or thereabouts the top champs league scorer of all time with sheva a couple of years ago (and raul is in the mix too) but with all these mickey mouse rounds they have introduced now it has devalued the honour as many of the shitty english players get to play against amateur teams and rack up scores.

    Raul is top of the CL scoring charts followed by (methinks) Van Nistelrooy, Henry then Sheva and Inzaghi.

    ah – thought it was something like that. but sheva and pippo scored most of those in the pre-bullshit champs league days if i remember rightly so they didn’t get to score against FC Bottlewashers etc etc

    Neither have played in pre-CL European competition. In fact all top 5 have only played in the CL era and is a major reason why they head the list.

    If the CL was still a knock-out tournament right through, I think Di Stefano might still be leading the scoring charts.

    Good video, Fadayn. His goal against Inter and his celebration with his arms flying are a few things I’ll remember for a long time.

    CL was introduced around 94 me thinks… so make your calculations from that point.

    I would partially agree with Gian on R80 case: what bothers me about him is that how he can turn invisible, you know, pass here, pass there, but not an ounce of leadership.
    He was brought for his crazy runs on the left flank, leaving defenders in his wake, for mesmerizing ability to turn the tide with his never ending trickery and skillful passing, but that’s the only thing we see – passing. And for that we have Pirlo and (now) Becks.

    We wanted Maradona, but instead we’ve got some guy with identity problems – he thinks he is Michael Laudrup.

    This is gona sound harsh but i dont know if a can take some of the Dino analysis seriously!

    It borderline laughable imo to call out Dino invisible when Pirlo has only recently bothered to turn up at matches, sunday was the 1st match this season that he has done anything useful and even that was really only the pass where he set up Pippo

    Carlos over-dependence on yet another player has taken its toll on another player, Becks has been pretty much useless the last 3/4 matches

    If it wasnt for that fact that Pirlo & Becks are on OUR team i would find there current inability to string together passes also laughable but quite frankly find both of them kinda horrific, the most they have contributed to the team over the past month is to constantly give the ball away, Carlo, if he had any sense, would keep them both away from Seedorf in training, as this must be where the two are picking it up from!

    As for Dinos performance on sunday, it again, is laughable to call him out WHEN THE WHOLE TEAM WAS EFFECTIVELY ON VACATION FOR THE 1ST HALF!!!!!

    At one point he managed to get past 3 players, managed to get more through balls in bout 20mins than becks had the entire match

    How cum peeps forget how many times he set up Pippo, Ambroa and Sheva in his debut against bologna??

    Having probs remembering how he pulled the pass of the season to Kaka in the derby, only for jesus boy to repay the gift in kind that lead to Dinos winner??

    Yeah, he can go awol at times, but with so many current candidates on the team that so likewise, why does Dino bear the brunt??

    Well said, Avia. Ronaldinho made the most of his chance on Sunday given that he was inserted with 20 minutes left just after Milan went up 4-1. Milan normally folds up the tent on offense with any kind of 2nd half lead. Instead, Ronnie created a goal with a terrific pass and easily could have had one or two more assists. What do you want him to do, play sweeper and keeper as well?

    Hey guys. As you probably know, I’m the Julian who runs the Italy WorldCupBlog (click my name for a link), and I was hoping to get some help from you guys for an upcoming series of posts. I’m asking each writer for a serie A club to email me, if you’d like to, and name 2 or 3 players who you believe should get called up to the Azzurri. Not players that are already a fixture, but maybe young guys who haven’t gotten a call up yet, or older overlooked players who deserve one. If you could email me, that’d be awesome. Much thanks.
