[Baphomet]

The real question is, who does he see Real/Barca as a stepping stone to?

[MaliBrah]

Anyone watch the game? Why was balotelli crying ?

[Man of Steel]

Anyone watch the game? Why was balotelli crying ?

Noise on twitter is saying it was due to racial slurs.

EDIT: Everywhere else is saying it was because of the team's performance/his substitution so I hope that stuff about racism isn't true.

Shame if true , these are the same idiots cheering his every goal come this summer.

He was crying because of racist madafakas. I hate every single of them.

[J-Mezzy]

That's sad. Can't believe that this stuff is still happening and so often.

[SirHuey]

It had nothing to do with racism.

correct. it had nothing to do with racism

So Gervinho said that the main factor in his resurgence is the coaching change in an interview w/ sports illustrated: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer ... a-arsenal/

Gervinho always had plenty of talent, but he’s playing better now than he was at Lille with Rudi Garcia. Back then, there were Eden Hazard/Adil Rami/Moussa Sow/Debuchy/Mavuba/Cabaye who were all on the same level as him or better. I’d say Hazard, Sow, and Rami were slightly ahead actually.

So far this year he’s pretty clearly Roma’s player, and they have some very good players like De Rossi, Benatia, Pjanic, Maicon, Totti, or Balzaretti.

That said, I’m sure it’s more than just the coaching change that makes the difference between his performances at Arsenal and Roma, Wenger isn’t exactly the type of coach that sucks the life outta players.

lol this guy is seriously blaming wenger now again? wenger stuck with him and tried him in multiple positions but the guy was just a clutz that kept getting confused on the field. He has no one to blame for his struggles at arsenal than him self. It wasn't wenger or rudi garcia out there missing sitters for him or getting his feet tangled up.

You can tell that the defenders give Cuadrado space due to his dribbling abilities. In this case, Cuadrado made them pay by shooting it from outside.

[J-Mezzy]

Fiore moves on to the final, but Cuadrado will miss it due to yellow cards

what a goooooooooooaalllllllllllllllllllll

[J-Mezzy]

He should try those more often. The defenders then will either have to pressure him and risk being embarrassed off the dribble and losing their defensive position, or play it safe and let him blast it from outside.

[Foye]

So did Lazio really sign a 41 y/o thinking he was 17?



If that guy is 17 then I'm 6.

[Mirjalovic]

careful man

Lazio added: "We reserve the right to take action against those responsible for the protection of the good name of the company and the footballer."

[magik9113]

lmao he certainly looks closer to 41 than 17. something like this happened to a former Inter player recently...he's retired now but someone claimed his actual age was 12 years younger than was on record

news:

The Gazzetta dello Sport are today reporting that the co-ownership of players in Serie A could be abolished.

According to the daily sports paper, meetings regarding the issue have already taken place between clubs with a view to bringing about the change by the summer of 2016.

El Sha is nearing his return

and Inter wants Vidic and Evra. probably since they are young enough to replace Zanetti/Cambiasso

That would actually be quite a coup for Inter. They would still be desperate for a legit striker, though.

Co-ownerships are kinda crap anyway.

Milan-Bologna just ended. I watched the second half...terrible game, but what a goal from Balotelli

[magik9113]

Fiorentina 1 - 1 Inter, 60th minute. Fiorentina tied it up after Cuadrado scored (deflection) at the beginning of 2nd half.

Inter is looking better...as Foye said, they need a better striker. Their defenders Rolando and Juan Jesus are growing on me quite a bit, and with Hernanes and Guarin they are all set in the center mid. Palacio is good; replace Milito (way past prime) with a star forward and they'll be fighting for top 3 again.

Fiorentina look ineffective offensively with Ilicic as the lone striker. Matri would have been a better choice but they're saying he needs rest after consecutive starts. Anytime Borja Valero isn't on the field for them they are not at their best...he's been amazing all season.

Mario Gomez just began warming up--wouldn't mind seeing him make his return today

[magik9113]

2 - 1 Inter. goal Icardi probably should have been called offside.

Gomez into the game 68th min
