2-1 for Ac Milan CONGRATULATIONS!!!
MILAN PER SEMPRE !!!

Inzaghi in the 1st goal, ran closer to goal, to get rebound, then he saw that, shot will come straight to him, so he twisted a little his body, and was lucky that the shot changed direction and went in.

Kaka had magical touch to ball, three four times in a match...
Kaka even got thru Liverpool´s offside trap, but the referee whistled that as an offside, while u could see that only Inzaghi was in offside in that situation. Last Kaka´s magical touch was when he relieved Inzaghi, for his second goal. Liverpool´s offside trap didn´t work against team like Milan, Inzaghi has always known best, for been there between offside and onside... He run sideways cleverly, waited until Kaka passed and finalised with high quality...

forgot about this ! Yeah, he played in Malmö . Already then he was very good. Inside the box , he's vicious. Never thought he would play for Brazil's National team though. But scoring 34 goals in 31 games in Holland is a great achievement . I wonder if he gets some playtime for Brazil in their upcoming games against England and Turkey in june? He's in their squad atleast.

Oh yeah , Congrats AC Milan . Like i said before , i was working nightshift and missed the game . I've only seen the highlights from the game . Inzaghi that old bastard , lol.

English national team brings Beckham back

David Beckham, left, of Real Madrid celebrated Saturday with teammate Robinho after a teammate scored. (AP Photo)LONDON -- David Beckham's quality performances for Real Madrid have forced England coach Steve McClaren to recall him. Now the former World Cup captain hopes he won't be left on the bench.
Beckham, who will move to the MLS with the Los Angeles Galaxy next month, was selected as part of England's 26-man squad Saturday for the first time since last year's World Cup in Germany.

After being overlooked for England's past nine games, Beckham could play in the exhibition with Brazil at Wembley Stadium on June 1 and a 2008 European Championship qualifier at Estonia five days later.

"We've got a very big game in Estonia coming up that we have to win, and I've got to pick a squad capable of doing that," McClaren said. "That's why I've picked David.

"Since Christmas, his form has been very good. I think he can help us win in Estonia, and that's why I picked him. I feel at this moment, that for the Estonia game, we need experience, and David certainly provides that. He is in very, very good form. The team needs that."

That suggests

Beckham will go straight into the starting lineup for the Group E game, which England needs to win to stay in touch with Croatia, Israel and Russia in the race to the 2008 European Championships. Only two teams qualify from each group.

Good shit . I didnt know Chelsea were going to Cali . How many do you estimate will show up for the game. I know soccer aint that big in the U.S , but since there is so many latinos in Cali and a mexican team is playing also it should be pretty good . Right?

kopiko · May 27, 2007

So , tomorrow its the most important game of this season so far in the swedish League . We , AIK face our biggest rivals Djurgården . Stockholm derby, 116 years of passion and hate. workingclass/middleclass vs upper class . We beat Djurgården twice last season , it was wonderful . people i work with had to call in sick and didnt show their face for over a weak , like dogs with their tails tucked in . Make us proud again and fuck Djurgården to hell.

I'll paste an AIK TIFO from one of the games against Djurgården last year , so you can get a taste of what im talking about when these 2 teams play. Might wanna turn down the volume, sound quality is not too good.

^^ Crazy atmosphere u got on those derbys !!
How´s Daniel Sjölund played lately ?

Ant-1 said:

Didn´t remember this one, Nice goal, cold w/ the finishing also.

4 a while ago, I heard some Barca player or manager said that last year´s WC plus touring in North America took a lot of energy of Barca players, so basicly while other teams were resting they were playing, so this got barcelona players tired. This was said after Barcelona dropped out UCL this year, I think Ronaldinho conceded this.

Barcelona won yesterday against Getafe 1-0
Real Madrid won yesterday against Deportivo 3-1

www.realmadrid.com said:

Barcelona have two matches left

FC Barcelona - RCD Espanyol (10 June)
Gimnàstic - FC Barcelona (17 June)

Real Madrid have two matches left
Zaragoza- Real Madrid (10 June)
Real Madrid - Mallorca (17 June)

So both got still one tough match, the winner of season 06/07 pretty much clear after next round.

Sjölund has been pretty good the few Djurgården games ive seen. Toni Kuivasto is a fighter in their defence also. he's strong with his head and we will have to watch out for him when they get a corner. How much does the media follow the suomi players in sweden ? Biggest finish star overhere right now(accually since last year) is Jonatan Johanson, always a dangerous striker. But you can never forget about Litmanen , he's recovering from a small injury and should be back on the pitch anytime now, living legend since his Ajax years.. Malmö FF also got a sick talent in Ola toivonen. He's from sweden though , but both parents from Finland originally. He might make the swedish national team in 2 years or less i would guess. Offensive midfielder.

Interesting games in the final stages in La Liga. You still believe Real Madrid will take this? Lets say both teams win their games . Then Real will take the title since they did better results in their games against Barcelona, right? Or is
it who've done more goals that'll decide the winner ? Im not sure myself when it comes to La Liga.

TAKIN NO SHORTZ · May 27, 2007

Yes, if same points, then the matches between two clubs will decide.
Finnish media doesn´t follow much soccer at all. Mostly there´s discussion on premier league, and always in international matches 4 sho.

I know that Litmanen haven´t played for a while, because he´s injured..
Still he was selected to our next qualifuing match.

Deschamps leaves Juventus

www.uefa.com said:

Didier Deschamps resigned as coach of Juventus on Saturday night just hours after the Serie B champions defeated AC Mantova 2-0 and a week after securing the Turin side's return to the Italian top-flight.

Mutual consent
Although his motives for leaving Juve are not clear the club confirmed on their website that the Frenchman had left his post as a result of a decision that was reached by mutual consent. Deschamps, who won three Italian titles and one European Champion Clubs' Cup as a Juventus player, was appointed as successor to Fabio Capello last summer after the Bianconeri had been demoted to the Italian second tier as a consequence of their involvement in the sporting fraud scandal.

Glittering career
The 38-year-old, who also played for FC Nantes Atlantique, Olympique de Marseille, FC Girondins de Bordeaux, Chelsea FC and Valencia CF during a glittering playing career which also saw him captain France 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO 2000 successes, had previously coached AS Monaco FC, the Ligue 1 side he guided to the 2004 UEFA Champions League final.

What should of been a great night became a big disapointment. AIK played very good and had the game under control(1-0, after brazilian Mendes scored for us) up until 30 minutes . In 79 seconds no other than Sjölund(there you
go , TAKIN NO SHORTZ) scored 2 goals after TERRIBLE AIK MIDFIELD loosing the ball twice and a horrible mistake from the AIK keeper at the second goal. After that our heartless players couldnt do shit . Had a couple of chances but Djurgården held out and after a massive AIK offence during the final minutes they could counter-attack and score 3-1 . We lost this one , but we will be back this fall with our homegame against them. We must crush them! Atleast us AIK fans did what we could and sang and made noise during the whole game. Thats more then you can say about them Djurgården supporters who had double the numbers and still got crushed on the grandstand and outside the pitch.

For the ones that interested , heres a NICE AIK tifo from the game. First, the swedish flag(Swedens National team were at the game , they face denmark in a few days at the Qualification for the Euro2008) , then at 2.40 into the movie,its AIK in big letters then at 4.20 into the movie Alot of Pyro Bengals were lit all over the north stand.
Heres the short movie
