Poor Finishing... Or Football Italiano.
Like much of our readership we took in the Roma v. AC Milan match yesterday. It was quite interesting to witness the ebb and flow of the whole spectacle. At certain points both clubs were clearly going for full points while at other moments they were content to sit back and let the clock run - mindful of massive midweek Champions League encounters.
Which raises the question, are either going to have the quality to see passage to the semi-finals? Roma looked at time during the match unstoppable. They were so relentless during portions of the game it seemed inconceivable that Manchester United will have faced such a solid and complicated side this season. Being nearly 20 points off Inter's pace is a moot point. Roma have given up on the league and are just consolidating their position for qualification next year and focusing on stopping the English giants dead in their tracks. Roma were unlucky several times in front of the net and should have had 2 goals. I for one, cannot wait for the Wednesday.
But speaking of unlucky, wait, unlucky isn't the word I'm looking for. More like pathetic. Alberto Gilardino's miss in front of the open net was terrible. Gilardino's constant bitching to the refs is tiresome. So tiresome, I cannot bring myself to watch AC Milan matches unless it is against one of the bigger Italian clubs. Don't talk to be me about the goal he scored off the Pirlo free kick. First, it came off a dive from Ronaldo and second a supposedly world class striker should be burying those chances. Gilardino should stop his crying and focus more on finishing opportunities. I've seen multiple chances go wasted from the striker this season. He's overrated. And no, that isn't a bitter American who wanted to puke watching the Italian National Team in Germany at the World Cup flop around every match.
AC Milan shouldn't even be in the Champions League. They should be toiling in Serie B with Juve right now. Bayern Munich's win over Schalke should - we hope - propel them to crush Milan in the quarters.
