Siena had reassured Fiorentina in the lead up to the game that they would not give up without a fight despite already being relegated.

Gazzetta Dello Sport is reporting that Milan shocked off their socks by their weekend defeat to
Sampdoria is adding Man City hardman, Nigel De Jong to their roster. With Jack Rodwell brought over
from Everton showing signs of promise in the backfield and freeing up Yaya Toure to rove ahead,
Roberto Mancini can afford to let go the Dutchman who is in his last year of his contract.

If the traffic and the crammed parking on the way into the AC Milan vs. Olimpia match at
Gillette Stadium was any indication, the Razor should have been rocking and loud as a tremendously
entertaining match between two heavyweights of their domestic leagues ensued. Only half of that
came to pass; the match was entertaining but the crowd was unusually sparse as Milan dusted up the
Honduran champs 3-1 behind masterful goals and creative play from Robinho and Antonio Nocerino.
Should we take it as a sign, or is it just because Antonio Nocerino wanted Rino Gattuso's old
number and that no one else fancied it? Milan have announced squad numbers for the 2012-13 season.
As mentioned, Nocerino has taken number 8, Kevin Prince-Boateng has taken number 10 since Zlatan
Ibrahimovic will not be wanting [.
A storm it was. One coloured red and blue with yellow trimmings. This was not the same side Italy
faced in their opening game. This was a different team, though they donned the same colours and
bared the same names on their back. Spain were imperious, majestic and mesmerising. Their
performance will be remembered like [.
The night that belonged to Shevchenko* It is with such pleasure to once again be able to praise the
on-field heroics of former Milan favourite and star, Andriy Shevchenko, after such a long time. On
Monday night the Ukrainian captain, now approaching 36 years of age, scored an unlikely brace to
lead his country to [.
With all the friendlies out of the way now, the real action is set to commence when Euro 2012 kicks
off in a few hours. There are six Milan players featuring in this summer's tournament in Poland and
Ukraine and reviewing the form of the players heading into the tournament there is but one Milan

The last 24 hours have been particularly hectic for the 16 coaches heading to Euro 2012. They have
been busy finalising their squads for the summer football festival and after having done so six
Milan players have made the grade. As Sweden's captain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is Milan's biggest name.
He will wear the number ‘10' [.
National team coach Cesare Prandelli has made the Azzurri's roster official, and communicated
his list to UEFA.
Compared his previous version, the manager has left out Andrea Ranocchia and
Mattia Destro. Doubts remain on the eligibility of Leonardo Bonucci, currently
under investigation in the massive betting scandal surrounding Italian soccer this week.

Cesare Prandelli trimmed down his squad list from 32 to 25 players for the friendly against
Luxembourg on Tuesday evening at Stadio Tardini of Parma. Those that didn't "make the cut" are
goalkeeper Viviano, defenders Astori, Bocchetti,
Criscito, and midfielders Cigarini, Schelotto,
Verratti.

This has been a fantastic season in Serie A where Juventus ended the season unbeaten winning their
twenty eighth Scudetto. AC Milan and Udinese will be playing in the Champions League next season
while Napoli, Lazio and Inter will be in the Europa. Novara, Cesena and Lecce were sadly relegated
from Serie A to Serie B.

In 4-3-3 formation....
GK: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus)
A relatively easy call to make. 'Superman' has been back to his best form in Serie A this season
and won his fair share of points for La Vecchia Signora with some outstanding personal
performances.
We are in the final weeks of a compelling Serie A season and to top it off, we could see a big club
get relegated this season to Serie B. Genoa have been in freefall and not have won in the league
since early February. Genoa sit one point above the relegation zone and a rejuvenated Lecce side
under Serse Cosmi are gunning for them.
AC Milan recently launched their new kits for the 2013 season with a campaign
featuring Ibrahimovic, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Antonio Nocerino and Thiago Silva.
Let's not forget Ambrosini, who was strategically positioned at the front because
well, you all know how much Milan love their veterans!
"I don't feel that my job is at risk". These were the words of Max Allegri following his side's
surprise defeat to Fiorentina on Saturday. The loss enabled Juventus – still unbeaten this season
– to leapfrog the Rossoneri into first place. Consequently, and most predictably, the Milan
tactician has come under pressure with his [.
Barcelona moved into the UEFA Champions League semifinals with a 3-1 second leg win (same score
on aggregate) over AC Milan.
It was another great performance from Barca as Lionel Messi scored two goals and Andres Iniesta
added one. There was a little cause of concern in the first half as Milan's Antonio Nocerino made
it 1-1 (Milan would have advanced with a draw).
The road to recovery just got increasingly longer for Toronto FC goalkeeper Stefan Frei.
Toronto FC announced that Frei will be out 4-to-6 months after undergoing surgery for torn
ligaments in his left ankle. The club originally had said that Frei would miss 10 weeks with a
broken left fibula, which he suffered during a non-contact play in training.
Barcelona continue their attempt in defending their Champions League trophy after successfully
beating Ac Milan 3-1 at Nou Camp as Lionel Messi scored a brace in the match, while Andres Iniesta
sealing the victory over the Italian side.
It wasn't an easy game as at one point Milan did managed to make the scoreline 1-1 before the
Catalan eventually edged out with a pretty lucky goals indeed, despite they did create several
chances.
Barcelona and Bayern Munich swept into the Champions League semifinals as Lionel Messi became
the competition's most prolific scorer in a single season.
Messi scored two first-half penalty kicks and Andres Iniesta added another goal after the break
to give Barcelona a 3-1 victory over AC Milan following a 0-0 draw in Italy.
It was in the fourtieth minute of the game. It was one a piece to both sides, a score-line that
would have put Milan through and Barcelona out. The Catalans had no doubt been the better side,
but, they had not converted their possession into goals. Just like last week. Milan were on a high
[...]
Lionel Messi scored twice from the penalty spot in the first half and Andres Iniesta added a
third goal after the interval to guide Barcelona to a 3-1 win over AC Milan at Camp Nou, sealing a
fifth consecutive semifinal berth for the Catalans.
The defending champions had expressed concerns over the aerial ability of Milan's in-form
striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic but it was actually Antonio Nocerino who scored the visitors' only
goal.

It was an amazing performance. It was an incredible result. Italy defeated Germany 2-1 in the Euro
2012 semi-finals to set up a showdown with Spain on Sunday. However, they did so as they have done
this entire tournament – by playing a completely different brand of football compared to how they
have played [.
England v Italy was expected to be the least entertaining of the quarter-finals and so it
proved.
A largely turgid tale of massed English defending and missed Italian chances was put out of its
misery by a penalty shoot-out, won 4-2 by the Azzurri, after Ashleys Cole and Young fluffed their
spot-kicks for England.
Let me say this up front first. I only started watching the match from the 73rd minute onwards.
Time difference and work in the morning plus a tiring day before, all combined to ensure that my
body doesn't respond to the alarm ringing at 2:30am for the start of the match.

Two observations. How on earth did England survive for 120 + minutes? And Andrea Pirlo has more
creativity in the nail of his right foot's little toe than the entire England squad. That was the
nail he used to execute that breath taking panenka to level the penalties, 2-2 en route to
Alessandro Diamanti's game winning spot kick.
The group stage is over at Euro 2012 and, it has to be said, it was quality entertainment. There
were goals, glory, Greek tragedies (and surprises), inconsistent refereeing, blind goal-line
referees, stories of legends, teary-eyed sadness and CR7-like tantrums. Nothing you would not
expect from the best international tournament in the world.
