Bradley on bench for today's game. The move to the starting 11 appears to be relatively short-lived.

Yeah... I heard Bradley had a terrible game last week. This move continues to look worse and worse for him.

Ives you got to be surprised at how well this young napoli team has been playing. I've always been a napoli fan because of the fact that my family is from the naples area. I think tha napoli is finally getting the kind of season the team and the loyal fans derserve. FORZA NAPOLI!

(ooops - meant to post this here)
RUBIN KAZAN ARE CHAMPS!
The most intersting year in a long time in the Russian Premier League has its champ. CSKA lost to Spartak and Rubin won at Saturn, giving Rubin a 10 point lead with 3 matches left.
Congrats Rubin

This AC Milan-Napoli match is incredeible. Lots of back and forth stuff. No goals yet, but definitely exciting.
Gattuso just went off on Hamsik after a rather tame foul. The Italian veteran definitely trying to get into the head of the young Napoli star.

32nd minute- Kaka looks good today, making some nice moves and showing off his underrated speed.
Napoli's best player so far has been Santa Croce, a real beast in defensive midfield.
Hamsik is hurt.
Posted by: Ives | November 02, 2008 at 03:05 PM
Hamsik almost looks like he's in tears. It's an ankle or possibly Achilles injury.
Posted by: Ives | November 02, 2008 at 03:06 PM
Hamsik is back on the field.
Posted by: Ives | November 02, 2008 at 03:07 PM
Napoli red card (Maggio)just before halftime. That's going to shake things up in the second half.

That's soccer:
Hamsik almost looks like he's in tears. It's an ankle or possibly Achilles injury.

Kaka will have an assist before the end of the game.
Posted by: Isaac | November 02, 2008 at 03:37 PM
Ronaldinho fantastic shot fantastic save
Posted by: Isaac | November 02, 2008 at 03:40 PM
Santa Croce is down.
Posted by: Isaac | November 02, 2008 at 03:42 PM
Santa Croce WANTED to come on but his coach wouldn't let him and subbed him off.

Jerry White scores winning goal for Aarhus against Califf's former squad. Hopefully he will get another call up to the Nats camp and look.

KAKA off the post and out WOW!
Posted by: Isaac | November 02, 2008 at 04:03 PM
Pato misses the header wide that was horrible.
Posted by: Isaac | November 02, 2008 at 04:04 PM
Penalty for milan
Posted by: Isaac | November 02, 2008 at 04:13 PM
Penalty SAVED! KAKA DENIED
Posted by: Isaac | November 02, 2008 at 04:15 PM
GOAL RONALDINHO! IT WAS FLICKED IN OFF OF RONALDINHO's FREE KICK! I think it was Denis
Posted by: Isaac | November 02, 2008 at 04:16 PM
WOW, Napoli saved a penalty.
Posted by: Igor | November 02, 2008 at 04:16 PM
Definitely Denis with the own goal. Great free kick by Ronnie D though.
Posted by: Isaac | November 02, 2008 at 04:19 PM
Ronaldinho had a really good game. Maybe he is finally getting back to form.

Taped the Milan-Napoli game this afternoon thanks to Ives' recommendation and watched it this evening during dinner. What an entertaining game! Thanks Ives. I have to get to the San Siro at some point in my life...
