		<description>I would have loved it only because we would have been able to put a silver star on our jerseys. (10 wins, baby) Maybe we can do it this season, it&#039;d be very nice to add a gold and silver star at the end, no?</description>

		<description>Oh Alessio, dont be coy. You know you would have loved it if Juve won the coppa italia last year.

And a win is a win, even if it comes during a meaningless cup tournament.</description>

		<description>Inter did beat Juve in a Coppa Italia game. Of course, we didnt play Udinese last year in Coppa Italia so who knows how that would have gone.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s obvious that the wrong team went through to the semifinals. 

Although they might not have been absolutely brilliant against Belgium, Italy deserved to advance ahead of a dirty side that should rightly have conceded about 4 penalties throughout the course of the game. 

I doubt Nigeria would have dominated Italy.</description>

		<description>All I hope is that Totti stays &quot;uninjured&quot; through out the season, and Riise plays well, and Baptista finds form, and Roma get the Scudetto pretty simple! Forza Roma... R.I.P Presedinte!</description>

		<description>Well, gianfranco, sometimes a change of scenery does good things for certain players, and they experience a Renaissance of sorts. So maybe that&#039;ll happen with Riise. As long as his leg still works, anything can happen. Speaking of players experiencing a Renaissance due to change in scenery, Gila&#039;s going to be one of them, I think.</description>

		<description>Riise really, you do realize that this is the same guy that barely sniffed the first team at Pool last season for long spells.  The same guy who fell in out of favor with Benitez, who pulls his lineups out of hat, the same guy that opened the door for Chelsea to the final.  If I was a Roma, thank god I was not given that harsh fate, I would hope this guy was on the bench...</description>

		<description>Juventus hasn&#039;t lost to Inter in 2 years either... :) but I guess if we said that we could include every C1 team too.</description>
