My AC Milan v. Real Madrid match commentary (first half)

Things to keep in mind while reading: 1. I take back every negative thing I said about Milan 2. Most of you will not find this post interesting at all

These are my actual comments (I wrote them down as I watched):
3:12- they say "Ronaldinho" differently here
3:15- Milan is already barely keeping the ball out
4:24- I actually like some of the other players on Real
4:50- Iker!! I forgot about him!
5:06- I haven't seen Pato's wife on TV here
5:20- this isn't the San Siro, is it? That's a shame...
5:33- They're new uniforms aren't that bad
6:00- Ronaldinho looked like he was trying so hard, but they took the ball so easily.... :(
6:27- I feel pessimistic
6:38- sometimes they call Ronaldinho "Ronaldo Gaucho" here, and "Gaucho" doesn't sound like you think it does
7:12- I'm not as nervous as I think I should be... :?
7:37- Nesta's back??!?!?!!?!
8:04- watching alone sucks...
8:17- remember how excited we were when Zambrotta came?
8:34- "Olha Kaká" - the announcer
8:52- Pirlo's hair is still really floppy
9:10- the other day, somebody quizzed me on my knowledge of Milan players (because of my shirt) and I passed.
10:05- Pirlo, was that a shot?
10:35- I can actually understand what the announcer is saying...!
11:11- Xabi Alonso plays for Madrid?
11:25- this Milan team is kinda old... but remember Maldini? Me too.
11:42- Saveeeee! Dida! :)
12:09- Why does Real always have the ball?
13:15- Zambrotta!!!?!?! How could you do that? You can't do that! That's a PK... cruddd.... :(
14:05- What a weird collar on Milán's uni... :?
14:10- magic spray!
14:40- Pato is the brown haired version of someone I know!
14:58- "Olha Kaka... Kaka... Kaka... Kaka... Kaka..."- announcer. Her must have said "Kaka" about 15 times in one minute :P
15:51- Xabi looks pink
16:04- they said "Galliani!"
16:45- I'm trying to see how Kaká relates to the "other" team...
17:00- nice cross by Seedorf!
17:57- How did you give that away Pato?
18:12- WHAT!?!?! NOOOOOOOOO!!! How did he let that bounce off!! DIDA!!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT!?!?!!??
19:08- who'se fault is this?
19:29- I knew that was going to happen...
20:34- Pippo...
21:03- Where is Cristiano Ronaldo?
21:10- I don't think Leonardo's going to be around much longer..
21:38- Kaká was MUCH cooler when he played fo Milan... I miss him :(
22:36- I just saw a replay of the goal. Dida screwed up. You don't let those rebound...
23:18- Thiago Silva doens't inspire my confidence...
23:37- Do you think that Kaka our Ancellotti's leaving made a bigger difference?
24:24- That could have been something... They need more people up front
25:26- Nice back pass by Zambrotta!
25:40- ughh... counterattacks....
26:05- Bah!
27:53- hehehe, I am watching the game live!
29:11- "Zambrotta e Kaka!"
29:42- Milan isn't chance-less
31:19- Who's that guy that looks like Robinho on Real? It isn't him, right? He plays for Man City, right?
31:58- hehe, this is the same broadcast as ESPN, I think! Because the "shot's on target" was in english
33:16- Nesta
33:37- I love how the Real fans whistle at Ronaldinho. Is this because of Barça, do you think?
34:26- Quero ir pra Holanda! These Dutch people are just too cool :)
35:26- Nice marking, boys *sarcasm*
36:02- look, Kaká looks sad
36:03- :)
36:30- Milan have nobody up front!
37:41- Ha! When you get fancy, you mess up! Haha!
38:10- What is that guys name?
38:41- Wait? Where the heck is Gattuso!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!!?
39:06- Run! Don't just stand there!!!
39:42- Omg! I just remembered I have to go to Jump! Crap, I'm not gonna get to see the rest of the game...Maybe I'll skip Jump..
40:44- was that a shot or a pass? It was terrible as either :/
41:18- Kaka has his sleeves rolled up
41:45- is this still the group stage? good.
42:42- too close... yikes..... argh
43:42- too close de novo! at least Dida didn't mess up this time...
44:31- Aghhhhhhhhhhh! Don't give up another goal before the half. do not!!!
45:00+0:07- One more minute...
45:00+0:27- Aghh! This is pathetic. Too close again!
45:00+0:59- Oh my Goddddd....

Half Time:
-I love the CL anthem! :)
-I have to go to Jump. I can't believe I'm missing my chance to see Milan.
-Nadal! Nadal is here! :)
-The Milan players in the tunnel look depressed...

45:56- Pato's so fast, but with the ball he looks lost.
46:28- they just can't keep the ball...
46:44- ...and it starts again...
46:56- isn't Raúl old or something...?
47:57- they yellow dudes (security) on the side are all turned around to watch the game, haha
48:25- Juve is winning against some nothing team... They got lucky with their group! :P
49:22- Pato...
49:30- "Olha Kaká!" - announcer
50:20- Dida! :) But who was the Milan player who totally missed...
50:43- a shot! :)
51:05- Can we try something? A full minute with a Real Madrid shot.
52:08- Who's hurt? I missed it...

50 minutes later-
I saw the game through a window of a bar on the way to Jump and Milan was still losing. I'm worried.... :(
