Match report: Bologna 0 - Milan 0


  • Goals scored: None
  • What happened: Milan controlled the ball for almost the entire game, passing it around to each other in the middle of the field. Ronaldinho hit the crossbar, Ambrosini hit right where the goal post meets the crossbar. Bologna occasionally counter-attacked. No one scored.
  • Things I have never seen before: Milan wearing red shorts (see photo above); newly signed Mancini starting for Milan.
  • Things I have not seen in a long time: Bonera back from injury.
  • Milan players who did well today: Pirlo, Abate
  • Milan players who basically did nothing worth mentioning today: Ronaldinho, Seedorf, Borriello
  • Milan players who are still injured: Pato, Nesta
  • Bizarre interruptions to the broadcast on Fox Soccer Channel: In the 81st minute, the broadcast signal abruptly changed to C-SPAN, where Senator John McCain was talking in a Senate committee room. Then it changed to the Emergency Alert System, on which Civil Authorities were broadcasting a Required Monthly Test. About one minute of the game was interrupted. I was hoping that Milan would score during that time, but they didn't.
  • What this match teaches us: Sometimes scoring goals seems easy, and sometimes it doesn't.
There is really no point in posting highlights today.
