Suspect Device - Stiff Little Fingers

Match report: Juventus 0 - Milan 3

Below-- Gattuso in action

• Goals scored: Nesta 29', Ronaldinho 72', Ronaldinho 88'
• What happened: Second place Milan beat third place Juventus in Torino. Despite the excellent result, the match was sort of boring.
• How the goals were scored: All three goals were from corner kicks, which apparently Juventus do not know how to defend anymore. Actually, to be fair, I am not sure how well Juventus defended on the last goal, because the pitch was completely obscured, either by fog or else smoke from the fire set by angry fans. (See photos below)
• What this match teaches us: Milan are the only team left who can catch Inter.

Highlights are below:

The MLS Cup finals are set

Last night Real Salt Lake defeated the Chicago Fire 0-0 (5-4 on penalties) to earn a spot in the MLS Cup. Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando (above) stopped three penalty kicks at the end of the match to help his team advance. It is not known whether the King of Utah called Rimando personally to congratulate him on his heroic efforts.

The MLS Cup final will take place next Sunday in Seattle. It will feature Real Salt Lake versus the LA Galaxy.
