Review: Worst Team in Sicily - Grande Milan

By: Steven | December 1st, 2008

You know…sometimes pictures say more than a thousand words…

Counting with Fabriz’: “Thies ies 1.”

“Ref, it’s for you. Mister Blackwell on the phone, he doesn’t like the matching colors.”

Jan-culo-vski: “If it’s got long hair, it’s a girl.”

“Marek, why are you cheating on me?”

“See that ugly motherfucker? He tried to touch my ass…”

“I love you guys!”

What I Liked:

Marco Amelia. The transformation of the Horny Housewife is unbelievable. From a guy with zero self esteem, to football hero in three games.

The return of the real Marco Bresciano. This is why we bought him, this is why he still gets playing time and this is why my 2006 Bresciano-shirt hasn’t been torched yet.

Antonio Nocerino and Edison Cavani, because they finally showed their real powers.

Fabrizio Miccoli, for being Fabrizio Miccoli.

And last but not least, the entire backline. But especially Moris. Cassani was awesome, Balzaretti was an extra attacker and Bovo kept it thighter than a 13-year old’s ass, but Moris is a real Palermo-hero. Moris Carrozzieri, per sempre uno di noi!

What I Didn’t Like:

Substitutions in the 85th minute when you’re already 3-1 up.

Pagelle:

Amelia 8: One hell of a match. Stopped an imaginary penalty, and was only beaten by a second imaginary penalty.
Cassani 7: Great performance, caused danger when he moved upfront. Slowed down a little in the second half.
Carrozzieri 8: I think we have found the new Eugenio Corini. I really do.
Bovo 6: Did well, but looked a little slow.
Balzaretti 7: Same as Cassani. +0.5 for his assist on the 3-0.
Nocerino 7: Finally a good Noce-game. Still not Gattuso, but who cares?
Liverani 6,5: Nice assist, bu he’s so unbelievably slow…
Bresciano 7: Great game, even with a flu on his body.
Simplicio 7: Caused danger from the start, easy but merited goal.
Guana: senza capelli
Cavani 7: Finally the real Cavani…
Succi: senza vota
Miccoli 8: Fantastic game. Another Palermo hero.
Kjaer: senza vota

All. Ballardini 7,5: Finally showed what he can do when his team is fully fit.

Giornata 13’s Androberto Guarraciolo Award:

Rolandinho. Dude, really, two dives? Fuck off!
