AC Milan vs. Manchester United Live!
We've already got one red team from England through to the final, can United make it two today? Let's hope so - AC Milan don't even deserve to be in the competition, to my mind.Here are the line-ups:
AC Milan: Dida, Oddo, Nesta, Kaladze, Jankulovski, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Ambrosini, Kaka, Inzaghi.
Subs: Kalac, Cafu, Gilardino, Favalli, Bonera, Serginho, Brocchi.
Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Brown, Vidic, Heinze, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Rooney.
Subs: Kuszczak, Ferdinand, Saha, Smith, Solskjaer, Richardson, Eagles.
Referee: Frank De Bleeckere (Belgium)

And we're off! And already Seamus Malin is bellyaching about the possibility of an all-English final. Silly sod - Liverpool vs. United won't be the bore-fest that Juve vs. Milan was.
And Kaka makes an ominous run down the right flank and has an early go. They'll definitely have to shut him down.
Dangerous free kick here in the third minute....
It comes out to Seedorf, who belts one straight at VDS - great save!
United really under the cosh here with the rain fairly felting down. That won't help the defenders. It's a big ask for Vidic tonight as he's just coming back from injury.
The commentators seem to be insistent on giving the negative stats. on United vs. Milan; e.g. United have never beaten Milan at the San Siro.
Hey, I am here
How is my radio star doing?
Thomas and Kathy have said United are living dangerously so far
Pirlo whips a ball in and Kaka is on the end of it. It didn't stretch VDS. But Heinze looks all at sea at left back. Pirlo and Kaka are carving him up.
Hey Dave! Good to hear from you. Yeah, your boys are just trying to weather the storm right, both literally and figuratively. Horrible weather.
Ronaldo doesn't seem to be able to keep his footing. Does he have long enough studs in? I'm constantly surprised when pros come on with the wrong equipment - don't they check that stuff in the warm-up?
Bugger
GOAL! It's Kaka again. Oh dear, sorry mate. That was coming.
Why don't they MARK HIM!!!!
He just scored his third goal against us!!!
Come on Rooney, match him
They need to get a grip of the game, dig deep, maybe just weather the first half, get in at half time and get some inspiration from Sir Alex. Early doors.
He's difficult to mark because he usually roams around in front of the front man or two, sometimes drifting wide. You'd have to stick someone on him. I've never fancied Carrick in that kind of role. He's more of a water carrier than a destroyer.
They are not up to it right now!!!
No, but the early goal might work for United. Howard Rogers on WSD was saying that Italian teams usually take their foot off the gas when they go a goal up. This might allow for a moment of brilliance from Roon or Ron.
I was worried about the yellow card situation with Ronaldo, Heinze and SCHOLES!!!
The weather makes it worse. Of course, it may not matter.
Hey, things weren't going well for an hour on Saturday
That's right. Better stuff from United there in midfield. But it's broken up by someone falling over again. Change the studs!
Why wasn't Gatusso booked there.
He hacked Ron down.
Gattuso should've picked up a yellow there. That was cynical. Free kick to come....oh, that should have been on target at least, even if it was offside.
Nice shot by Giggsy
That's when you wish Ryan Giggs could use his right foot for more than standing. He should've jinked out to the right and hit it with the right peg. Instead, the defender channeled him and he had to hit it from distance. Shame.
Howard is still on the United books? Honestly, sell the bloke, will you!
Nice run from Fletch.
United are back into it a little
This is better from United. I told you so. The Italian sides are lazy bastards - they don't want to do more than they need to. Just nick a goal and bolt the door closed. You'll have some chances here.
No, we sold him to Everton but it is going to be when the transfer window opens again
Nice one, ref. Waves play on there. A good sign.
So, why were they saying that Howard wasn't eligible to play against you lot?
Because he is still a United player until he CAN be sold in the transfer window
Oh, well, never mind.
Why are Giggs and Ron coming back to defend. Bloody hell?
ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC DEFENDING
What the hell are they doing
GOAL: Now Seedorf - terrible defending there. Wes Brown mainly - first he fell over and then his clearing header was straight to Seedorf at the top of the D. Seamus is right - that's just fundamentals.
What was Heinze doing passing it back within his own penalty area
$^^$#@^$#&%$#^*%
I'll say it again - AC Milan shouldn't even be in this match. They must be punished.
Now you lot need two - tough ask.
United are playing like CRAP
Have they passed to a teammate yet
Get one back before half time!
Corner to come...come on!
Sevilla vs. Osasuna tomorrow...zzzzz.
Vidic was just warned and what does he do? Fouls again
Dangerous free kick opportunity....and what was that?
Ooh, nearly a third. Again Heinze was completely stripped on the left. Oddo was unmarked.
Gattusso hacked him down again
MORE PATHETIC DEFENDING
Crikey! What was that!? Get Wes Brown off!
Okay, how fed up are you with this commentary. Even I'm yelling "Put a sock in it!" at the telly.
That was a good shot by Roon, shame it hit a defenders head
United were 2-0 down in Juve in the last semi final and won 3-2. Of course, we we had tied it up before half
Bit ambitious from Ron.
I can't stand listening to them. They are hopeless
Half time.
Not good
Half-time: It's hairdryer time for Fergie. Who would you give the flying boot to?
Were you surprised by the result yesterday?
Second half starting....come on you Red Devils!
Fletcher looks like he's had a bollocking...he's paler than ever.
Great cross but who's there for the header!?
Still pathetic
Some fire power on the bench for you lot - who would you use?
We just need a goal and then another one will come
If Scholesy had connected there, it would have been a straight red. X-rated stuff there.
The midfield has been pathetic.
Great save from VDS
I agree with Seamus - Vidic is not up to the job tonight. Kaka skinned him there and VDS kept you in it.
Why could Ron get that passed the defender for the shot
Take a shot Giggs
Free kick chance for Ron
but his shooting boots are off today
Nice move there but no end product.
Free kick here...it would lovely if Dida would drop one in the net as he's often prone to do.
Useless again
Corner now....and Dida holds it for once. Ironic cheers from the crowd.
Extravagant dive there from Ron, but you'll take it.
Free kick to come....
Why is he still on the field.
He just told the ref he got the ball.
Maybe Ron's balls
Against the wall again
The ref's not moving the wall back nearly enough. Every shot is going into the wall.
Ok, the last 30 minutes.
It is our time!!!
Time for the Italians to start diving
United's control is off as well tonight.
Very disappointing
Come on Fletch
PUT IT AWAY!!!
Oh, that was so close from Fletcher. Should've worked the keeper.
Again, great cross but no one there on the end of it. Where are you Ruud?
Great cross from Roon, where was someone.
Was that a foul? YES!!!
Penalty?
I agree!
United need to make this possesion count
You're really starting to stretch them. If you could score in the next few minutes, it could set up a grandstand finish. Come on!
Interesting substitution here - striker for striker.
Ronaldo has been pathetic
Oh, that would've been curtains. Kaka with a deflected effort.
Now why can't the 19 year old Ronaldo burn the 35 year old Nesta for pace there? I ask you!
Fifteen minutes left to salvage this one. Time for some heroics.
I don't see it
Gattuso wasting time again - get him off!
I'll bet you didn't see it coming in 99 at the Nou Camp.
Saha on for O'Shea - good move?
Sorry, mate.
Bloody HELL
You still only need two goals.
I agree... but it is over
I wouldn't give the ball back here - they're just wasting time. No way does Kaka have cramp after only 80 minutes.
Would I have Gattuso on my side? No, he's a thug.
COme on Giggs
WHat happened there.
Please don't book Ronaldo
Good - they didn't give the ball back and now there's some argy bargy about it. And Gattuso's going in the book. He should be off.
He's out of the final
Gattuso was incensed that United didn't give the ball back from the throw because Kaka was time wasting.
Now, Ron is out of the final. Yellow card.
so is every other united player
Gattuso's off now. Good. He's not really a footballer, just a hatchet man.
Oh ye of little faith. Still five minutes plus stoppage time to go.
Milan don't look that solid at the back. There will be chances.
More skill on the Milan team? I don't agree.
That's just sloppy American commentary. English sides - battlers. Italian sides - skillful.
I'm shocked that Sir Alex has thrown it in here. No Smithy? No Solsjaer? Come on Fergie!
Very upsetting.
Not a good display at all.
Let's hope that they are not bummed for the Mancs Derby.
I don't have a good feeling.
COME ON UNITED... WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
Well, that's it. Sorry, mate. You've still got the double to chase. That'll still be a tremendous achievemnet. I hate Milan. This result makes my loyalties in the final easy.
I hate to say it but I am rooting for Liverpool
Sorry, Dave. Just ran into the result on the Net. Saw the second half of the Liverpool / Chelski match yesterday. Liverpool dominated the play and deserve the final.
