Footie news!

Panucci is injured and will not play for Italy this weekend. A bad foot, apparently.
Pancaro will replace him.

Yesterday was Dida's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIDA! He turned 30, hopefully Milan threw him a party because they owe him a lot.

Turkey is allegedly chortling with glee over the current chaos in England. Not very nice of them but any overconfidence or arrogance could be successfully manipulated by England.

Barca allegedy want Rui Costa and Milan is allegedly considering it. I don't like this, I want Rui in Milan for a long time! We need him no matter how brilliant Kaka is.

Rivaldo still considers his situation, "difficult and worrying."
Buddy, let me give you some advice. Milan is a business first and foremost. There are players that Milan would move heaven and earth to keep happy; Maldini - their bandiera and captain, Dida - probably the best GK playing in Italy, Nesta - the best defender of 2002-03 no matter what UEFA thinks, Pippo and Sheva - bloody phenomenal strikers, Kaka - just bursting with potential. They aren't going to lift a finger to ease your worries though. Milan will use you sparingly and let you go when it is most profitable for them to do so. That's life in the modern game!

Apparently Barca is waving Puyol at Milan. I know a Portugese club coach, maybe Benfica, is promising to bring Rui "home." I think Milan would be making a mistake in selling him.
