Watching the game right now on Rai. Hoped Antunes played from the 1st minute. CAssetti is in his place so will see if antunes gets to play in the 2nd half. SO far, Roma is dominating, aggressive. Beware of Bellucci.

It will be wrong from Spalletti not to include Antunues, he already played twice and showed his potential. I am happy for Roma winning right now, but has not been a great match, just so and so. What's your take guys?

Now we are speaking Italian, With Roman Emperor Totti X or Rome!!!

Roma was not convincing. Ferrari with a shot on goal? Having to substitute striker Vucinic? Too predictable. I expected a convincing performance at least at the olimpico. And against 10 men from Samp, barely winning. I can only imagine and would have hoped Cassano played to see if Roma really could have won 2-0. I hope Cassano plays in the return match.

Ricardo15 I agree. Roma was not convincing at all! Yet, I am happy for the victory and seeing TOTTI scoring. Roma still need to recover and return playing like they started in the beginning of the Season...

I am very happy to see a Roma win, it seems like it has been awhile. Not the most convincing win, but I will take it. I enjoyed watching some great passes from Totti, I missed those, and seeing him score. Suri should be happy.

Kenntak Suri would be happy for three things Roma win and Totti great performance and now Inter win. Congrats Suri!!!

Hey, Milan 99,
yes, I am very happy and all those three things i did not really expect!
Reply to this
Well Congrats!! though we all disagree with you on Inter part but we all respect your opinion.

I agree man, not a great match but i bet Milan would have love winning like Roma. I thought about you and Suri too when seeing Totti scoring. At least we all are happy for Roma and sad for MIlan, i think Suri was for Inter?

WOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! WHAT A HAPPINESS, what a DAYDREAM it is to hear that my IDOL TOTTI scored another TWO GOALS!!!!!!!!!

Suri, now in Week 36, time for ROMA to win without our beloved Totti. I am counting on DE ROSSI, MEXES, and MANCINI. How about you?
