I wasn't all that impressed with the tourney so I will give Ancelotti B and a C to Ranieri and D to Mourinho based only on this 3 game performance.

Nina I disagree with your grading on Ancelotti "B", can you elaborate on why?
Gee... wow, you were even tougher with Mourinho getting a "D" I thought Milan99 was tougher LOL better watch out because Mourinho will contest your grade.

Anna based on the 3 matches, here are my grades:
Ancelotti = A because he was able to present a good formation despite all injured and absent players. Man, but especially for his strategic changes by using Seedorf as support of Paloschi, both making the difference.
Good also for testing Kalac and Abbiati. Digao, wow, Ancelotti had guts to let him shoot a penalty and thanks God the man did not miss it.
Few mistakes but the overall Father Ancelotti proved to be "the Special One and best strategist."
Ranieri = B+ Man, i was surprised he did not start with Del Piero-Trezeguet in the match against Milan, though you must have been happy LOL. Ranieri without talking too much or added nicknames also proving to be "the Special mister. LOL
Mourinho: C, man, the guy talked so much about being spied and what he presented was not even worth to go to see at their trainings. He had the gut to invite Father Ancelotti to go observe their trainings, man, should be Mourinho going to Milanello to learn from the best. Using also Mutarelli for a penalty man, the guy only trained 1 day and i better stop here because break is over LOL
The battle will be Milan-Juve.

LOL U Reminded ME OF SCHOOL!!!
Ancelotti: get an A because the results though was won well deserved and I'm convinced but don't forget that we won on penalties so not an A+. BUT I'M SOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!
Mourinho: C- because HE WAS A BIG BIG DISAPPOINTMENT TO EVERYONE!!!!
Ranieri: B+ because he did he job well but Milan were more motivated!!!

Milan99 precisely I thought about you returning to school in mid August LOL. So why not practicing the "grade system" LOL
Poor Mourinho got only a C- maybe he comes to school with his parents to contest the grade LOL
Ranieri B+ I can handle this... yes,
Ancelotti, A, yes, I can handle that too.
How about giving Ancelotti a "shinning star" on his report card too.

Anna, u made me feel like the teacher for the first time!!! I wish I'm the one that give grades and in that way A+++++ for MILAN99 LOL!!!
No to be honest I'd give Mourinho a B- but he was a disappointment big time!!! he sure need to bring his Father Moratti to defend him!!!!lol

My grades will be:
Ancelotti: A He organized a team without his main forwards and use goalkeepers properly.
Mourinho: C Showed poor judgment and not right formation.
Ranieri: B+ I think he should have started with Del Piero to push the team.
Surprised milna99 giving even a B- to Mourinho, I won't because he was a disappointment on both matches.

I understand u Mark! True we all expect more from Mourinho but I gave him c- at first because I was SOOOO DISAPPOINTED but after watching the vids, Mourinho did well enough to get a B- because its his first chance against Milan and Juve sure u and many other Inter fans expect a VICTORY but its not easy and u know that more than I do because u know the Italians more than I do!!!
