Time to root for our AC MILAN!   It's Italian football in action and we need a victory after FC INTER lost yesterday against Chelsea. Jump in AC Milan bandwagon and let's support our Italian team.

Milan had a draw in the first friendly game in the USA LA GALAXY 2 - 2 AC MILAN.

Here is the official starting lineup for AC MILAN by coach Leonardo:

AC MILAN: Marco Storari, Luca Antonini, Alessandro Nesta, Giuseppe Favalli, Marek Jankulovski; Gattuso, Seedorf, Flamini, Zigoni, Filippo Inzaghi, Ronaldinho

Here is the official starting lineup for CLUB AMERICA by coach Jesus Ramirez:

CLUB AMERICA: Navarrete; Cerda, Rojas, Mosquera, Rodriguez; Reyna, Sanchez, Carlos Silva, Beausejour; Esqueda, Salvador Cabanas

All the best to Leonardo in his debut with AC Milan in this 2009 World Football Challenge. Forza Leo.

Guys, the first 10 minutes has been a total control by CLUB AMERICA. I am in disbelief watching how Milan is struggling. America is practically bombarding AC Milan goalkeeper Marco Storari in the 9th and 18th minute.

Uffa.. making matters worst, guys, AC Milan midfielder Mathieu Flamini who is super sweating, makes a bad tackle and is booked in the 27th minute!

Wow, wow, wow, guys, the 28th minute, a brilliant Clarence Seedorf  making a long range shot almost ending inside the net.  Unbelievable, guys, the ball in the last minute changed direction and went outside.  Seedorf could have passed the ball to Marek Jankulovski who was in a better position to score and Jankulovski asking Seedorf with gestures why he did not pass the ball. 

Uffa, another scary moment in the 29th minute when America forward Salvador Cabanas  had a clear chance to score and luckily for the Milanisti the ball went over the bar. 

Guys, Leonardo must change the module and have a more pressing tactic.  I see America is taking too much space.  Milan cannot concede so much space.  Hello, wake up MILAN!!!! 

In the 37th minute, an error by defender Marek Jankulovski trying to clear danger but sends the ball where Salvador Cabanas got it. Good that Giuseppe Favalli is closer to Cabanas to mark him. 

hey, hey, hey, in the 39th minute, almost the entire stadium stand up to applaud the long assist from Ronaldinho to Luca Antonini.  Guys, Antonini was by himself  unmarked but could not control the ball well and shoots over the bar!!!

In the 44th minute another attempt by Ronaldinho with a freekick, though, directly to the hands of America goalkeeper.

Hey, guys, LEONARDO must give a super talk to the rossoneri in the second half.

Second half and is the debut of USA defender Oguchi Onyewu welcome by a standing ovation from fans.  Oguchi making his debut with AC Milan.  Oguchi substituted Alessandro Nesta

In the 56th minute, guys, I jumped from my seat to say NO NO NO NO NO NO NO !!!  Guys, an assist by Salvador Cabañas to Enrique Esqueda and bam bam bam blasting AC Milan goalkeeper Marco Storari.

what??!!!  Hello, what's going on!  Guys, Gattuso the roaring lion is taking the match so seriously and gets mad. Now, he kind of wants to fight with an opponent and Ronaldinho has to come to separate and calm the situation. wow, wow, wow, now all Milanisti regroup around Gattuso to calm him down.  It is because a tackle and an opponent  tries to contest Gattuso and that just was enough for Gattuso to lose his temper. .  Gee,  Referee gives him a yellow card.

Leonardo makes sign from the bench, a gesture of "basta, basta, basta," meaning to cool down that enough is enough.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, guys PO PO PO PO PO  GOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL  in the 66th minute it is the one and only SUPER FILIPPO INZAGHI to equalize the score after an assist by Mathieu Flamini.  Bravo Inzaghi, SUPER PIPPOOOOOO

Guys, I love it how all the players celebrate and even Leonardo joined the group.

In the 73rd minute, Ignazio Abate makes a long range pass to Super Pippo Inzaghi but ends in the hand of goalkeeper Navarette!  Guys, Abate apologizes and making a sign to Inzaghi. Hello, guys, it was a good assist missing only few inches

Three minutes later, Leonardo makes another substitution. Brings Strasser and out Gennaro Gattuso. Good decision because Gattuso was losing his temper and risking a red card.

In the 81st minute, Club America makes a substitution. Mosquera out, Rodrigo Inigo in.

Oh noooooo!!!!  In the 83rd minute, Marquez with a headed goal in the second post blasting AC Milan goalkeeper Marco Storari. Not even by making a super stretch Storari could reach that ball .

In the 91st minute, Oguchi makes a perfect pass to Zigoni and blew this chance.

U N B E L I E V A B L E ... AC  Milan losing to Club America just like our cugini FC Inter. 

I am not happy at all with this result. NOT AT ALL.     What a challenge now guys, Milan will need to beat CHELSEA and guess who is coaching Chelsea?  YEP!!! OUR BELOVED EX AC MILAN COACH CARLO ANCELOTTI!!!!!  It will be a duel between Leonardo and Ancelotti.  Oh my gosh!!!!   Prepare your AC Milan flags and get ready to jump in Milan bandwagon  to root for our rossoneri... though, it breaks my heart to fight against Ancelotti... uffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
