Juventus vs Bologna (Coppa Italia, Thursday: 8-Dec-2011)


Juventus vs Bologna
Round-of-16 of Coppa Italia
Thursday: 8-Dec-2011, Nouvo Stadio di Juventus
20:00 GMT (23:00 KSA)

Juve is back!:-
Juventus' great form lately caught the eye of many football supporters worldwide, I am not saying that "Il Bianconero" is an up-and-rising team; on the contrary, Juve are back. And when I say back, I mean "winning trophies" back.

Another controversy?:-
Lately in Italy, last Tuesday to be exact, there have been accusations that referees in Italy are favoring Juve. For example, the penalty kick that was awarded to "La Vecchia Signora" didn't exist; that's what the papers said. In my opinion, many teams around the world lately have been awarded a "hand" by match officials; I'm not saying it's match-fixing. No! What I mean is, in every league in the world some referees add a couple of seconds to the remaining time, give non-existing fouls/penalty kicks, or even rule the other team offside when the play is clearly "safe." Bottom line is, Juventus have made crucial changes and now they're "gaining profit from their investment."

Prediction:-
Juve will win by a comfortable margin, they have a good squad. With Del Piero's recent come back from injury; I believe "Il Bianconero" will ease past Bologna. Winner: Juventus.

Have a nice day!

  2. I actually agree Jimmy, Juve, as I mentioned in the article, are gaining profit. They changed so many coaches, players, and even general directors in order to rise again. And now, we're witnessing the "mighty" Juve again.
    Yeah, and by the way, this is actually good for italian football.
