Maybe not everyone knows that the winner of the Italian Cup qualifies to the next season's UEFA Cup and that if the winner of the the Italian Cup is already qualified to next season's Champions League then it's the finalist of the Italian Cup who qualifies to the UEFA Cup.
Well, since the semifinals of the Italian Cup are Lazio-Inter and Catania-Roma, if Roma and Inter qualify to the final then no club reaches the UEFA Cup through the Italian Cup, cause both Roma and Inter are already qualified to the Champions League, and authomatically the 7th club of serie A's table qualifies to the UEFA Cup (and the 8th club qualifies to Intertoto). If at least one between Lazio and Catania qualifies to the final of the Italian Cup then the 7th club of serie A qualifies to Intertoto.
Right now we are certain of the 7th place (which gives us a place in the next Intertoto) and we are 1 point below Udinese. Of course Inter and Roma qualifying to the final would give us a certainty of the UEFA Cup spot by now.
So, tonight it's FORZA INTER! and tomorrow night it's FORZA ROMA!
Unfortunately, while I'm confident that Roma will manage to qualify to the final cause they have won 1-0 the first game and Catania are thinking to the relegation battle, I'm more worried about Inter cause in the first leg at San Siro the score was 0-0, Mancini tonight will field mostly reserves and youngsters, while Lazio have nothing else to fight for and will field their best lineup.

Yes, and indeed I hope we turn it down in the case cause it's pointless to participate in the Intertoto if we are going to ridicule ourselves against an "Aalborg" in the first round of UEFA Cup. I don't want to sound arrogant but the difference in technical values was huge between Sampdoria and Aalborg, yet we managed to be eliminated the way just a team without the right motivations could. If there are no motivations to go on, then it's better to stay out from the start.

07/05/2008 - LE BUggggIE NO DAI...

ROMA - L’ex amministratore delegato della Juventus, Antonio Giraudo, e il commissario tecnico dell’Inghilterra, Fabio Capello, sono stati iscritti sul registro degli indagati della Procura di Roma per il reato di falsa testimonianza. L’accusa è dovuta a quanto dichiarato nell’ambito del processo Gea, che vede imputati, tra gli altri, Luciano e Alessandro Moggi.
DICHIARAZIONI - Il pubblico ministero Luca Palamara il 31 marzo scorso ha sollecitato l'invio al suo ufficio di copia del verbale di udienza perché le dichiarazioni di Giraudo contrastavano con quelle di Trezeguet. Quanto a Capello i frequenti «non ricordo» che avevano caratterizzato al sua deposizione avevano indotto il pm a ritenerlo quanto meno reticente. Ora dopo avere esaminato le trascrizioni degli interrogatori avvenuti in aula e le carte processuali, Palamara ha deciso di iscrivere ambedue nel registro degli indagati.

07/05/2008 - the lies? No, come on

ROMA - the former managing director of Juventus, Antonio Giraudo, and the coach of England, Fabio Capello, have been accused of false testimony after their statements in the trial against Gea.
STATEMENTS - the prosecutor Luca Palamara on March 31 demanded a copy of the record of the hearing because what Giraudo declared was different from what Trezeguet had declared. As regards Capello the fact that he often answered "I don't remember" had induced the prosecutor to consider him at least reticent. Now after examining the records and the cards, Palamara has decided to charge both them for false testimony.

1-1 FT, Roma to the final

It's official: WE ARE IN THE UEFA CUP 2008/2009 :happy:

whether it will be 6th place or 7th place it doesn't matter, we had a great season. I would not mind overcoming Udinese in the final table, but it is not so important as we are qualified to the UEFA Cup anyway together with Udinese and probably Fiorentina.

and thank you, Roma, of course :pp:thumbsup:
