Bovo's departure is a big mistake but I'm sure Palermo have money to spend so they probably would have outbid Roma anyway.
Totti looked well below fitness today and has too much media pressure on him to perform. I hope he's dropped for the next match. Keep him safe for next season.
"It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you ..............."
People over here are not impressed that we let Bovo go so easily.. he is Romano e Romanista.. and then we bring back Ferrari! Its insane! What makes it worse is that it is not a technical choice but a matter of money! Only Roma would do something like this....
I'm disappointed Bovo has gone. He had real promise. Solid defending, great left peg.
What's wrong with the club? They are looking at almost certain CL qualification with Juve going down. That brings enough money that we could keep Bovo, surely?

Romanista sums it up for me. A potentially great left footed defender is allowed to leave without a fight when Roma are almost certainly in the Champions league. I thought our debt was nearly clear?
I hope there's a great alternative at a decent price?

The entire of Rome errupted last night when Totti scored the penalty! It was amazing! C'e solo un capitano! del Piero was useless.. Totti should have played from the start.

In the 1st half Del Piero's passes set up many chances all of which were screwed up. 2nd half he was poor but certainly not useless. Totti's only useful contribution was scoring the penalty.
I saw a list of players with Most Assists in one of the Sunday papers - and Totti was second.
So from the half-fit Totti that's two assists and one ice-cool penalty to fire his team into the quarters. Impressive for a player having a "bad tournament", eh?
For the British media to report that Totti is doing well he will have to score a hatrick in the final, finish as tournament top scorer, lift the trophy using just his little finger, and do the lap of honour floating gracefully at exactly 5 metres above the turf.
And even then John Motson will say he's been disappointing.

Del Piero was yet again annoymous, when Totti came on Italy started to look dangerous again, and then of course he look that penalty so well.
Totti isn't at his best but I think everyone is being quite harsh, he hasn't played for 3 months!
Man, when he stepped up to take the penalty, my stomach was in knots. I was thinking 'You better not try that f'n chip sh!t" And that coming from a Christian! LOL
He has got to start the next game! Even after 3 months off he still looked better than ADP against the Aussies.
But, whoever is starting and from whatever team--- FORZA ITALIA!!!
I'm not sure if Lippi will start with Totti against Ukraine. In fairness to Del Piero he was doing OK when it was 11 v 11. I'm not sure if Totti has 90mins in him at the moment. Lippi will probably decide to have Totti on the bench ready to come on and make the difference again as if necessary.
aww personally I was hoping for a chip, but hey a goal from a hard kick is better than not scoring and then getting a hard time from everyone from being cheeky.
Still I wanted a chip!!! He's so good at it
