International Break # 2
By: slakas | October 10th, 2012
International competition continues this week and next as several players are off around the world.
World Cup Qualifying
Europe
European qualifying continues Friday and Tuesday.
Montenegro
Stevan Jovetic and Stefan Savic have been called up by Montenegro Head Coach Branko Brnović for the start of WC qualifying group play. Montenegro are in Group H along with England, Ukraine, Poland, Moldova and San Marino and currently lead the group, although they are tied with England and Poland with 4 pts. Montenegro holds the goal differential lead with +6.
Montenegro and Poland do not play on Friday, England host San Marino and look likely to take the group lead, Ukraine play at Moldova and should get the three points, so there could be a three way tie for second place after Friday.
On Tuesday, Poland host England and Montenegro travel to Ukraine.
Serbia
Nenad Tomovic has been called up, but will likely sit on the bench in favor of ex-Viola Nastasic. Serbia lead their group, although they also are in a three way tie, with Belgium and Croatia and only hold the advantage by goal diff.
Serbia will host Belgium on Friday and travel to Macedonia on Tuesday. While Croatia travel to Macedonia and host Wales, Belgium hosts Scotland on Tuesday.
Italy
Only Emiliano Viviano has been called up by Prandelli and he doesn’t look to get any playing time. Italy lead group 2 by goal diff., tied with Bulgaria with 4 points, while Armenia is right behind with 3 pts.
Italy will travel to Armenia Friday, while Bulgaria hosts Denmark, who have 1 point. The Czech Republic, also with 1 point, will travel to Malta, who are bottom table with zero points. On Tuesday, Italy will host Denmark while Bulgaria travels to the Czechs. The other two teams are off.
South America
Colombia
Juan Cuadrado will be playing one match with second place Colombia as they host last place Paraguay.
Chile
Matias Fernandez, sporting the Captain’s Armband for Chile will play in two matches, at third place Ecuador on Friday and hosting group leaders Argentina on Tuesday. Matigol will be likely to play all minutes in both matches and will probably not be available for Fior’s next match.
Other Matches
Egypt
Ahmed Hegazy will be in two friendlies with Egypt, Iran and Tunisia.
Switzerland
Haris Seferovic has been called up for a home and away tie against Germany to qualify for the Under-21 European Championships.

yeah, it’s a very close and intense game. might be decided by a personal mistake.

back underway. 2 quick fouls on Napoli. Damato must have gotten the call that he’s not showing enough favor to Juvemerde
third straight foul. I was watching hotspurs v chelsea this morning. it’s funny because i saw so much contact that would immediately be called a foul in italy and sometimes maybe even a yellow card completely ignored by the english ref. kind of sad. fourth straight foul called on napoli. one finally given to Juve…
Pandev almost breaks through for a one on one on the goalie, but Marchisio shoulders him off the ball.
Giovinco with a chance right in front of goal and sends it wide. Gamberini on defense does just enough to shake him up.
Matri with Juve’s best chance gets behind the Napoli defense. All he has to do is tip it over the charging goalie, but he tries to bring it down and De Sanctis makes the save.I continue to be much less than impressed by Giovinco. Not sure what was going on at Parma to make him so strong, but it’s not happeneing at juve. (maybe it was the counter-game)
Juve score from the corner kick. Caceres, just subbed in, gets the header from Pirlo.
and a second from another sub, pogba. mark of a great squad, get played dead even for 80 minutes and then strike for two to finish it. -
Napoli choke hard.
-
juve score two goals in quick succesion, caceres and pogba. game over.
-
Game over for Napoli.
-
I’m really not enjoying this unbeaten streak but at least we are still the ones who scared the Gobbi the most.
-
milan with the bulk of possession but Lazio strikes first
-
Doveri fouling the lazio Milan game with bad calls and unnecessary cards
-
lazio get teh second goal
-
Milans defense is awful. It’s antonini-yepes-bonera-abate right now. My god. Where are Mexes and acerbi?
-
And bonera is captain! How the mighty have fallen!
-
Lazio winning is bad for us, right? I think at this point it’s obvious which of these teams is a bigger threat.
-
3-0
I almost feel bad for Milan. Almost.
-
Milan get one back with less than 30 min to go.
it’s way too early to worry about who does what. Just worry about Fiorentina winning and let the rest fall where it will.
but if you really want to play that game, a tie in each of the matches today would’ve been the best result (IMO) -
sharawi scores, 3-2. 15 minutes to go.
-
lazio hold on to win.
going to be a big test next week, of course it’s going to be a big test tomorrow as well.
-
We really, really could use 3 points tomorrow to keep up with the big boys.
-
If it wasn’t for Monto, I would actually feel sorry fro Milan.
-
3 points a must
-
I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.
ok, perhaps they had no choice with silva, but to ship off Ibra as well, that’s just plain stupid.
now, if they had no choice due to financial concerns then do it a lot earlier so you can bring in cheaper options and give the coach some time to work them into the team
also, if they had financial issues, it had to do with poor choices previously, so they still had no one to blame but themselves
-
think about it this way, with ibra, milan would have had a guaranteed top three finish, maybe even fight for scudetto, thus CL next season. with their current squad, it doesn’t look like they can make a top three finish, thus no CL next season. this means they will lose about 20-30 mill euros at least. i don’t know in what trouble they were financially, but by having sold ibra, they will lose even more money and not be able to compete for trophies for a while.
-
Not to mention their financial issues have a lot to do being owned by one of the most disgusting human beings on the planet. Don Silvio is far from broke but something tells me he’s keeping his money in Switzerland instead of Italy for good reasons.
-
defensively too. milan have given up 10 goals and are 16 behind Juve in goal diff.

dai ora nn facciamo paonrgai assurdi la grafica si semplice ma, mi sembra evidente, per questioni di scelte stilistiche (naturalmente condizionate dai limiti del wii, ma comunque scelte). E’ tutta l’impronta grafica da considerare: naturale che se non fai un’ambientazione iper-realistica da next gen, devi semplificare e puntare sul “fumettoso”. L’ importante l’omogeneit della scena, e anche lo stesso de Blob un classico esempio del gioco che contrasta gli altrimenti evidenti limiti tecnici con scelte stilistiche azzeccatissime, capaci, nella maggior parte dei casi, di far dimenticare la pochezza dei poligoni utilizzati.Poi, com’ naturale e trattandosi di gusti, ognuno lo pensa come vuole, l’unica cosa che non gradirei e che non sarebbe giusta marchiare come scarso e graficamente pessimo un gioco solo perch inizia per “Need for Speed” NB: preferite la grafica di Undercover?!?!?
