Not another WINGER goes injured please!   

well, Park isn't performing that well, according to him.

so, I'm guessing Giggs and Nani on the flanks. Obotak? HELL NAW HE AIN'T PLAYING (because SAF doesn't trust him D: )

Euro 2012 qualifier - 12/10/10 (20.25 UK)    
Italy A-A Serbia
Stadio Luigi Ferraris

Scottish referee Craig Thomson has called off Italy-Serbia after Serbian hooligans smashed parts of the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. The Azzurri should receive a 3-0 victory.

The qualifying campaign continued with some changes from the side that drew 0-0 with Northern Ireland. Daniele De Rossi was injured, while Marco Borriello and Simone Pepe dropped to the bench in favour of Gianluca Zambrotta and Sampdoria duo Angelo Palombo and Giampaolo Pazzini. Serbia also made adjustments following their shock 3-1 home defeat to Estonia, but kept in Serie A stars Dejan Stankovic and Milos Krasic.

The game nearly didn't go ahead at all. Serbian fans invaded the team bus, throwing smokebombs and injuring goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic, who as a result was not even on the bench. Hooligans cut protective nets, smashed the plexiglass walls and hurled objects at police and opposition supporters, forcing riot police to intervene, even if they did not charge. UEFA delegates insisted the game go ahead in this chaotic atmosphere.

Things weren't much better on the pitch once it kicked off, as Rajkovic was booked for an horrific tackle on Andrea Pirlo that might've warranted a straight red card after two minutes. Moments later Pazzini wanted a penalty for a shove in the back, but the Scottish referee waved play on.

Leonardo Bonucci had the ball in the back of the net, but was clearly offside from Giorgio Chiellini's assist.

Play was halted again after six minutes when flares were thrown on to the pitch, just missing Emiliano Viviano. After several minutes of debate in the centre-circle, the referee decided that was enough.
Italy: Viviano; Zambrotta, Bonucci, Chiellini, Criscito; Mauri, Palombo, Pirlo, Marchisio; Cassano, Pazzini

Serbia: Brkic; Ivanovic, Lukovic, Subotic, Kacar; Stankovic, Kuzmanovic; Krasic, Tosic, Rajkovic; Mrdja

Ref: Thomson (Sco)

IMO it is good if Park is injured. More chances for Obertan to make an appearance. Since Park a little a bit off for this earlier stage of this season , let Sir Alex re introduce him back. 

what happened to vidic? he wasn't even on the bench according to the list Soccernet provided

Serbia will be without suspended Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic but Petrovic remains confident of his side's chances despite the shock defeat toEstonia.

sad if it is true....

Vida was suspended for the game so he won't play anyway

Now those silly actions from the Serbian fans could cost their team if UEFA decide to give Italy the default 3-0 victory.

Anderson-hints-on-Man-United-exit

Manchester United midfielder Anderson has revealed that he hopes to return to Porto at some stage.

The Brazil international moved to Old Trafford from the Portuguese giants for £17.5m in 2007.

He enjoyed a productive opening to his Red Devils career, but has suffered with injuries and a loss of form over recent seasons.

A reported bust-up with boss Sir Alex Ferguson during pre-season has seen him slip further down the pecking order, making just four appearances in all competitions this term.

The 22-year-old has now hinted that he may be prepared to move on in search of regular first-team opportunities.

He admits that a second stint at Porto would certainly appeal to him, but has given no indication as to when he would like to make such a move.

"I am good in Manchester but I'd like to return to Portugal and my preference would be Porto. I love the country," said Anderson.

Misfiring England striker Wayne Rooney insists he has no issues with his fitness following Tuesday's draw with Montenegro.

Fabio Capello's side could only manage a goalless stalemate against the fledgling side in Euro 2012 qualifying action at Wembley, with Manchester United man Rooney missing a couple of crucial chances in an all-round below-par performance.

The 24-year-old, who has been surrounded by media allegations regarding his private life of late, was withdrawn by Sir Alex Ferguson for United's most recent two matches, with the manager putting his absence down to an ankle injury.

However, speaking after Tuesday night's clash, Rooney insisted he is firing on all cylinders and has not missed a training session this season.

"I felt sharp tonight," Rooney told Sky Sports News.

"(I had) a couple of chances, the first one maybe I could've done better. The keeper made a good save on the second one.

"I've been training for the last two months, I haven't missed a training session.

"So I've got no problems with my fitness."

seems many wingers out injured. last season it is defence. what is this pattern

On a frustrating day for United's international contingent, only one Red sampled victory in the Euro 2012 qualifiers. Elsehwere, Chicharito continued his hot streak for Mexico with his fourth goal in five internationals...

Chicharito was the only United player to score in Tuesday's international calendar, as Mexico were held in a friendly with Venezuela in Juarez. The United striker headed home a simple finish to bring his side level, but El Tri ultimately had to make do with a 2-2 draw with the 10-man visitors.

Darren Fletcher’s Scotland came within 10 minutes of an unforgettable result against Spain. Craig Levein’s side had roared back from two goals down to level at 2-2 midway through the second half, only for Fernando Llorente to volley home a late winner.

Rio Ferdinand captained England against Montenegro for the first time since officially taking the role, but he, Wayne Rooney and the rest of Fabio Capello’s side were frustrated in a tepid goalless draw at Wembley. Rooney had two openings, but was twice denied by visiting goalkeeper Mladen Bozovic.

The Republic of Ireland withstood a late onslaught to draw 1-1 in Slovakia. John O’Shea completed the entire match and Darron Gibson was a 41st minute substitute for Giovanni Trapattoni’s side, who might have taken all three points had Robbie Keane’s penalty not been saved.

Northern Ireland followed their creditable draw against Italy with a 1-1 draw with the Faroe Islands. Jonny Evans completed 90 minutes, while Corry Evans was a late substitute in a frustrating match for Nigel Worthington’s side.

Nani couldn’t repeat his goalscoring heroics of Friday’s win over Denmark, but he looked lively and completed 87 minutes as Portugal notched a 3-1 win in Iceland to breathe new life into their qualifying campaign.

Disturbances among the travelling Serbian supporters meant that Italy’s clash with Nemanja Vidic and his colleagues was abandoned. The Naples match lasted just eight minutes before it was halted.

Ji-sung Park missed South Korea’s goalless draw with Japan due to a minor knee injury.

Chris Smalling, Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck all started for England under-21s as Stuart Pearce’s side notched a goalless draw in Romania. That assured a 2-1 aggregate victory and takes the Three Lions through to next summer’s European Championships.

if its true another failure from brazillian in man utd history...

more like a failure from brazilian in EPL history

samba football+english style of football often means fail
