so you are banking on pique doing the job on kaka? you're right that the defense wasn't up to snuff, but i'm not going to take anything away from that milan team. maybe the result would have been different if we had zero injuries and had a decent run ahead of time, but life is never that easy and it requires the fill-ins to do the business. heinze was more than qualified, but vidic coming right off of injury didn't help. the planets aligned for milan and that's the end of it. we didn't have enough mental strength and experience to keep ourselves from being destroyed by the eventual champions, and i'd rather point to my teams inadequecies than to call it flip of the coin that we didn't have the full team on hand. we had the players, we just executed poorly.
