Coppa Italia Final 2020 - Juventus vs. Napoli - 3 PM EST/ 8 PM BST

Many good games today. Hard to pick, but this will probably be another dull one. Juventus to win from the penalty spot.
 
I'm hoping Lobotka makes the squad tonight.
 
This on right now? Given the garbage front line Arsenal are playing against City, this will probably be the better match. See Ronaldos playing as the central striker, be interested to see how that goes. Probably where he'll l end up given they have Douglas Costa, bernadeschi, and Dybala who all can play wide too
 
What’s going on in the stands. It looks like fans waving paper but obviously there are no fans. It’s very distracting / messing with my eyes.
 
Old man buffon with 2 good saves. Mad that he's still starting for a team like Juve at 42.

Commentator said they have few more different computer outputs for the "fans". So hope they will hit "dance lambada" or just "sit down and watch the game" button in the second half.
 
Why the do all these teams park the entire bus in their half whenever they play Juve? I would expect this from some of the lower teams but not from Napoli and not in a cup final either. Makes the whole thing so boring to watch.
 
Mourinho would be proud of this Gattuso bus :lol:

Such a different game from when Napoli had Ancelotti earlier in the season and they lost 4-3 to Juve.
 
Surprised they're playing it this early, are they in Rome?

Thought they might've waited for a few months like Spain are and try to get some fans back in.
 
Quite a boring final so far. Napoli the better side in the second half imo.
 
Terrible commentators (ESPN). Probably doesn't help not to have crowd noise piped in. Or, like on NBCSN, have the crowd noise dubbed in. Gotta be a bit distracting for the players, not getting any extra emotion or oomph.

Because i thought they may have another game. Don't they have that in Spain?

I didn't watch the whole game, was more into the City-Arsenal game. They are friendlies at this point, but for penalties i would tune in.
 
That Jorginho penalty thingy looks so effective.
 
This could be over quicker than expected :lol:

What you mean with "They may have another game"?

No extra-time in a cup final feels wrong regardless of the situation.
 
Since September I said this Juve team was getting away with lucky results and they were horrid. Some people tried to debate me on it but my point has been proven.

There is a strong possibility they lose the Seria A as well.

In fact if not by unbelievable luck they should be where inter is right now.

The team is worse then when Allegri was at the helm.

Sack Sarri and get it over with, he’s not good enough for this level.
 
Napoli. :D Get their revenge on Higuain and Sarri at long last.

Another time in a shoot out Ronaldo is ready at number 5 but dosen't get the chance to take one.:lol:
 
Man, really enjoyed that game. First game since the return I can really say that about. Had some real drama, big moments, tense, heroism, great stuff by Buffon at the end of stoppage time there and a nasty penalty to finish it all off.
 
Sarri really doesn't seem to be getting the full use of the Juve players. Napoli did really well though, congratulations to them.

I hate to be that guy :lol:, but this isn't the first time that Ronaldo has chosen to be the 5th guy in a shootout and doesn't get to take one because his team mates miss. You really should be asking your best pen taker to be up front and not waiting until the end. You're wasting having him on the team by letting him do that.
 
This loss will sting Sarri a bit more, on a personal level, considering he was defending himself against the Italian media just days ago when they called him out on his lack of trophies, and the best response he could muster was that he'd been responsible for several promotions :lol:
 
You would think Ronaldo would have learned his lesson.

I agree and I disagree.

The hardest penalty to take whether to tie it or if it’s to win it is the 5th penalty.

The first penalty won’t dictate anything because anything can happen in the next 4.

You either take the first or the last as the best player/penalty taker.

For example say a World Cup or euro final is on the line or CL final on the line there is no one else you would want to take that last penalty then a guy like Ronaldo.
