GREAT football. Despite Inter's early goal they didn't hold back, and the attacks followed each other in both ends of the field. And in the end Vieri scored and incredible header... Absotulely brilliant football.
(Edit: comments after full time).
After 60 mins of great football the worst sides of the Italian football - acting and violence - showed up. By acting injured and falling on purpose trying to get freekicks and penalties, certain players seem to gotten really bad rep in the eyes of referees. Totti did that numerous times, but when he really was taken down inside the penalty kick area, referee didn't give penalty shot but insted he gave Totti a yellow card for acting. And when Inter got 3-1 lead Roma's players didn't even try to catch Inter anymore, rather than started to show their frustration by plain stupic violent behaviour
