Roma’s Balls Deflated in 15 minutes.

Roma were seemingly comfortably in control of three points and steering out a victory with two goals thanks to Marco Borriello and an own goal by Matteo Rubin. Ranieri’s comical rant centered on his players’ testicles had 15 minutes to prove to the journalists that…in fact his players do have balls…or they would show their balls…reproductive sacks…Ranieri on verge of tears prompted by his players lack of sacks…sorry, yes there were 15 minutes standing in the way of Roma and their ball sacks.

However! In 15 minutes one Marco Di Vaio struck twice. Two balls from Di Vaio showed Roma had…no balls? Or did it show plainly that Phillipe Mexes is an all but insufficient backup for the Argentine Nicolas Burdisso? Roma’s defensive frailties aside, the stabbing sensation of losing a two ball lead with fifteen minutes to go thanks to two balls from a product of the Lazio youth system must be unbearable.

Even with Ranieri Roma are incapable of a solid defensive unit. Against Bayern Munich, two balls were leaked in the final 12, and let’s never forget the PANATHINAIKOS debacle. PANATHINAIKOOOOOS. Curiously enough one Phillipe Mexes was charged with holding the line in that event as well.

Bologna should find themselves full with pride after this performance. It should be noted that Bologna could have snatched all 3 if it weren’t for a post and two clear penalty decisions that went the other way. The team has been fortified quite a bit from last year and with the introduction of the Sardinian Sergio Porcedda we should find salvation a bit easier this time around. Promising loan additions of Rene Krhin (Inter) and Albin Ekdal (Juventus) whom have yet to feature due to injuries should bolster the squad ahead of a long season.

Three games and 2 points to show for it. Not bad when you think we took those points off of last years European Champions and the sackless Roma. Sure we took a 3-1 beating at the hands of Lazio but it wasn’t as bad as this…
