Juve takes control as Milan slips up again
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 24 - 04 - 2012

Juventus took control of the Serie A title race with a 4-0 victory over Roma Sunday as AC Milan slipped up again in a 1-1 draw at home to Bologna.
It was Juve's sixth win in a row and opened up a three-point lead at the top with five games left.
It also has a better head-to-head record, meaning Milan needs to make up four points to hold onto its scudetto crown.
Juve coach Antonio Conte said he doesn't even want to think about what Milan is doing.
“We have to look after our own affairs, we're ahead now and we're masters of our own destiny,” he said.
“It's useless looking at the others and we'll keep going this way to the end.”
Arturo Vidal scored a brace and Andrea Pirlo added the other as Juve killed the game before the half hour mark with Claudio Marchisio rounding off the scoring after the break.
Milan slipped up for the third time in four matches as Gaston Ramirez gave Bologna a first half lead and Daniele Bonera was sent off for the hosts 10 minutes from time before Zlatan Ibrahimovic rescued a point.
Milan has only picked up five points from its last four league games and has only one win in six in all competitions.
Lazio squandered the chance to exploit Udinese's 0-0 draw at Chievo Saturday as an injury time strike by Valeri Bojinov earned Lecce a 1-1 draw in the capital.
The third-placed Romans are now three points ahead of Udinese and four ahead of Napoli, with five games to play in the race for Champions League football next season.
On a dramatic day, Genoa's clash at home to Siena was held up for 45 minutes as fans protested the hosts' performance – it was 4-0 down at the time – by throwing flares onto the pitch and climbing safety barriers. With Genoa losing 4-1 in the end, Lecce is now just one point from safety.
Brazil, Spain, Britain
seeded for Olympics
Brazil, Spain, Britain and Mexico have been chosen as the seeded teams for the men's Olympic football tournament and will be kept apart when the draw for the group stage is made Tuesday.
The draw will separate the European teams and the countries from Latin America.
Britain, which will have a men's team at the Olympics for the first time since 1960, will head up Group A. World champion Spain will headline Group D, while Brazil — the all-time top Olympic performer in men's football — will be the seeded team in Group C.
The last of the 16 teams in the men's draw will be decided when Oman and Senegal meet in the final qualifier Monday in Coventry's Ricoh Arena, one of the host venues for the Olympic tournament.
In the 12-team women's draw, reigning Olympic champion United States, world champion Japan and Britain are the seeded teams and will be kept apart in the four groups.
Former Brazil striker Ronaldo, who was part of the side that won bronze at the 1996 Atlanta Games, will assist at the draw at Wembley Stadium.
