Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch Milan at all this year. Al Jezeera bought the rights to Serie A from Fox Soccer, which used to broadcast almost every game here in the States. Now Al Jezeera has some obscure sports channel with not even half the market reach Fox had.

I have to say, though, another problem is that it's not the same old Milan anymore. Change is definitely a good thing for any sports franchise, but this is hardly the team of old. Homegrown, hardnosed talent like Seedorf, Gattuso, and Inzaghi just doesn't exist. I had high hopes for Pato but ego and injuries wrecked his career. When they let Pirlo walk and he joined Juventus I was shocked. They couldn't even hold onto Ibra for a significant amount of time (which also led to Cassano leaving, who was having a really nice resurgence with the club).

There's no loyalty to one club anymore. Guys like Maldini, Totti, Buffon, etc were rare breeds.
