Berlusconi likes them barely legal

So this post isn't actually about the romantic exploits of the soon to be restored Italian prime minister. Although check out Ms. Yespica's dating cv: Silvio, Bruce Willis, Craig David, and Pippo Inzaghi (NSFW pics here). No, this is about an 18 year old scoring just seconds into his Serie A debut for Milan. Video evidence, and the brewing Inter refereeing scandal, after the break.

With Pato out injured, Milan were actually struggling against Siena at the San Siro, failing to convert on a myriad of chances and reverting back to last fall's form. Ancelloti went to his bench and subbed on Alberto Paloschi in the 63rd minute. 20 seconds later, Milan were 1-0 up thanks to this sweet volley from the teenager. The rossoneri went on to win and now sit a mere 2 points behind Fiorentina and the final Champions League spot. Milan have been outstanding so far this year, and next week's match vs. Arsenal should be entertaining. With two 18 year olds, Kaka, and the only-25-year-old Gilardino, Milan look to have found a new generation of attacking players. Now if only they could find someone to replace the ancient Paolo Maldini in the back.

Inter, meanwhile, won 2-0, with the first goal coming from a probably offside Esteban Cambiasso. The ref fled the pitch after the game to avoid the wrath of the Catania players. Inter have now benefitted from shady calls in three straight matches, and remain on top of the Calcio.
