Roma V Milan: Stalemate
By: Martha |

So, Gilardino came on at the half, and his very first act was to go down like he’d been shot, and put on his “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!” near-tears face for the referee. His next three or four involvements featured him being offside or handling the ball but refusing, as usual, to accept any responsibility [...]
Crespo Has a Message for Chelsea
By: Martha | 4 Comments
And that message is: “Ears are made for hearing.” Er, right then, Hernan. Thanks for that.
Apparently Crespo feels this aural function has until now been lost on one Roman Abramovich (Perhaps he thinks his ears are made for carrying money?), and he wants the Chelsea owner to just sit down and listen. Is that so [...]
If You Ask the Spanish Press, Ronaldinho is Out the Door. Kind Of.
By: Martha | No Comments
If you believe Spanish newspaper Marca, Barcelona are at least semi-resigned to that fact that Ronaldinho will be a Milan player come this summer. Though the report in Calciomercato makes it sound as if the paper announces the player’s departure, that’s not really the case. Instead, it simply gathers together a group of recent quotes [...]
Everyone Wants Nasri — Especially Inter
By: Martha | 4 Comments
Those of you who don’t follow France may not have heard, but the latest Next Zidane made his full international debut this week and turned in what was reportedly a very impressive performance. The youngster, a 19-year-old midfielder named Samir Nasri, currently plays for Olympique Marseille and was being drooled on by many major clubs [...]
Look, Toni’s Going to Inter! I Mean Juve. No, Wait — It’s Bayern!
By: Martha | 12 Comments
Apparently many sports papers around Europe have “Luca Toni Day!” written on their calendars for March 30, because the media is full of stories today about his imminent departure from Florence. Because the one thing all these sources agree on is that he’s on his way out. Where he’s going, however, is anyone’s guess (though [...]
Cavani is Hurt? I Blame Caracciolo.
By: Martha | 1 Comment
You know how everyone who cares about Palermo was thrilled to hear Andrea Caracciolo sowing his sour grapes last week, announcing he was leaving the club this summer? And how that joy was both because he’s a pain in the ass, but also because a certain Edison Cavani has been so wildly productive in his [...]
WAG of the Week: Manuela Arcuri
By: Martha | 13 Comments
[Real life and work are kicking my ass right, so this is probably the last post for the day. Luckily, there's very little happening in the world o' calcio today, and I'm sure you'd rather look at a WAG than read about Ronaldinho again anyway.]
The lovely Ms. Arcuri is doubly qualified for this feature having [...]

In the wake of yesterday’s decisive win over Scotland, much of the Italy camp has taken the opportunity to thumb their noses as the doubters in the press who had the audacity to question The Great Donadoni prior to the match.
Rino Gattuso, for example, managed to work his disgruntlement over the fact that “in Italy [...]
Italy v Scotland: Well, That’s Better
By: Martha | 8 Comments
It’s amazing what an early goal can do for the shape of a game, huh? The Azzurri flat-out dominated the first 10-15 minutes of the match and, after Toni’s goal in the 11th (off a wonderful Oddo free kick — his service was great throughout the first half, and Toni squandered at least one other [...]
Some Brawlers Have Sentences Reduced on Appeal, Others Not So Lucky
By: Martha | 2 Comments
After hearings today, Inter’s Maicon and Ivan Cordoba had their suspensions for that whole Valenica throwdown reduced — clearly UEFA’s disciplinary committee is a bunch of sentimental old fools who were seduced by the mere presence among them of such footballing luminaries. That said, though, things didn’t go quite so well for their friend Nicolas [...]
