By: Martha |
15 Comments
At the very least, Ms. Cannavo has dated both Antonio Cassano (He has a great personality. No, wait.) and Old Man Panucci, but there could well be a zillion other footballers in her past, as well — I stopped looking after those two, and frankly, she seems a little skanky.
Apart from dating footballers and posing […]

•Giorgio Chinaglia has been fined €4.2 million for market manipulation, related to his attempted takeover of Lazio in 2005. Just guessing here, but I have a […]
UEFA Cup: Viola Draw in Athens
By: Martha | No Comments
Fiorentina dominated long stretches of their away match with AEK Athens today, coming away with a creditable 1-1 draw that keeps them top of Group B with two rounds left to play (the Viola will be off on the next Matchday, not playing in Europe again until December 20).
The first half was reported a lively […]
Totti Gets Bionic Boot, Teases Azzurri Return
By: Martha | 6 Comments
Next time you see Francesco Totti on the pitch, he could well actually be hovering right above it: The crack (I might mean that literally, given how long it’s taking their charges to recover from injuries the season) Roma medical stuff have built him a “special boot,” one that will apparently render the captain impervious […]

By: Martha | 9 Comments
Fiorentina face AEK Athens today in great shape to move on the UEFA Cup, needing a win to go through to the next round with a match remaining. They’re currently top of Group C but, since three of the five teams will move on, even an unimaginable collapse against tiny Mladá Boleslav (yes, I know, […]

As a very irritated PalermoSteven noted yesterday, the Observatory for Sport has banned Palermo supporters from traveling to Catania for Sunday’s Sicilian derby. In addition, home supporters are forbidden to buy more than one ticket, or to resell the one they’re allowed. (As you may recall, the last time this fixture was played, Filippo Raciti […]

Benfica, meanwhile, will be desperate for a win, knowing it’s the only result that will definitely keep them alive in the group.

Usually, La Gazzetta only report on footballer holidays over the summer, when there’s not much going on and they can do some paparazzi-style stalking. Today, though, they’re making an exception, reporting on Ricky Kaka’s travel plans — and it’s not (only) because they’re obsessed with him.
Kaka, you see, is (allegedly) planning to visit the Eiffel […]
Champions League: Inter, Roma Roll
By: Martha | 11 Comments
That’s the first two Italian teams into the next round, then: Roma crushed Dynamo Kiev 4-1, while Inter struggled for an hour against Fenerbahce before coming out comfortably on top, 3-0.
In the first half in Milan, both teams were terribly sloppy, giving the ball away over and over and not really playing much football. Inter […]
