By: Francesco | 5 Comments

Roma-Catania was a match where both teams came in focused on other objectives. Roma, of course, are still alive in the battle with Inter for the Scudetto, while Catania are in relegation trouble and are focused on saving themselves from the inferno of Serie B.

Cassano and Del Piero can still hope for call-ups to Euro 2008. Why?

Farewell Bobo Vieri?

By: Francesco | 13 Comments

There is no denying that Christian (Bobo) Vieri in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s was one of, if not the deadliest striker in the world.
