When looking at the schedule of the 5th Giornata, all eyes had to be on Milan-Inter. The Derby was important not only for fans of those teams but for fans of other teams, as everyone had to hope Inter were stopped. And they were stopped, as the Rossoneri prevailed with a thunderous header from Ronaldinho, [...]

For some reason whenever Serie A plays during the week I always feel like it isn’t the same. I love the tradition of Serie A Sundays and Serie A on Wednesday just feels strange. But it’s still Serie A, so I could care less because I love calcio. Giornata 4 was another great round of [...]

By: Francesco | 5 Comments
Usually when we think of goalkeeper’s scoring goals, we think of those keepers that take free kicks and penalties for their club, past and present (Jose Luis Chilavert, Rogerio Ceni, Hans-Jorg Butt), but there are always the goalkeepers that come up in the last minute of the game with their team down by a goal [...]

Giornata 2 was another exciting week of Italian calcio. Inter and Juventus got back on track with wins, but Roma, Milan, and Fiorentina fell back a step with losses. Lazio continues to impress (Mauro Zarate especially) and Atalanta show they are a solid side. Cagliari still finds itself without any points (like Milan) and Massimiliano [...]
