So, everyone had a week to vote and crown the Ugliest Serie A Footballer. It was a tight race, but it in the end there had to be one winner. Who is it? Is it the man who looks like a rat (Mascara), the rapist/kidnapper (Juric), the uni-browed goalkeeper (Rubinho)? It was very close, [...]
Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 17
By: Francesco | 11 Comments
I’m not just putting this picture up to rile up the Inter fans, but this shows just how bad the linesman was Saturday night. Actually, something I noticed this season is that the linesmen have been poor all around in games featuring all teams. It’s like they’re too lazy to do their job and keep [...]

Often we always find ourselves arguing with other people about which league is the best in the world. Everyone has their own opinion, whether it’s the English Premier League, Serie A, or La Liga. Well, even though we know this won’t tell us 100% which league is the best, all three Italian teams have been [...]

Alessandro Del Piero and Paolo Maldini. Two Italian legends, inspirational captains, and “bandiere” going at it (and for one of the last times since Maldini retires in June). Del Piero and Juventus came out on top, winning 4-2 at the Stadio Olimpico. Results after the jump.

I know statistics are big mostly in American sports. You’ll turn on Sportscenter and here a random sportscaster be like “This player has a 65.7893034% shooting percentage, better than the average of the league which is 54.648484645!”. Usually American sports will find stats for anything, like the “second assist”. I mean come on, the second [...]
Alberto Aquilani causes trouble with Facebook
By: Francesco | 19 Comments
Alberto Aquilani has been on the sidelines recently because of injury (when is he not injured?) and has been unable to contribute to the Roma revival. But it seems he has kept himself occupied at home by creating his own Facebook account. Facebook, which is immensely popular in North America, has now become immensely popular [...]
And the Bidone D’Oro (Golden Trash Can Award) goes to…

In Italy, famous players that flop at top clubs, big money transfers that wind up not fulfilling their potential, or players that just plain flat-out stink are given the title “bidone“, which means “trash can” (or “rubbish can” for the UK). So every year, Radio Rai Due gives out the “Bidone D’Oro“, or “Golden Trash [...]
