5 Comments
There was a time when the UEFA Cup was “the” Italian team competition. An Italian team would win it or would at least get to the semi-final. Unfortunately in recent years when it switched to a group stage format Italian clubs haven’t been as successful, and see it as a nuisance or a second rate [...]

We all know by now that Rino Gattuso is not one who keeps his thoughts to himself. He’ll tell you like it is, and he’s not afraid of anyone. (I mean come on, this is the man who choked Marcello Lippi at the World Cup.) Gattuso always gives 110% for club and country, and now [...]

So the long anticipated Champions League Round of 16 first legs have come and gone, and all the Italian teams will have to go back to the drawing board. Inter would have wanted to have gotten a better result at home (a win) but now face the arduous task of going to Old Trafford and [...]

Some of you may be looking at this picture and thinking: “What is this? Who are these players? And why does Sampdoria have a Scudetto patch on their jersey?” Well, those are the Primavera (the top youth side in Italy, similar to reserves in England) sides of Juventus and Sampdoria doing battle in the Torneo [...]

So when I was a little kid watching calcio back in the ’90’s, my idol was none other than Roberto Baggio. Everything about him amazed me: his technique and skill, his perfect free kicks, the way he just slipped past defenders like they were practice cones, the amazing goals he scored, everything. I enjoyed watching [...]

While we all know that our favorite calcio stars are all highly skilled athletes with unique, rare talent, we must also remember that they are also, you know, human. Are you shocked? Are you sitting at your computer with your mouth wide open thinking “Human? Really?” Well thankfully there is a video to prove it. [...]
Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 24
By: Francesco | 38 Comments
Inter-Milan yesterday turned out to be one of the better derbies of recent years. It was filled with intensity, exciting play, and featured two star-studded squads. Adriano’s goal was subject to much debate, but even a Milan fan like myself has to admit that it was a call that could have gone either way. On [...]

Up until about 2 years ago, if you had asked anyone who the best Italian defender was or even who the top defender in the world was, many people would tell you it was Alessandro Nesta. Everyone appreciated Nesta. He has always been a serious professional who had chosen always to step away from the [...]
“Mr. X” wants to buy Torino
By: Francesco | 2 Comments
Since Torino had returned to the top flight in 2006, they have not lived up to their potential at all. The squad has a die-hard fanbase with passionate fans that flock to the Stadio Olimpico to watch their beloved Granata, and have a roster of players that can easily get them a mid-table finish. However [...]
Azzurri disappoint vs. Brazil, media still afraid of Lippi
By: Francesco | 15 Comments
So the big friendly everybody waited for lived up to it’s billing as an entertaining encounter, but it was entertaining for Brazil fans. Carlos Dunga’s side played a great match, a real samba style mixed with grit and determination. Italy, on the other hand, at times looked like San Marino (especially in the first half) [...]
