By: Francesco |The long Serie B season finally came to an end today. While some things had already been decided (Bari and Parma automatically promoted; Brescia, Livorno, and Empoli in the play-offs; Avellino and Treviso relegated) some things still had to be decided, like who would join Treviso and Avellino in Lega Pro, who would fight for [...]

Serie A Goals of the Week: Giornata 37
By: Francesco |I’m sorry there was no Weekend Round-up this week, I was away for Memorial Day Weekend and then yesterday my internet was down, so I figured by now it’s Wednesday and everyone knows the results of this past weekend.

The Explosion of Gaetano D’Agostino
By: Francesco |When you read news about Serie A you always hear about the big stars and how they are performing, but you rarely hear about other players that are having a good season. We always hear about Kaka, Ibrahimovic, Totti, Del Piero, Buffon, etc but we never hear about Consigli, Guarente, Sorrentino, Marcolini, and Padoin for [...]
Arriverderci Reggina
By: Francesco |Remember how the Champions League final being held in Rome would interfere with Lazio’s match with Reggina?

Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 36
By: Francesco |We’ve expected it for most of the year, but this weekend Inter were officially crowned Campioni D’Italia for the 17th time (now they are level with Milan for all-time Scudetto wins, but both clubs are still 10 behind Juventus). For those that don’t understand the banner. “Il Biscione” (the snake) is the traditional symbol of [...]
Lega Pro (Serie C) comes to an end and verdicts are out
By: Francesco |I hate that they renamed Serie C “Lega Pro” and it just hasn’t stuck on me all season. For me, it’s still Serie C. Today was the last matchday for Serie C1 (Lega Pro Prima Divisione) and the verdicts are out.
Lazio triumph on penalties and win Coppa Italia
By: Francesco |Both sides went into this game knowing it would define their season. Both sides basically had the exact situation. They both performed under expectations this season, and both have managers that don’t really look like they will be in charge next season. Also, because of their poor season, both clubs were looking for a backdoor [...]
Coppa Italia final tomorrow: Lazio and Samp looking to win some silverware.
By: Francesco |Tomorrow is a big day for Lazio and Sampdoria. Two sides who have performed under expectations throughout the season have a chance to salvage their season by winning a trophy, and more importantly, a place in the Europa League (I think the new name is so stupid) next season. Both sides have not won the [...]
