Last week I posted the first edition of Transfer Tuesdays, where every week we round up what every Serie A club is doing on the transfer market. Today is the last day of June, which means tomorrow the transfer window is officially open and you’ll see all the transfers made in the past few weeks [...]

After Italy’s elimination from the U-21 Championship last Friday, Gigi Casiraghi was unsure about his future. He said that he would let the night pass and consider his options. The media were expecting that Casiraghi would decide to leave after 3 years at the helm and go on to newer pastures. Names were already being [...]

This is the new Nike ball that you will see being kicked around next season. It’s called the Nike Total 90 Ascente and will also be used in the EPL and in Spain’s La Liga. The ball will be used in all Serie A, Serie B, and Coppa Italia matches as well as the [...]
Players of the Season
By: Francesco | 14 Comments
It’s been nearly a month since the end of the 2008/2009 Serie A season. I would’ve put this post up earlier, but the Confederations Cup and the U-21 Championship distracted me from Serie A talk. So I thought we’d discuss who was the best foreign player and who was the best Italian player this season. [...]
Azzurrini defeat Belarus 2-1 and march on to semi-final vs. Germany
By: Francesco | 12 Comments
The Italy U-21 side went into their last group game with 4 points and only needed a draw to advance to the semi-final, but a win would assure first place in the group. Italy were without Mario Balotelli, who was serving his one-match ban and there was watching from the stands. Casiraghi “officially” put out [...]

I thought now that the season is over and we’ve moved into the craziness of the off season where transfer rumors are posted by the minute on every calcio website possible, I would start a new weekly post called “Transfer Tuesdays” where we can sift through all these rumors and see what all 20 Serie [...]
Livorno returns to Serie A and all the other promotion verdicts in Italy plus where all the Serie A teams will be spending their summer
By: Francesco | 1 Comment
Livorno ended their one year stay in Serie B on Saturday with a 3-0 win over Brescia in the promotion play-off final second leg (first leg was 2-2). The Amaranto got two goals from their two star players Francesco Tavano and Alessandro Diamanti before Martin Bergvold added a third. The promotion is a great joy [...]
Serie A to change game times for 2010-2011 season
By: Francesco | 5 Comments
The 2010-2011 season will be a little different for Serie A. The collective bargaining tv rights will go into effect which should mean more money for the little teams as the tv rights are shared throughout the whole league similar to the EPL model. But this also means they have decided to follow the EPL [...]
Azzurrini defeat Sweden 2-1 featuring the best and worst of Mario Balotelli
By: Francesco | 6 Comments
After the 0-0 draw with Serbia in the opening match, the game against hosts Sweden was very important, as a loss or a draw would’ve put Italy’s chances of getting out of the group in lots of trouble. Fortunately, the Azzurrini stood up to the task, winning 2-1 and putting them in a strong position [...]
Italy fall to Egypt 1-0
By: Francesco | 32 Comments
Pretty much sums up the game quite nicely.
I think there are way too many problems with this team and it wouldn’t really be good to reiterate my feelings after you’ve all seen my thoughts after every national team game (Never have been in favor of Lippi’s return; we need a fantasista *cough* Cassano *cough*; [...]
