Fabrizio Miccoli: Giant Killer

By: Francesco | Comments 9 Comments

Fabrizio Miccoli has really become the undisputed leader of Palermo. The diminutive fantasista, or il Romario del Salento as he is so aptly nicknamed, has been putting in great performances this season and had a great year last season, and it looks like he has finally found a place to show all of his talent. [...]

The Biggest Serie A Flops of the Last 9 years

By: Francesco | Comments 13 Comments

Although we are only 10 games into the season, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is starting to look more and more like a big flop. 15 million euro were spent on the Dutch striker, and even if he reaches 5 goals this season it would seem like a big achievement. Sure you can say that he needs time [...]

Goals of the Week: Giornata 9

By: Francesco | Comments 8 Comments

I didn’t put up a Weekend Round-up yesterday because I figured with the midweek round tomorrow, it would be pointless to update everything twice. So we’ll dive in straight to Goals of the Week. Not as great as last week, but still some good goals, especially Daniele Mannini’s one-time volley vs. Bologna. Goals after the [...]

Great Serie A Games: Roma-Juve 2003/2004

By: Francesco | Comments 45 Comments

The Great Serie A Game posts continue with Roma-Juve 2003/2004. The 2003/2004 season was an interesting one. Milan, fresh from a Champions League victory and with some new young Brazilian player named Kaka, were dominating Serie A. While Marcello Lippi’s Juve looked to be favorites to combat the Rossoneri to the Scudetto, it was not [...]

Serie A and B Weekend Round-up: Giornata 8

By: Francesco | Comments 3 Comments

The picture on the left is the photo sequence of Dejan Stankovic’s 54 meter long strike vs Genoa on Saturday. Marco Amelia messed up his clearance, and Stankovic coordinated a beautiful volley that sailed over Amelia and bounced into the net. Goals from midfield are always nice to look at. We’ll definitely see it in [...]

Video of the Week: Gila

By: Francesco | Comments 14 Comments

After the international break, the man of the moment is undoubtedly Alberto Gilardino. The Fiorentina striker scored 4 goals in 2 matches with the Azzurri, including the impressive hat trick in 14 minutes vs. Cyprus. He now has 16 goals in 38 appearances (now level with Gianluca Vialli and Luca Toni) for the Azzurri and [...]

Roberto Donadoni: What’s his deal?

By: Francesco | Comments 7 Comments

As everyone knows by now, Roberto Donadoni was relieved of his duties as Napoli manager and was replaced by former Sampdoria boss Walter Mazzarri. We can’t deny that Donadoni was one of the greatest wingers Italian football has ever produced. But his managerial career so far? Not great. We really don’t know where Donadoni is [...]
