By: Francesco | 2 Comments
I know, the Cassano-National Team debate is getting old and boring. But this was too funny. In the 5th minute of the game yesterday, a fan ran onto the pitch wearing a t-shirt with the Superman logo and with the words “Cassano in Nazionale” (Cassano on the National Team). He jogged around the pitch for [...]
Azzurrini lose to Hungary, qualification in doubt, worst Italy U-21 team of all time?
By: Francesco | 7 Comments
The Italy U-21’s continued their very disappointing qualifying campaign with another loss, this time away to Hungary. The Azzurrini needed a win to get back on track, but now qualification is getting more and more difficult. The Hungarians won 2-0, with goals coming from Nemeth and Koman (both players played on the Hungarian side that [...]
Lippi-Cassano: The Real Reason?
By: Francesco | 34 Comments
Since Lippi has taken over the national team for a second time, the big question has always been, “Why aren’t you calling up Antonio Cassano?” Cassano has widely been recognized as the best Italian player at the moment and there is no other talent in Italy that can even reach his level at the moment [...]
Video of the Week: Gila
By: Francesco | 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 [...]

By: Francesco | 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 [...]

Despite having a strong U-21 side, Italy’s other youth national teams don’t really have a glorious history. All of Italy’s youth focus is directed to the U-21 team, and you never hear anything about the other sides. In addition, besides the U-21 team Italy’s youth sides have never really won anything, despite participating at many [...]
International week is boring
By: Francesco | 11 Comments
International week is boring. There’s really no news from Serie A, and we get a week of Lippi dodging questions about Mourinho and Cassano. Here’s the highlights from today’s game. Italy won 2-0, finally a decent performance. Pirlo excelled as a trequartista, Zambrotta actually ran up and down the wing, De Rossi is the most [...]
Looks like Amauri won’t be Italian anytime soon
By: Francesco | 12 Comments
By now he has made his decision. Amauri wants to play for the Italian national team. Dunga doesn’t want to call him up for Brazil, and Amauri knows that Lippi is interested in calling him up to the Azzurri. Amauri thought he would be getting his passport sometime this month and that Lippi would call [...]
