Hey, everyone, it’s Francesco from the Parma Offside. Since Chris has been busy and hasn’t been able to update the Italy Offside, I will now handle the duties and hope to give you guys news about Calcio every day. Here’s my first post, it’s about the Events of 5 Maggio that Nobody Talks about:

• Roma has picked up Manchester United….again. Though the shit is being shoveled into the fan as we speak, with monkeys throwing chairs and people calling for the apocalypse. (Or just allegations of a fixed draw.)
• Fiorentina have drawn Dutch boys PSV, and may well be the favorites to make it to the final, along […]
Leave The Drama To The Italians

The game itself was fairly straightforward. Inter had a big mountain to climb heading in, Nicolas Burdisso - who even Inter’s most ardent nut-huggers will admit has the finesse of a chainsaw - knocked Inter off the face of the cliff down the mountain in the 50th minute (and almost looked like he was about […]
News Getting Better For Calcio

Yes, Roma beat Real Madrid again yesterday to advance to the “Elite Eight”, but even I’m sick of talking/hearing about it. So that’s all I have to say about that. (Alright, that’s a complete lie, I’m just sparing you.)
The picture posted the other day after Milan’s loss was a sad representation of what we thought […]
Bad Time To Be An Italian In Europe

Milan 0 - Arsenal 2: And there she goes. Milan’s title defense is over a whole 12 minutes after Carletto waxed prophetic about Milan’s “Champions League DNA“. Whoops. From what I hear no one is blaming him, but I am for two reasons:
1. Don’t tempt the footballing gods. Ever.
2. You ALWAYS rest Clarence before a […]

Arsenal 0 - Milan 0:
The Rossoneri should count their lucky stars they were able to take a stalemate from the Emirates back to Milan tonight. Emmanuel Adebayor missed the sitter of all sitters in the dying seconds by heading a ball off the woodwork when he had a full goal open from within the 6 […]
Milan Take On The Gunners

Arsenal v Milan:
First of all, a sigh of relief for all the Rossoneri faithful: Zeljko Kalac will be playing. (The fact that Kalac playing requires a sigh of relief is kinda funny, you’ve got to admit.) Which means Valerio Fiore, he of two appearances with the club in eight years, will only be on the […]
Champions League Review: One For Two
By: chris | 7 Comments
One Italian team did well, one not so much.
Roma v Real Madrid: Raul’s early deflection was canceled out by another deflection by David Pizarro to take things even throughout the first half. Real had the bulk of possession, and Roma had to spend time bouncing the ball back out. Excuse me, Daniele De Rossi had […]
Time For A Taste Of Europe

Two of the three remaining representatives of Italy are going to be spending their Tuesdays battling away in some big time European action. Inter is travelling to Anfield for a first leg against Rafa’s Spanish Armada while Roma host Real Madrid at the Stadio Olimpico. And no matter how you feel about either team, fact […]
Champions League Draw: Yikes.
By: Martha | 19 Comments
It appears someone in Italy has angered the football gods (I blame Moggi), because the Italian sides got some brutal freaking draws today: Roma will face Real Madrid, Milan will play Arsenal, and Inter got Liverpool. I think I can say this and also say I’m confident all three team could well go through: YUCK.
Though […]
