Champions League Draw gifts us with Milan vs. Kaka and Inter vs. Ibra

By: Francesco | Comments 9 Comments

The Champions League draw always provides entertainment. Even though the random drawing and the whole ceremony is fairly boring, it’s always interesting because it always seems to draw clubs together that are related in some way. Sometimes they’ll gift a club with revenge against a club that knocked them out the year before, or other [...]

Gattuso gives his opinion on the Amauri situation, and Amauri answers back

By: Francesco | Comments 6 Comments

We all know by now that Rino Gattuso is not one who keeps his thoughts to himself. He’ll tell you like it is, and he’s not afraid of anyone. (I mean come on, this is the man who choked Marcello Lippi at the World Cup.) Gattuso always gives 110% for club and country, and now [...]

While Italian football provides excellent quality and entertainment on the pitch, we all know that it equally provides excellent quality and entertainment off the pitch.

By: Francesco | Comments 12 Comments

Champions League: Two Italian teams happy, one sad, and one with a manager who has no feeling

By: Francesco | Comments 6 Comments

Not bad for Italian teams in the Champions League this week: 2 wins, 2 draws. Roma and Juventus have to be ecstatic after their victories, while Fiorentina after their draw with Bayern at home can’t say the same.
