Lazio triumph on penalties and win Coppa Italia

By: Francesco | Comments 1 Comment

Both sides went into this game knowing it would define their season. Both sides basically had the exact situation. They both performed under expectations this season, and both have managers that don’t really look like they will be in charge next season. Also, because of their poor season, both clubs were looking for a backdoor [...]

Coppa Italia final tomorrow: Lazio and Samp looking to win some silverware.

By: Francesco | Comments 1 Comment

Tomorrow is a big day for Lazio and Sampdoria. Two sides who have performed under expectations throughout the season have a chance to salvage their season by winning a trophy, and more importantly, a place in the Europa League (I think the new name is so stupid) next season. Both sides have not won the [...]

Finally, a Coppa Italia final that’s interesting!

By: Francesco | Comments 5 Comments

For the last 4 years it was the same thing. Roma-Inter, Inter-Roma, Roma-Inter, Inter-Roma. It was starting to get boring and predictable. Finally, the Lega gave us a break this year. They put Inter and Roma on the same side of the bracket and therefore eliminated the chance of having another year of Giallorossi vs. [...]

By: Francesco | Comments 4 Comments

After a day full of tension, Berlusconi announced late today that Kaka will be staying at Milan and that he closed the deal himself. So Milan fans everywhere can now breathe a sigh of relief (unless you were in favor of him leaving). We’ll see what happens over the next few days though. Regarding Serie [...]

Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 18

How great it was to have Serie A back after the winter break. I missed my weekly calcio fix. Roma-Milan highlighted the return of Serie A. Both teams desperate for the 3 points, as Roma wanted to inch closer to the top half of the table and Milan wanted to get closer to Juventus and [...]

Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 16

By: Francesco | Comments 4 Comments

Alessandro Del Piero and Paolo Maldini. Two Italian legends, inspirational captains, and “bandiere” going at it (and for one of the last times since Maldini retires in June). Del Piero and Juventus came out on top, winning 4-2 at the Stadio Olimpico. Results after the jump.
