Coppa Italia: Roma eases past Catania, Roma-Inter for the 4th consecutive time

By: Francesco | Comments 5 Comments

Roma-Catania was a match where both teams came in focused on other objectives. Roma, of course, are still alive in the battle with Inter for the Scudetto, while Catania are in relegation trouble and are focused on saving themselves from the inferno of Serie B. Roma came into the game leading 1-0 on aggregate and […]

Inter started the game with a 4-5-1, with David Suazo as the lone striker and and a young central midfield pairing of Francesco Bolzoni and Pele. Lazio started with the […]

Coppa, Tiago & Make Up Lovin’

Coppa Stuffs

Roma 1 - Catania 0
Inter 0 - Lazio 0
Having watched the Roma - Catania match and simply judging by the scoreline of the Inter - Lazio game I’ve come to one conclusion: meh. Coppa first legs have never done much for me beforehand (afterwards can be a different story), and this was no exception. […]

Coppa: In the Absence of Frey, There Will Be Goals

By: Martha | Comments 3 Comments

(Notice that topical movie reference? Has anyone seen There Will Be Blood? Is it any good?) Sorry, I digress. Lazio’s 2-1 home win against Fiorentina was just what the Roman sided needed to keep a little hope in their season, and despite giving up a precious away goal, they’ll be relieved not to have given […]

Coppa, Coppa, Coppa!

By: Martha | Comments 6 Comments

Both Roma and Inter went down to 10 men early in yesterday’s Coppa Italia matches, with Roma losing Philippe Mexes to his second yellow in the 19th minute and Inter losing the utterly useless Nico Burdisso to a straight red in the eighth. Both teams, however, survived with draws, and will head into their away […]

•Cagliari sporting director Nicola Salerno is reasonably confident his team will stay up. (Feel better, Jeremy?) To help with that effort, Cagliari have added Portuguese youth international Vitor Gomes on loan from Rio Ave, a second division side in Portugal, with the option to buy at the end of the season. Maybe he can bring […]

[Sorry about the radio silence yesterday — The Offside unexpectedly switched servers, which left a lot of us seeing error messages all day. I wrote most of this then, in between clicking “refresh” every 30 minutes.]

The order of Coppa Italia things was somewhat restored this week when Roma overturned a 1-3 first leg deficit against […]

Midweek News Roundup

•The first FIFA rankings of 2008 are out, and nothing has changed among the top three — it’s still Argentina, Brazil and Italy, in that order — let alone the top 18. (The US did, however, manage to drop down to 20, having been passed by Nigeria. I’m not laughing. Well, I am, but only […]

It’s Coppa Time Again, Or: See Ya, Tiago

By: Martha | Comments 16 Comments

In the only Coppa Italia match played yesterday, Juve managed to overcome both Empoli and the presence of Jean-Alain Boumsong (He lives!) and Tiago Mendes in their own team to win 5-3, a result that put them through to the quarters by the completely loony aggregate score of 6-5.
Despite going down to 10 men with […]

Note: I’m traveling tomorrow. Will be back on task ASAP.
•For all intents and purposes, it’s all set for Adriano to stay in São Paulo on a six-month loan. Thank Christ.
•Speaking of Adriano, Brazilian home-away-from-home Fenerbahce, once rumored to be a possible destination for the big man, is now being mentioned as a place that other […]
