Bobo Vieri
The One and Only
Farewell Bobo Vieri?
By: Francesco |There is no denying that Christian (Bobo) Vieri in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s was one of, if not the deadliest striker in the world. The Aussie-born striker was a goalscoring machine, and scored with such ease. He would just power past defenders and put the ball into the net anyway possible. He was […]
Fiorentina fall to the lottery of penalty kicks
By: Francesco |After hearing news that Zenit St. Petersburg had demolished Bayern Munich 4-0, La Viola had to like their chances if they reached the final. However, they could not surpass the final hurdle. Fiorentina quite simply dominated the game (15 shots on goal), but they could not finish for anything. Rangers sat back for 120 minutes […]

WAG of the Week: Belen Rodriguez
By: Martha |Belen Rodriguez shot to “fame” in Italy last year when it was revealed it was her STD meds that made boyfriend Marco Borriello test positive for steroids. Oops. Not to worry, though, apparently “skank” is hot, because not only are they still together, but word in the Italian gossip press is that Belen was on […]
News Round-Up As Donadoni Keeps Talking
By: Martha |•In case you missed it, Atalanta beat Milan 2-1 yesterday despite, as often happens with Milan’s opponents, having much less of the ball, and the worse of the play. (La Gazzetta gave Pato a 4.5. Nico Burdisso, who was lasted less than eight minutes before being sent off for Inter, got a 5. Ouch.)

Fiorentina v Torino: Penalty Mania
By: Martha |Not a pretty match, by any stretch of the imagination. To the surprise of even themselves, Toro came out flying, and put pressure on Fiorentina’s penalty area before the home side could even get hold of the ball. David Di Michele looked lively at the start, but Toro’s advantage faded quickly as the Viola settled […]
Parma v Fiorentina: Mutu Double
By: Martha |I’m irredeemably biased when it comes to Bobo Vieri, but based on the first half today, I think anyone could see why Cesare Prandelli prefers him to Giampaolo Pazzini right now: He plays simple and smart and, mostly importantly links up really well with Adrian Mutu, who is indesputably the focus of the Fiorentina attack. […]

WAG of the Week: Debora Salvalaggio (Take Two)
By: Martha |I know you don’t need any justification for this one, but Debora Salvalaggio dated Super Bobo. And Super Pippo. And she no only knows (as she says) a lot about football, but also used to host a show about it. And still finds time to do nudie calendars! (She’s a hero.) And she’s gorgeous. So, […]
Mega News Roundup As We Wait for the First Mega Deal
By: Martha |Sory this is so epic, I’m headed to the airport and wanted to pull together as much as I could before I’m at the mercy of the FAA and the weather. God only knows when I’ll get home.
