Farewell Bobo Vieri?

By: Francesco | Comments 13 Comments

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 | Comments 12 Comments

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 | Comments 10 Comments

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.

News Round-Up As Donadoni Keeps Talking

By: Martha | Comments 5 Comments

•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 | Comments 7 Comments

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 | Comments 3 Comments

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.
