Serie A Week 37 Preview

By: Francesco | Comments 4 Comments

Here we are at the penultimate day of the 2007/2008 Serie A season. It has been a long, interesting season with lots of battles in the table but this second to last day is really becoming more important than the last day, because lots of scenarios can be decided tomorrow after every referee has blown […]

Week 36 (I incorrectly said it was Week 37 in the preview) turned out to be an interesting week in this last part of the 2007/2008 season. Here’s what happened this weekend:
Milan-Inter: 2-1
In the match everyone was looking forward to, the Rossoneri won their first derby in 2 years after playing Inter off the pitch […]

By: Francesco | Comments 9 Comments

Sorry guys for the late post, but my internet has been down all day (Stupid Time Warner Cable!). So here’s the weekend preview:
As you can see by the picture, the main event of Week 37 is the Derby della Madonnina between Milan and Inter. This derby has turned out to become one of the most […]

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 […]

Weekend in Review: Week 31

By: chris | Comments 4 Comments

Mancio decided to eschew tactical concerns during Saturday’s game in favor of making shadow puppets and/or scary faces.
I’m busy packing for an early flight, so here’s your one sentence wrap up for each Serie A weekend game. (The team blogs are more than adequate for the good stuff.)

Lazio 1 - Inter 1: Crespo got it […]

Weekend In Review: Week 30

Inter v Juventus: Bigger match review here.

Roma 2 - Empoli 1: On a day when the real Alessandro del Piero looked like magic but couldn’t finish, Sebastian Giovinco did the same, though he managed to slot home a gimme on a wide open counter. Christian Panucci scored another header on a free kick taken from […]

Weekend In Review: Champions League Spots

By: chris | Comments 9 Comments

Inter 2 - Palermo 1: Strolled in just before half time and wondered how the hell Palermo got a goal. Watched the second half and wondered how the hell Inter didn’t get 7. I mean, even the ancient Figo was (yes, he decided to come off the bench this time - atta go princess) beating […]

Euro Draws: Roma Gets ManYoo; Viola Get Path To You-Know-Who

By: chris | Comments 5 Comments

• Roma has picked up Manchester United….again. Though the shit is being shoveled into the fan as we speak, with monkeys throwing chairs and people calling for the apocalypse. (Or just allegations of a fixed draw.)
• Fiorentina have drawn Dutch boys PSV, and may well be the favorites to make it to the final, along […]

News Not Involving Inter

By: chris | Comments 17 Comments

Because it’s been their week. Move aside.
• A real coaching vacancy was filled. The Cupernator made his illustrious return to the peninsula this weekend to fill in for Mimmo Di Carlo and fight the good fight. Like Claudio Ranieri last year (maybe they should be handing out 6 month contracts?), Hector Cuper will try to […]

Viola Crash The Merseyside

By: chris | Comments 6 Comments

Well at least Fiorentina is fighting strong for the Italians in the UEFA Cup, after an extraordinarily lackluster showing in the earlier rounds from the peninsula (I’m looking at you, Empoli - not that you had any business being there in the first place). So it’s nice to have at least one club make a […]
