The Re-emergence of Raffaele Palladino

By: Francesco | Comments 4 Comments

One of the players playing extremely well at the moment is Genoa fantasista Raffaele Palladino. Palladino has always been a player that could do things with the ball that others could only dream of doing, but he never had the consistency to show that talent at a high level. Palladino is now an important part [...]

Goals of the Week: Giornata 11

By: Francesco | Comments No Comments

A few nice goals this week, but nothing extraordinary. Giuseppe Mascara scored one of his trademark wonder-goals, and Marco Borriello got back on the scoresheet with 2 goals (the second a nice scissor kick) after almost a year. Diego Milito got back to his scoring ways as well after being absent through injury, and Mirko [...]

Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 11

By: Francesco | Comments 6 Comments

Napoli won vs. Juventus in Torino for the first time since November 20, 1988, when Maradona’s Napoli won 5-3. Since then, there had been 11 wins and 5 ties, and Napoli hadn’t scored in Torino since March of 1998. This Napoli side has been rejuvenated under Walter Mazzarri, and they have shown they have a [...]

Fabrizio Miccoli: Giant Killer

By: Francesco | Comments 9 Comments

Fabrizio Miccoli has really become the undisputed leader of Palermo. The diminutive fantasista, or il Romario del Salento as he is so aptly nicknamed, has been putting in great performances this season and had a great year last season, and it looks like he has finally found a place to show all of his talent. [...]

The Biggest Serie A Flops of the Last 9 years

By: Francesco | Comments 13 Comments

Although we are only 10 games into the season, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is starting to look more and more like a big flop. 15 million euro were spent on the Dutch striker, and even if he reaches 5 goals this season it would seem like a big achievement. Sure you can say that he needs time [...]

Goals of the Week: Giornata 9

By: Francesco | Comments 8 Comments

I didn’t put up a Weekend Round-up yesterday because I figured with the midweek round tomorrow, it would be pointless to update everything twice. So we’ll dive in straight to Goals of the Week. Not as great as last week, but still some good goals, especially Daniele Mannini’s one-time volley vs. Bologna. Goals after the [...]

Great Serie A Games: Roma-Juve 2003/2004

By: Francesco | Comments 45 Comments

The Great Serie A Game posts continue with Roma-Juve 2003/2004. The 2003/2004 season was an interesting one. Milan, fresh from a Champions League victory and with some new young Brazilian player named Kaka, were dominating Serie A. While Marcello Lippi’s Juve looked to be favorites to combat the Rossoneri to the Scudetto, it was not [...]

This is going to be a good goals of the week post. There are many nice goals, and in particular the goals from Stankovic and Dessena are awesome to watch. Goals after the jump.

Serie A and B Weekend Round-up: Giornata 8

By: Francesco | Comments 3 Comments

The picture on the left is the photo sequence of Dejan Stankovic’s 54 meter long strike vs Genoa on Saturday. Marco Amelia messed up his clearance, and Stankovic coordinated a beautiful volley that sailed over Amelia and bounced into the net. Goals from midfield are always nice to look at. We’ll definitely see it in [...]

Sorry I didn’t get up a weekend round-up yesterday, it was a really busy day. However I don’t want to disrupt the weekly order so I’ll go straight to Goals of the Week. Last week was probably the worst goals of the week post of all time. I think this week made up for it [...]
