Today it was reported that at 35 years of age, Roma striker Vincenzo Montella has decided to retire. Montella was one of the best strikers Italy has ever produced and one of Italy’s deadliest strikers in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Short in stature and nicknamed “L’Aeroplanino” (Little Airplane) for his trademark goal celebration [...]

Last week I posted the first edition of Transfer Tuesdays, where every week we round up what every Serie A club is doing on the transfer market.

This is the new Nike ball that you will see being kicked around next season. It’s called the Nike Total 90 Ascente and will also be used in the EPL and in Spain’s La Liga. The ball will be used in all Serie A, Serie B, and Coppa Italia matches as well as the [...]
Players of the Season
By: Francesco | 14 Comments
It’s been nearly a month since the end of the 2008/2009 Serie A season. I would’ve put this post up earlier, but the Confederations Cup and the U-21 Championship distracted me from Serie A talk. So I thought we’d discuss who was the best foreign player and who was the best Italian player this season. [...]
Transfer Tuesdays
By: Francesco | 5 Comments
I thought now that the season is over and we’ve moved into the craziness of the off season where transfer rumors are posted by the minute on every calcio website possible, I would start a new weekly post called “Transfer Tuesdays” where we can sift through all these rumors and see what all 20 Serie [...]

Livorno ended their one year stay in Serie B on Saturday with a 3-0 win over Brescia in the promotion play-off final second leg (first leg was 2-2). The Amaranto got two goals from their two star players Francesco Tavano and Alessandro Diamanti before Martin Bergvold added a third. The promotion is a great joy [...]
Serie A to change game times for 2010-2011 season
By: Francesco | 5 Comments
The 2010-2011 season will be a little different for Serie A. The collective bargaining tv rights will go into effect which should mean more money for the little teams as the tv rights are shared throughout the whole league similar to the EPL model. But this also means they have decided to follow the EPL [...]
Video of the Week: Sky Sport Italia commercials
By: Francesco | 6 Comments
In Italy, if you want to watch all things calcio, you watch Sky. Sky shows every Serie A game plus analysis shows and other shows about calcio. They also make some clever commercials, and some are like the “This is Sportscenter” commercials in the USA on ESPN. Commercials after the jump.
Serie A Statistics 2008-2009
By: Francesco | 5 Comments
So we all know in American sports there are statistics for everything. On base percentage, field goal percentage, runs batted in, how many times a player blows his nose at half-time, etc. Soccer as a whole is relatively new to statistics, and especially Italian calcio. Up until a few years ago assists weren’t even recorded. [...]
Goals of the week: Giornata 38
By: Francesco | 2 Comments
So since this is the last time we’ll be seeing Serie A goals until late August, this week I figured I’d show a video of all the goals of week 38. Since it was the last day and most teams were just playing for fun, there were many goals, and many nice ones to boot. [...]
