There was a time when the UEFA Cup was “the” Italian team competition. An Italian team would win it or would at least get to the semi-final. Unfortunately in recent years when it switched to a group stage format Italian clubs haven’t been as successful, and see it as a nuisance or a second rate [...]

Often we always find ourselves arguing with other people about which league is the best in the world. Everyone has their own opinion, whether it’s the English Premier League, Serie A, or La Liga. Well, even though we know this won’t tell us 100% which league is the best, all three Italian teams have been [...]

Happy Thanksgiving (or Tacchino Day) to all the Italy Offside readers! Enjoy your day and eat lots of food! I tried to find a picture of an Italian turkey, this the best I could do (or google image search could do), a turkey with the Italian name for turkey next to it.
This now leads [...]
Fiorentina fall to the lottery of penalty kicks

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

• 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 [...]
Viola Crash The Merseyside

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 [...]

A largely first-choice Fiorentina side defeated Mladá Boleslav (the team that knocked Palermo out) 2-1 in their final UEFA Cup match yesterday, tying up second place in Group C and confirming their place in the draw for the knockout stage.
From the sound of reports, the match was a bit ragged, with the Viola having [...]

Fiorentina dominated long stretches of their away match with AEK Athens today, coming away with a creditable 1-1 draw that keeps them top of Group B with two rounds left to play (the Viola will be off on the next Matchday, not playing in Europe again until December 20).
The first half was reported a lively [...]
UEFA Cup: Fiorentina Travel to Greece
By: Martha | 9 Comments
Fiorentina face AEK Athens today in great shape to move on the UEFA Cup, needing a win to go through to the next round with a match remaining. They’re currently top of Group C but, since three of the five teams will move on, even an unimaginable collapse against tiny Mladá Boleslav (yes, I know, [...]
Champions League: Three of Four Serie A Clubs Advance
By: Martha | 9 Comments
Thanks to yet another fantastic goal from Andrea Pirlo, Milan took a point from Benfica and booked their place in the knockout round, despite facing a strong challenge from the desperate Portuguese club. The Azzurri magician opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a low shot from 30 yards out, but Benfica leveled almost [...]
