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 […]

• 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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

The old men were on fire in Florence tonight, with Martin Jorgensen grabbing a brace, and Bobo Vieri scoring in his second straight UEFA Cup match, leading an under-strength Fiorentina side to a 6-1 win over shell-shocked Elfsborg.
Burdened by both injuries and a need to rest some regulars, Cesare Prandelli started little-used defenders Anthony Vanden […]

Well, damn — Bobo came within about three minutes of being a hero in Spain this afternoon. As disappointing as a draw is after having come so close to a win, though, if you’d had offered Prandelli a point before the match, particularly with the injuries the Viola are carrying, he’d surely have taken it […]

[As you may have heard, Fiorentina are still in the UEFA Cup. As you also may have heard, I’m sort of a fan. So, yes, I am going to pay attention to it and treat it like it matters. Sorry, haters.]
The Viola are in Spain today ahead of their first match of the UEFA Cup […]
