The Re-emergence of Raffaele Palladino

By: Francesco | Comments 13 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 [...]

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. [...]

Video of the Week: Gila

By: Francesco | Comments 14 Comments

After the international break, the man of the moment is undoubtedly Alberto Gilardino. The Fiorentina striker scored 4 goals in 2 matches with the Azzurri, including the impressive hat trick in 14 minutes vs. Cyprus. He now has 16 goals in 38 appearances (now level with Gianluca Vialli and Luca Toni) for the Azzurri and [...]

By: Francesco | Comments 4 Comments

I always like to watch videos of bloopers, and this time I’ve found a Serie A blooper video from the early 2000’s. Always entertaining, and it includes a mistake from Buffon!! (how often do you see those?)

Video of the week: Italian amateur football bloopers

By: Francesco | Comments 7 Comments

It’s the summer, and that means summer friendlies. And most Italian clubs (the ones that don’t go abroad and play in makeshift tournaments vs other big sides) stay in a remote town up in northern Italy or even another country like Austria. So, to gain match fitness, they play summer friendlies, and these summer friendlies [...]

The Best Goals of the 2008/2009 season

By: Francesco | Comments 7 Comments

The new season is quickly approaching (many teams have started pre-season training) and I realized that I never put up a best goals post for last season. So I searched the internet for videos of that showed the “top 10 goals” but I realized that I didn’t agree with any of the videos because I [...]

Video of the Week: Sky Sport Italia commercials

By: Francesco | Comments 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.

Coppa Italia final tomorrow: Lazio and Samp looking to win some silverware.

By: Francesco | Comments 1 Comment

Tomorrow is a big day for Lazio and Sampdoria. Two sides who have performed under expectations throughout the season have a chance to salvage their season by winning a trophy, and more importantly, a place in the Europa League (I think the new name is so stupid) next season. Both sides have not won the [...]
