By: Francesco | 2 Comments
I know, the Cassano-National Team debate is getting old and boring. But this was too funny. In the 5th minute of the game yesterday, a fan ran onto the pitch wearing a t-shirt with the Superman logo and with the words “Cassano in Nazionale” (Cassano on the National Team). He jogged around the pitch for [...]
Lippi-Cassano: The Real Reason?
By: Francesco | 34 Comments
Since Lippi has taken over the national team for a second time, the big question has always been, “Why aren’t you calling up Antonio Cassano?” Cassano has widely been recognized as the best Italian player at the moment and there is no other talent in Italy that can even reach his level at the moment [...]
International week is boring
By: Francesco | 11 Comments
International week is boring. There’s really no news from Serie A, and we get a week of Lippi dodging questions about Mourinho and Cassano. Here’s the highlights from today’s game. Italy won 2-0, finally a decent performance. Pirlo excelled as a trequartista, Zambrotta actually ran up and down the wing, De Rossi is the most [...]
Looks like Amauri won’t be Italian anytime soon
By: Francesco | 12 Comments
By now he has made his decision. Amauri wants to play for the Italian national team. Dunga doesn’t want to call him up for Brazil, and Amauri knows that Lippi is interested in calling him up to the Azzurri. Amauri thought he would be getting his passport sometime this month and that Lippi would call [...]

Pretty much sums up the game quite nicely.
I think there are way too many problems with this team and it wouldn’t really be good to reiterate my feelings after you’ve all seen my thoughts after every national team game (Never have been in favor of Lippi’s return; we need a fantasista *cough* Cassano *cough*; [...]

By: Francesco | 15 Comments
When you read news about Serie A you always hear about the big stars and how they are performing, but you rarely hear about other players that are having a good season. We always hear about Kaka, Ibrahimovic, Totti, Del Piero, Buffon, etc but we never hear about Consigli, Guarente, Sorrentino, Marcolini, and Padoin for [...]
