Throttling Catania, Ludovicious & The King
By chris | May 8th, 2008Catania 1 v Roma 2 Formality over, and that's precisely what it looked like: a formality. The game was as much terrible as it was painfully boring, especially towards the second half - at least for me. I've had more exciting prostate exams. And, ...
Coppa Italia: Roma eases past Catania, Roma-Inter for the 4th consecutive time
By Francesco | May 8th, 2008Roma-Catania was a match where both teams came in focused on other objectives. Roma, of course, are still alive in the battle with Inter for the Scudetto, while Catania are in relegation trouble and are focused on saving themselves from the infer ...
Coppa Catania Liveblog: Ambien Disguised As Calcio
By chris | May 8th, 2008Roma Through. Hooray. Catania 1 (1) v Roma 1 (2) GAME 89' Another foul on Espo. Somebody needs to check that stat. He gets fouled at least 2-3 times every game he comes on. 88' Curci catching crosses like he's shagging flies before a base ...
Coppa Italia Non-Preview
By chris | May 7th, 2008So there's a semi-final cup game tomorrow. Against Catania. Against a team in very serious danger of relegation which has a game in three days. Against Juventus. Color me shocked they didn't call up the women's team. They've got about as much dep ...
Coppa Italia: Inter reaches the final yet again
By Francesco | May 7th, 2008For another consecutive year, Inter will be in the final of the Coppa Italia. The game finished 2-0, with goals coming from Pele and Cruz. Inter started the game with a 4-5-1, with David Suazo as the lone striker and and a young central midfield ...
Coppa Italia - NO FAVORS
By Johonna | May 6th, 2008Tomorrow is the return leg with Lazio in Rome in the Coppa Italia semifinals and a slightly snippy Mancio says he wants to win - "We won't be doing anyone any favours" Lazio is in a bit of a spiral after having lost to Catania (1-0), Juve (5- ...
No News is Good News?
By Johonna | May 5th, 2008There is not much news out of the Inter camp today and too many margaritas make for bad blogging. The Italian press is skewering our performance on Sunday - and rightfully so. The Corriere dello Sport did not like our game at all. The high ...
Lazio - Palermo
By salvatore | May 2nd, 2008The two eagle-centric teams face off this weekend in a bid to determine which is the most self-destructive. If you're a betting man, put money on both of them losing. Seriously, these two teams do such a good job of sabotaging themselves that I would ...
If you're going to kiss your sister...
By salvatore | April 17th, 2008It's probably best that you don't score. What else can you say about yesterday's goalless, misfiring bonanza against Inter? Even with Mauri stepping in for the injured Bianchi, Lazio pretty much dominated the first 40 minutes of the game, and ...
Coppa, Tiago & Make Up Lovin'
By chris | April 16th, 2008Coppa Stuffs Roma 1 - Catania 0 Inter 0 - Lazio 0 Having watched the Roma - Catania match and simply judging by the scoreline of the Inter - Lazio game I've come to one conclusion: meh. Coppa first legs have never done much for me beforehand ( ...
Coppa: Lazio - Inter
By salvatore | April 16th, 2008It's Coppa Italia time again, and Lazio are off to Milan today to face Inter Buenos Aires' B-Team. Aside from the trophy itself, there is also a spot in Europe on the line, so you can bet the necessary motivation will be there. The trouble is that we ...
Who Loves Coppa? Mancini Loves Coppa.
By chris | April 16th, 2008Roma v Catania Let's get this straight off the bat, shall we: The Primavera should walk through Catania on the way to the final. On paper, this isn't even a contest. This is reminiscent of the opening legs against Torino when Roma was down 3-1 on ...
Peruvians & Evil-Doers, But No Peruvian Evil-Doers
By chris | April 15th, 2008Who Wants A Vargas? Pietro Lo Monaco, Catania's sporting director, has been saying for quite some time now that when Juan Manuel Vargas gets sold, the preferred destination is Roma. Not really sure why, could be that he has a school-boyish crush o ...
Another Goddamn Tie.
By salvatore | April 14th, 2008Well, it seems the Biancoceleste are stuck in sort some of awful parody of Torino FC. If you're keeping track, that's three straight draws, and five in the last eight games. We've looked good in almost all of those games, but for whatever reason, ...
Lazio - Siena
By salvatore | April 12th, 2008The Biancoceleste will be welcoming Siena to the Stadio Olimpico tomorrow, and with the Coppa Italia Semifinal just four days away, the risk of taking the Tuscan minnows for granted (and getting seriously burned) is very real. To begin with, Sien ...
Inter Info: 3/27/08
By robert | March 27th, 2008What's up my dawgs? The Azzurri lost yesterday, 1-0 to the Spaniards. That was definitely not a successful way to stop my "itch" for calcio. They played "ehh". Not bad, but not good. There were a few points in the match that were terrific, but then t ...
Special Edition Inter Info: 2/7/08 "Robby's Back"
By robert | February 7th, 2008Yes ladies and gentlemen, I'm back. I had a nice vacation, but I'm ready to get back to work. A lot of shit happened when I was away, so let me recap. We had another disappointing ten-man tie against Udinese, Roma began to gain. The youngsters show te
Coppa, Amantino, Dead Guy & Stuff
By chris | January 30th, 2008Coppa! Good stuff. Sure as hell was a lot less exciting than the second leg against the Granata, though. Anyway, I've had my fill of Torino and Sampdoria to last me until next season and beyond. So we're moving on. Today we will find out the opponent w
Liveblogging The Coppa, Return Leg Style
By chris | January 29th, 2008Since Roma just sprung this game on me and didn't tell me it was today and not tomorrow (which I don't appreciate one bit), I'll Liveblog the game in lieu of any sort of preview. As we know, Roma put in a helluva performance last week to take a nice li
Sissoko & Stendardo Now, Mellberg In July, Tiago Still Retarded
By roberto | January 28th, 2008Reports out of Italy are confirming the signing the Momo Sissoko and Olef Mellberg this morning. Momo has apparently signed a contract for four and half seasons that will see him at Juventus until June of 2012. Liverpool will be given 11 million euros up
Coppa Italia Quaters, Plus Goodbye Tiago - Hello Sissoko!
By roberto | January 25th, 2008Fielding a starting eleven for this one was no easy task. Yet, you just knew with the atmosphere being what it has always been when these two teams get together, those who got the nod for either squad would be playing some spirited football. Or at least t
A Photo Tribute To Gianni Agnelli; The Greatest Juventino That Ever Lived
By roberto | January 25th, 2008Five years ago yesterday, L'avvocato passed away. His name was Gianni Agnelli and his legacy, within the hearts of every Bianconeri, will never die. With his family taking over the club in 1923, Gianni will forever be remembered as having steered his belo
Coppa: In the Absence of Frey, There Will Be Goals
By Martha | January 25th, 2008(Notice that topical movie reference? Has anyone seen There Will Be Blood? Is it any good?) Sorry, I digress. Lazio's 2-1 home win against Fiorentina was just what the Roman sided needed to keep a little hope in their season, and despite giving up a preci
Juventus Surge Back Against 10 Man Inter In Coppa
By robert | January 24th, 2008Inter(2)-Juventus(2) When a last ditch effort by Burdisso on Del Piero in the 9th minute earned him a red card, I sunk in my chair. (As I was following it on inter.it via their "match centre. And if you want to know, yes, it did suck.) The Bianconeri
Coppa, Coppa, Coppa!
By Martha | January 24th, 2008Both Roma and Inter went down to 10 men early in yesterday's Coppa Italia matches, with Roma losing Philippe Mexes to his second yellow in the 19th minute and Inter losing the utterly useless Nico Burdisso to a straight red in the eighth. Both teams, howe
10 Things We Learned From Sampdoria
By chris | January 24th, 2008Since it's the first leg of a Coppa matchup and I liveblogged it, I'm cheating and going the easy route. Roma can play some footy with 10 men. For much of the game, Roma was the better side. They fell victim to the fact that they had one less man a

Liveblogging The Coppa, Samp Style
By chris | January 23rd, 2008Samp - Roma Here we go, into the darkness that is illegal streaming from the jungles of Asia. I always get my feelings for the liveblogs via my coffee purchasing experience just before the game starts (I have no idea whether it works out, but run with
The Day We've All Been Waiting For: Roma v Cassano
By chris | January 23rd, 2008Sampdoria - Roma Last Wednesday evening, around 9:30 Italian time (I think), things on the Coppa side of town looked pretty dire to say the very least. It was halftime and the score was nil-nil, with Torino leaing 3-1 on aggregate. Flash forward 45 min
Controversy-Free(ish) News Roundup
By Martha | January 21st, 2008•Cagliari sporting director Nicola Salerno is reasonably confident his team will stay up. (Feel better, Jeremy?) To help with that effort, Cagliari have added Portuguese youth international Vitor Gomes on loan from Rio Ave, a second division side in Por
