Maradona Traps A Ball With His Ass

There was a charity game in Rome last night hosted by wildly popular pop artist Eros Ramazzotti. One which saw a great number of celebrities from various genres participate, and even a few footballers took part in the action. Totti coached, while ...

VotD: Six More Years Of Francesco

We'll get to this "game" bs later. News of the day: Totti hopes to play on until he's 37 or 38. Six more years of Francesco. This is the part where each of you start lead piping defenders of mid-to-lower table clubs, making sure they stay the @#$ ...

Highest Paid Footballers (and Guess Which MLS Star is #1?)

The numbers are out. Guess who the #1 highest-paid footballer is? You'll never guess. I'll give you a hint. Plays in MLS. Has a "pop-star" wife. Made an estimated $49 million last year, of which only $12 million came from actually playing t ...

Another Ode To Francesco

I wrote something. It was good. But not that good. And now it's gone. Gone gone gone. I'm too tired to rewrite it right now. So here's the gist: Yadda yadda yadda who wants some DIC? yadda yadda yadda Soros is still interested yadda yadda yadda Ro ...

Photo of the Day: Football Can be Painful

This is AS Roma's Francesco Totti, after recent knee surgery, as he shakes hands with Rome political candidate Francesco Rutelli. I guess with enough post-surgery painkillers, even manly political handshakes don't hurt. Another photo ...

Peruvians & Evil-Doers, But No Peruvian Evil-Doers

Get Ready Zebrette, Francesco's In Tow

Udinese v Roma All is right with the world again: Francesco Totti has been called up. And oh how that changes the complexion of this game. A very good squad turns into a great one and that is that. Guns ablazin', they march on to Udine. Still ...

Friday Afternoon Newsy Briefs

Frank Dr. Bozo Brozzi has said that the next few hours will tell whether or not Francesco is able to take the field at the Fruili on Sunday. Sounds like even if he is capable of going he'll be at less than 100%. I gather we'll only find out his st ...

Video of the Day: The Francesco

It's not often we still get high quality, original videos of Il Capitano, but this one's quite nice. At least partly made by Ermes, who has to be at least the unofficial videographer for Roma at this point. From RomaTube. Now pray for his return o ...

Venerdi Vitriol ! (and some Mercato musings)

 The Roman Derby was Lazio’s most important game of the season. Francesco Totti even laid flowers in front of the Curva Nord, purely because he’s classy. Add to that the fact that Lazio’s European ambitions ended a long time ago and the death o

Derby Predictions.

I decided to scope through the last Derby preview for some insight, found a few nice nuggets: * - Mark my words, after a few years Mirko will become just as beloved as any of the other non-Romanista in the squad. This is the same guy who refused to mov

Derby Della Capitale: One City, One Team, Once Again

Totti: Kickin' The @#$% Out Of Lazio Since '87

This is easily the video find of my entire time here. This is a video of highlights from Francesco's first derby when he was with A.S. Lodigiani as an 11 year old. I recall seeing him comment on this on Sky Italia or something a few years back as well.

Grazie Mister, Grazie Ludovic, Grazie Mirko...Grazie Roma

Roma 2 - Milan 1 Putting the summer of '06 aside, that was the best game I have seen in many years. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I cowered, I bit my fingers off, I yelled too loudly in enclosed spaces, I rocked back and forth like Leo Mazzone for 90+
