By Francesco | May 7th, 2008Cassano and Del Piero can still hope for call-ups to Euro 2008. Why? Because players going to Euro 2008 need an anti-tick vaccine (haven't they ever heard of bug spray?), so the FIGC has contacted the clubs of 48 players that Donadoni has on his ...

Wednesday Milan Musings, With a Touch of BLUE
By Gianfranco | February 7th, 2008First things first, Portugal is easily the one of the better teams in Europe, and I do not like to look all that much into friendlies. But as an Azzuri fan you really have to like what you saw and as a Milan fan you have to like it even more, this was a
Thursday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | January 11th, 2008I began researching my next post which was supposed to discuss why Milan spent the money on Pato when they had alternatives. While researching I found this, and said to myself why reinvent the wheel when all of my feelings are right here. Thanks to Chan

Milan: Still Refusing to Score at Home
By Martha | December 3rd, 2007There was a great article in the International Herald Tribune this weekend about Milan, and their utterly baffling inability to find the back of the net at the San Siro, at least in Serie A. The article offer some thoughts on the reason but, mostly, just
Champions League: Milan, Lazio Back in Action
By Martha | November 28th, 2007Like Roma and Inter yesterday, Milan go into their match in Lisbon today knowing that three points will assure them a spot in the knockout round, no matter how the Celtic-Shakhtar match ends. Benfica, meanwhile, will be desperate for a win, knowing it's t
Monday New Roundup As We Ride the Zampa Crazy Train
By Martha | November 26th, 2007•Manuela Prandelli, the wife of Fiorentina manager Cesare Prandelli, died this morning after a long illness. I'm trying to resist the old chestnut about it putting everything in perspective but it's sort of undeniable -- it's awfully hard to care about
Pre-Champions League News Roundup
By Martha | November 7th, 2007•Pippo Inzaghi's two goals yesterday moved him into a tie with Gerd Muller's record of 62 goals in UEFA matches, though it's taken him more matches than it took Muller. High five for Super Pippo. (I have this idea that Muller and Inzaghi are kindred spi
Wednesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | October 10th, 2007I want to share a quote from former Livorno hitman, Lucarelli. He likes Milan and wants to play there but had this to say, “I’m 32 and the Rossoneri like to go for younger players, but when it comes to football you can never say never." Well wh
Azzurri Call-ups: No Room for Del Piero
By Martha | October 7th, 2007Alex Del Piero will surely be thrilled to see Roberto Donadoni's list of call-ups for the upcoming Azzurri match* (a qualifier against Georgia and a friendly against South Africa), because the Juve captain successfully talked himself out of a spot in the
Why Donadoni SHOULD NOT BE Fired
By Gianfranco | September 11th, 2007I would like to take this opportunity to respond to Chris over at the Roma Blog, and also to defend The Don, former Milan man, and exact look alike of my father…SCARY. First of all I want to look back at the WC and one Marcello Lippi. I have never d
Saturday Morning Hangover
By Gianfranco | September 1st, 2007Congrats to AC Milan UEFA Super Cup champs. Hats off to everyone for making it a memorable game, with both teams sporting Antonio Puerta’s name on the bottom of their jerseys. Sevilla started off this game with a bang and by the looks of things were g
Sunday Morning Hangover
By Gianfranco | August 19th, 2007-Football Italia has named the top 25 youngest players in Italy, and Milan has only one. That player is French starlet Gourcuff. This can not be good, traditional power teams like Juve and Fiorentina have a ton of players and it worries me to think that
Pippo Picks Up Where He Left Off; Milan Lift Berlusconi Trophy
By Martha | August 18th, 2007Despite the facts that a)it's technically and friendly, and b)there's a superstition that whoever wins it won't win the Scudetto, the Luigi Berlusconi Trophy remains a big match -- a fact to which the nearly full San Siro testified -- and Milan have to be
The Return of YouTube Tuesday: Ibra is the King
By Martha | August 7th, 2007Really, not much needs to be said about this, apart from the fact that it's an ad for Mediaset Premium, a pay service on Italian TV. Instead, it's best to just basket in the awesomeness of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pele (sort of) in conversation, and the
Inzaghi turned down RBNY, RBNY better off
By Gianfranco | July 24th, 2007Pippo Inzaghi claims to have turned down RBNY of the MLS, even though they would have “covered him in gold” which are the words that the Champions League legend chose. I have to say that I am a little bit upset this, the Red Bulls are my favorite MLS
Lithuania v Italy: Totti Who?

Gila wants out, Oddo apologizes

The final day
By Gianfranco | May 28th, 2007The season did not end so well in the Seria A, but it did not start well either. Many times on Sunday it looked as though Milan was a cat toying with a mouse, but had no intention of finishing the mouse off AT ALL. Milan has been known to give favors to
Champions League: Super Freaking Pippo!
By Martha | May 23rd, 2007Holy. Crap. Ok, so the match itself wasn't much to write home about, but the two goals from Pippo and his reaction to the second were more than worth the price of admission. I will never say anything bad about the man again. Ever. Away from the
THE RESULTS ARE IN
By Gianfranco | May 22nd, 2007Carlo if you are reading this, which I know you are, the fans have chosen Pippo to start and Gila to relieve in the the second half. This is assuming that it does not go to extra time or PK's becuase then it is all up in the air again. There was one vot

By Martha | April 11th, 2007Since Ronaldo is cup-tied and Gila is and Borriello are suspended, Milan arrived in Germany yesterday with a grand total of two strikers: The utterly useless Ricardo Oliveira and poor, broken Pippo Inzaghi. I'm sure Bayern are quaking in their boots at th

One Up, Many Downs for Milan
By Martha | February 1st, 2007Just a few days after the gala arrival of El Gordo, Milan stepped out on the pitch (Without Ronaldo, of course. It's going to take him more than 20 minutes to get fit.) and were demolished 3-1 by Roma in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semifinal matc
Pouting Report: Inzaghi Plays Nice, Caracciolo Cries Like a Little Girl
By Martha | January 29th, 2007It's a little late to make the announcement, but, hey, Palermo fans? You should know you're not allowed to boo Andrea Caracciolo, no matter how ineffectual his performances are. Because if you boo him, he's going to show you his ability and maturity by le
Milan v Parma: The Times They Are A-Changin' (As They Say)
By Martha | January 28th, 2007When I started watching Serie A way back the day, the team that got me hooked was Milan. The team were so silky and skilled and confident that they were a pleasure to watch every week -- they made football look so easy it was almost embarrassing. And, eve
