The Classiest XI
By Jack | April 16th, 2008Their the maestros. Technically brilliant, often awe inspiring. Some would say they liken to sultry songstress Sade -- Smooth Operators. You know, the ones that lock you in and won't let you blink until the full-time whistle has gone. It's those ...
Tuesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | April 8th, 2008Look I hate to criticize a win, but someone has to do it, and why shouldn’t that someone be me. I will start some good points though, Bonera was excellent. He pushed forward and got back and made the most of his chance to play. He should get use ...
Milan 3 - Cagliari 1, ITS ABOUT TIME!!!
By Gianfranco | April 5th, 2008As I sit down to watch the Red Bulls with a towering gin and tonic, I start milling through the game post comments and game recaps on various websites. The comments coupled with the recaps have given me a strong feeling on the game, which I still ha ...
Palermo v. Juventus: Colantuono's Last Chance, Really This Time... I Swear
By roberto | April 3rd, 2008Tifosi Rosaneri don't tell me, let me guess. Colantuono's got some secret plan to beat us come Sunday. I mean, that's the reason why Zamparini hired him again, right? Well it's either that, or he persuaded your president for another chance afte ...
Exhibitions. Woo. Yay.
By chris | March 26th, 2008Spain 1 - Azzurri 0 It wasn't a good game, it wasn't a bad game. It was just sort of....eh. A performance befitting a meaningless game. No great revelations either, except that maybe kinda sorta perhaps Marco Materazzi isn't starting material anym ...
Azzurri v Spain Mini-Preview
By chris | March 25th, 2008Basically, nothing is going to be decided today (or tomorrow, depending on where you are). Fringe guys could up their probability of being selected again the next time around, or vice-versa, but there's still too much time between now and April 7th f ...
Bad Time To Be An Italian In Europe
By chris | March 5th, 2008Milan 0 - Arsenal 2: And there she goes. Milan's title defense is over a whole 12 minutes after Carletto waxed prophetic about Milan's "Champions League DNA". Whoops. From what I hear no one is blaming him, but I am for two reasons: 1. Don't tempt the
Milan 0 - Arsenal 2, The beginning of the End?
By Gianfranco | March 5th, 2008There really isn’t much I can say right now that will make me feel any better, in fact a review or match recap in my eyes is a futile exercise that may actually only make me feel worse. As I sit here and watch the game a second time around it really ha

Thursday Milan Musings

Atalanta 2 - Milan 1
By Gianfranco | January 24th, 2008Well there is a ton weighing on my mind after watching this game. First of all the Rossoneri had at least 5 solid chances in front of net in the first half. Pato missed a sure fire goal, as many of us tifosi have known in the past when Milan misses chan
Urawa Reds v. Milan, Game Recap
By Gianfranco | December 13th, 2007After a two hour commute home in a freaking blizzard, I have had plenty of time to reflect on this morning’s semifinal match. I also had a chance to listen to World Soccer Daily radio show on Sirius, which put me in a worser mood. It all started as I
World Club Cup: Urawa Reds v Milan
By Martha | December 13th, 2007It turns out Milan in Japan are a lot like Milan in Italy: Lots and lots (and lots) of possession, but not a lot of scoring. The Italians were the better side this morning by about 200 miles and absolutely dominated the match, but it took them ages -- not

Odds and Ends Because There's Really Not Much Going On That's Not Champions League
By Martha | November 27th, 2007•Gigi Cagni is shocked he was sacked. Aw. Poor guy -- he did take Empoli to their first-ever European place, so I suppose it wasn't unreasonable to expect a certain degree of loyalty. •Brazil's Olympic team has been named, and a certain teenage Ros
Scotland v Azzurri: Well, That'll Do

Milan 0 - Roma 1
By Gianfranco | October 28th, 2007I am absolutely furious. That was one of the worst games I have seen in a long time on all different levels. From the passing, to the opponents, and the officiating it was one of the worst advertisements for Serie A and just plain bad football. Ball
Milan 1-Palermo 2, Wasted Chances
By Gianfranco | September 27th, 2007Well things have somehow managed to get worse. 4 games yielding only 3 points means that things are heading south quickly for the Euro Champs. Another ninety minutes gave another slew of missed chances on net. Scoring only one goal in an entire half of
