Serie A Week 37 Review
By Francesco | May 12th, 2008Week 37 turned out to be a very interesting round of Serie A. It was filled with some much joy and so much drama. Inter, as we know by know, did not win the Scudetto. The 2-2 draw at home was not enough for the Nerazzurri to claim the title. Roma ...
Materazzi Tests the Unwritten Rule, and Fails
By Daryl | May 12th, 2008There's a sort of unwritten rule in football... that the guy who wins the penalty should never, ever take it. I personally think it's bullshit. Your penalty taker takes the penalties. And if he wins it, then he takes it. However, Marco Materaz ...
Inter - Siena: Scudetto or Bust
By Johonna | May 10th, 2008(queue the action movie music) This Sunday Inter host Siena for a game that may be the culmination of a whole season, and, perhaps, our final test. After 36 league, 8 Champions League, and 6 Coppa Italia games, almost half of our original starti ...

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 ...
Livorno 0-0 Siena, Disorganised Derby Diary
By Marco | March 31st, 2008Livorno manages to stay above water for another 7 days. Kudos to Giancarlo Camolese for sending out the 3-4-1-2 out there but the trident attack didn’t produce a single goal. Francesco Tavano started to show us some glimpses of his Valencia ...

Parma- 1 Good, 1 Bad
By Francesco | March 25th, 2008So I'm back from my trip to the Caribbean, where I met up with Tanzi and he showed me the bank where he hid all the Parmalat money. Another good thing was that the hotel had RAI International, so I got to see all the Serie A action on Wednesday and S ...

WIR: The Meat In The Calcio Sandwich
By chris | March 17th, 2008UEFA Cup Spot(s) Sampdoria 3 - Catania 1: If you missed the train/bus, and didn't show up til the hour mark, you were totally cool, because the fireworks didn't start until the 68th. Four goals in the final 22, and you don't have to look at the scoreli
Fiorentina: News and Notes
By Ted | March 10th, 2008I am SO over yesterday’s loss. Another day, another dollar, I say. I already have the blue team from Liverpool on the brain. However, some people still want to spend a little time to reflect back on what happened, so here it is… First, here is t
Week 27: 71.1% There And Loving It
By chris | March 10th, 2008Well, not so much if you're Roberto Stellone. Move that ass, Moris. Figure it's getting to about that point in the season..... Top O' The Table: Status quo. Three fairly comfortable 2-0 victories along with Francesco Totti and David Trezeguet goals and
Siena 1 – Fiorentina 0: I Now Hate Siena
By Ted | March 10th, 2008Fiorentina had the worst possible outcome to their weekend as they lost 1-0 to nearby rivals Siena, while AC Milan dismantled Empoli 3-1. Fiorentina will remain in 4th place for this week, but they are now only one point in front of Milan and in serious

By Ted | March 7th, 2008On Sunday in Siena Fiorentina will take on their nearby rivals in a derby match with important implications for Series A. The Viola, as we all probably know, are fighting hard to stay 4th in the league and thus secure a Champions League spot, a task made

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
By chris | February 17th, 2008I promise not all weekend posts will reference classic songs. Some, not all. While it's nice to see all the big fellas get their Saturday in the sun, it's leaves much to be desired on Sunday, when The Other Sixteen get to dust off their booties and kic

Palermo - Livorno, Highlights !
By Marco | February 3rd, 2008Here are the complete highlights of yesterday. Bogdani and Tavano need to score on easy chances like that. We desperately needed 1 point from this. Fucking Pink Palermitano Posse and their Old, yet non Ballotta-esque, goaltender ! Especially now, seein

Samp v Siena: More Cassano
By Martha | January 26th, 2008The more consistently Antonio Cassano plays, the more I worry about the Azzurri. It seems increasingly likely to me that Roberto Donadoni will take him to the Euros, if only because the media and the public will explode noisily if he doesn't, and he would
Week 19: Penalties and Controversy
By Martha | January 21st, 2008In a match shrouded by thick fog and whole lot of controversy, Inter salvaged three points from Parma in order to stay seven clear of Roma, who beat Catania by a 2-0 scoreline that really flattered the Sicilian club. Juve, meanwhile, slipped for the secon
Palermo v Siena: Did I Mention That Siena Don't Suck?
By Martha | January 20th, 2008Even if you're a supporter of whoever they're playing, Siena are really hard not to like right now. Despite having just barely climbed out of the drop zone (Huzzah!), they're playing with a lot of self-belief and come out looking to win, no matter who the
