Intro: Salvatore Bocchetti

By: Julian | July 1st, 2009 | 10 Comments »

Our beloved Azzurri is in a time of transition; I’ve said that, you’ve read that on other sites, and you probably think that, too. But what does that really mean? In essence, older players are going to be let go and younger players are going to be brought into the national team setup. “Intro” is a new series of posts ... [read]

Discussion Question: What did you think about the Confederations’ Cup?

By: Julian | June 23rd, 2009 | 121 Comments »

It’s not over, but it is for us. Last post I gave you guys my view on how we did. It’s pretty evident that I think the Cup really counted and that we now know what we have to do for next year. But what did you guys think? Take the poll and we’ll discuss it in the comments section. ... [read]


Italy-Brazil Review: Or, A Microcosm of Lippi’s Reign

By: Julian | June 22nd, 2009 | 71 Comments »

We fully deserved to exit the Confederations’ Cup. I have no qualms or embarrassment in saying that. Looking at the teams we put out there, it is nearly impossible to believe that this is the same country that won the World Cup last time it was held. Where is the solidarity? The ability to hold onto the ball and not ... [read]

Italy-Brazil

By: Julian | June 21st, 2009 | 19 Comments »

No review of the last game because I don’t want to relive it. No preview of the next one because I’m superstitious that the last one jinxed us. We played them in February, they’re fricking Brazil, and everyone knows what to expect.
Just go out there, play with dignity, and make us proud. Forza Azzurri!

Italy-Egypt Preview

First and most importantly, Cannavaro looks to be back. No he’s not the same player he used to be. Yes, he is slow. Yes, we’re in an transition stage and in desperate need of youth, but it’s pretty clear that our back line is in desperate need of experience. Expect Legro to sit on the bench and Canna to start. ...

Twas A Night Of Rossi’s

And what a night it was. A terrible first half left Azzurri fans scratching their heads, screaming at the TV, and cursing all things Marcello Lippi. But the second half, well, it surely erased a tad of what happened before. It wasn’t a World Cup type performance, but it’s a win. And we have to take that. (more…)

Italy-USA Preview

Let’s get things out of the way. Spain is obviously a heavy favorite for the trophy. If they weren’t before, after seeing them today, they definitely are now. Sure they played a pretty easy team but scoring 5 is nevertheless impressive. I hope for nothing more than us to meet them and get our revenge for last summer. (more…)
