Two Rounds of Applause
I’m gonna keep this one short due to time constraints, but two people/groups deserve to be applauded tonight.

Pick Our Back Four
While the never ending debate about who our strikers should be continues, lets focus on something a bit easier to determine: the defense. Buffon is a given in goal, but who should play in front of him? Nesta probably won’t return to the fold, leaving a possible disaster waiting to happen in the back. Here are your choices, pick four ... [read more]
Is this a morgue or a blog? A Review of Italy-Cameroon
To quote my favorite TV show character, Michael Bluth: “Is there a carbon monoxide leak in this house?” I’ve never seen so many downbeat comments after what was a rather decent result. The friendly against Cameroon was not an exposition of beautiful attacking prowess by any means. Nevertheless, there’s a lot to take from this draw:

My Journey to the New York Jersey Unveiling
I didn’t get to see most of the Italy-Cameroon game live yesterday. I was on my way to New York City instead (I’m a New Jersey native, home from college on spring break). PUMA was having their official unveiling of the Azzurri’s new World cup jerseys, and when Daryl passed along the invite, I couldn’t resist. Me and my friend ... [read more]
Italy-Cameroon Game Thread
Edit: Line ups:
Italy: Marchetti; Bonucci, Cannavaro, Chiellini; Maggio, De Rossi, Pirlo, Criscito; Cossu, Borriello, Di Natale
Cameroon: Kameni; Matip, Nkolou, Bassong, Assou-Ekoto; Mbia, Makoun, A Song; Emana, Eto’o; Idrissou
Ref: Bergonzi
Looks like Lippi is going to try the rumored 3-4-3. It sounds crazy but given Criscito and Maggio’s defensive and running abilities, it just might work. Plus that may be the strongest backline ... [read more]

Inter 0 - FIGC 0 A Wasted Opportunity
Happy 102nd Birthday Inter. You don't look a day over 87. Going into Matchday 27 things looked like they were lining up pretty good for us. Roma and Milan drew and we had the opportunity to “surge” ahead by 6 points instead of remain 4 points ahead. That isn’t the way that ...

Greetings, Viola tifosi. Its a big day in beautiful Florence, as out beloved Viola are nervously awaiting tonight's match against Bayern Munich with a place in the last 8 of the CL in the balance. The CL has been the bright spot in an uneven campaign for Fiorentina this season, ...
Palermo ready for another Invasion
Sicily has been conquered so many times in its history that even Genghis Khan can't keep count. The Capital, Palermo , has seen so many invasions that only Jerusalem and Ho Chi Minh City could understand. Probably explains why Palermitani are hardcore people and they probably invented the ''never ...
Mission: Improbable
I can’t sit here and be the pillar of optimism, and you may have gotten that from the title, but having been on the opposite end of not one, but two CL miracle comebacks, I can’t deem this mission impossible, but you have to understand my apprehension. It is ...
Nacho Libre = Morta Della
If you hear someone eating rather uncomfortably (and loudly) on the West Coast, its just your favorite Bari blogger munching a healthy dose of crow. Last week, after our "game" ( I put game in quotes because a soccer game should actually involve 2 teams) I took it upon ...
Honors Even at the Garilli
I refrained from hyping up last weeks 1-0 victory over Frosinone due to superstitious reasons. I will now break my media silence. Reggina drew level today (0-0) on a Monday road trip to Piacenza. Both teams were solid in defense, and their current league positions kept the teams playing cautiously. Despite ...
