By: Julian | November 6th, 2009 | 11 Comments »

I’m getting incredibly tired of reading articles and having to sift through the enormous anti-Italian sentiment to find actual content. This happens all the time on British websites, and the latest culprit is WhoAteAllthePies. Read the rest of this entry »

The Revival of Calcio

By: Julian | November 5th, 2009 | 18 Comments »

For years all we’ve been hearing about is how great the English and Spanish clubs are, about how much better they are than our “aging” Italian clubs. Based on recent CL performances, that looks to be out the window. (more…)

Will Our Defense Have Problems With Pace?

By: Julian | November 1st, 2009 | 17 Comments »

Watching Juve-Napoli yesterday, I noticed something. If this is 4 out of our back 5 for South Africa, we’re going to be in some trouble. Canna struggled hugely with pacey guys like Hamsik and even GC looked a bit off his game. Grosso is still great going forward but defensively we’re going to need someone who can run back and ...

If the World Cup Started Today, Which Strikers Would You Bring?

By: Julian | October 28th, 2009 | 78 Comments »

The world cup is a long ways away and a lot can happen between now and then. Someone could get hurt and miss the cup or suffer a terrible loss in form, or some guys who suck now could get markedly better before next summer. But if the world Cup started today, which guys would you call to lead the ... [read]

Tribute to a Mad Genius: Bobo Vieri

By: Julian | October 22nd, 2009 | 42 Comments »

It’s official: Bobo Vieri has retired.

Vieri was a great striker, perhaps even the best in the world when he was at Inter from 1999-2005. He bagged an amazing 103 goals in 144 appearances during that time. He’s been to many clubs since, including stints and Fior and Atalanta, but in due time ... [read]

Are Our Problems Solved?

By: Paul | October 20th, 2009 | 26 Comments »

One of the most frustrating parts of the qualifying campaign was the lack of goals scored by our strikers. Vincenzo Iaquinta can’t seem to buy a goal, Giuseppe Rossi hasn’t looked as great as he did in the Confederations Cup, and overall the team just didn’t finish well. But, is there a sign of life?

Meaningless Game Tomorrow

By: Julian | October 13th, 2009 | 98 Comments »

Just a reminder that we have one game left in World Cup qualifying against Cyprus, a game that counts for absolutely nothing. We’re top of the group no matter what happens, and I fully expect Lippi to experiment with players and lineups. He might as well, because a loss here with all new guys in a new formation will tell ... [read]
