(Yay for crappy puns based off of crappy movies)

Yeah, I’m as pumped to see him back at the helm as you are. A competent Italian national team coach? Feels like 2006 all over again
When Lippi finally gets in gear and picks his squad for the next game (which I think is a late August friendly), [...]

There’s a strong rumor emanating out of the boot that the soon-to-be-defunct Roberto Donadoni Era will make way for a return to greatness: Marcello Lippi is coming back.
I don’t think this would (will? - being called a mere “formality” and we’ve all been expecting this for some time) be a great shock to anyone, but [...]

Lowlight! Lowlights! Get Your Lowlights Right here!

# 1 Roberto Donadoni can’t fill Marcello Lippi’s shoes:
Well, it isn’t really a new thing, but the last time Italy played Holland the score wasn’t exactly the same. The thing that frustrates me the most is the DumbDon’s all around stubbornness is costing Italy some points. I won’t [...]

After catching Fabio Cannavaro’s pic during Madrid’s title parade, I came to the sudden conclusion: Fabio is the King of Parades.
04-05: Juventus Scudetto parade*
05-06: Ditto*
World Cup 2006: Parade of Champions
06-07: Real Madrid La Liga champions parade
07-08: Ditto
* - You know.
So in honor of The King of Parades, a nice highlight reel from Germany. Though [...]

And he deserves it.

There’s nothing I need to say about Totti. But little people know that Stephen Hawking and Francesco Totti are long lost cosmically connected twin brothers. In some sort of twisted demented way, Francesco Totti’s body works in the same way Stephen Hawking’s brain does! Alas, it works the other way around as well.
Although non-Romanista, Azzurri [...]

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with Inzaghi. As a youngster, Inzaghi was one of my favourite players. Even the fact that he wore the Yankee-esque pinstripes of Juventus didn’t smother my appreciation for the striker. It’s purely irrationnal, i just like the fact he has the letters Z-I and G in his name, [...]

«Nella vita non si può mai dire mai. Un giorno, non so quando, non so in quale momento, non mi dispiacerebbe tornare ad allenare la Nazionale. Non le posso dire quando ma non escludo che in futuro non sarò di nuovo ct»
FT : In life, you can never say never. One day, I don’t know [...]

Looks like The Don won’t be signing his contract just yet.

Roberto Donadoni managed the Italy squad all the way into Swiss Austria and is quite proud of his accomplishment. He’s positive that what he has done already is enough to guarantee him a lengthier contract. However, someone should tell him he did it with [...]

The reigning World Champions are looking forward to their Swissaustrian stay this summer. This is one of the deepest teams on the Travelling National Carnival. Marco Amelia’s performance for Livorno and his solid play against an aggressive Portuguese squad has demonstrated that he’s an excellent keeper. Not Gigi good but honestly, who is? Even [...]
