Hello South Africa. Mind If We Stop By For A Bit?

By: Julian | October 10th, 2009 | 27 Comments »

We did it. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. My prediction was totally wrong, we were incredibly lucky, and we played like crap (or so I hear- I didn’t actually see the game). But I don’t care. Read the rest of this entry »

Racism, You, and Me

By: Julian | October 9th, 2009 | 21 Comments »

It’s no surprise to anyone reading this that racism has become a huge problem for this blog. I am going to very clearly lay out the rules regarding racism:
1. It’s not allowed.
That’s it. You post a racist remark/derogatory term, and we will do our best to blacklist you and edit every entry you make from then on, whether or not ... [read]

Let’s Finish The Job

By: Julian | October 8th, 2009 | 33 Comments »

One game. One more win and we are through to South Africa without having to worry about playoffs. One more match: a convincing enough display will keep the critics off Lippi for a while, at least until the call ups for next year come out. But even more importantly, a win against the strongest team in our group besides us ... [read]

Fiorentina Shows Italy How to Do it Right

By: Julian | September 29th, 2009 | 61 Comments »

I’m absolutely sick and tired of hearing about the EPL. Totally sick of it. I’m sick of hearing about how England has the strongest clubs in the world, even though Barca completely proved that wrong and Inter, Juve, and Madrid beg to differ. I’m sick of hearing about how England is that standard for football nowadays, whereas the real beauty ... [read]

Just a Reminder: Gigi Buffon

By: Julian | September 21st, 2009 | 47 Comments »

There is no doubt in my mind as to who the best goalie is world football is today. Not Cech, not Van Der Sar, and not Casillas. Buffon stands alone as the best goalie of the modern era, and maybe even all time. (more…)

The Santon Debate

By: Julian | September 13th, 2009 | 42 Comments »

One of the biggest complains you hear about the Azzurri is that not enough youngsters are called up to the team. This is due to numerous reasons; Balotelli is still eligible for the U21 team and Italy rarely calls up players that young, while other players like Acquafresca are unable to even hold down a starting spot at a club. ...
