Unlike all the previous Luis Figo -to-MLS stories
, this one comes from an actual, fairly reliable
newspaper: Correio da Manha is one of the biggest dailies in Portugal and has a whole lot more credibility than your typical sports rag (even if the ...
Despite playing like utter crap for an hour,
Inter managed a win against the worst club in
the league, and increased their lead at the top of the table. They’re seven clear of Roma, who apparently played ever worse that Inter did yesterday, and ...
Given how utterly suicidal Nedo Sonetti looked, standing
on the touchline in the rain during Cagliari’s home
loss the Inter on Sunday, it’s no surprise that he’s resigned as coach . Sonetti’s been a short-term manager most of ...
With their derby victory yesterday, Inter secured a
seven point lead going into the break, keeping that
distance despite the wins of both teams behind them. Roma, who end the first half with just one loss (to Inter, in which they played with 10 men ...
Amauri’s agent Mariano Grimaldi is, from all available
evidence, an unrepentant sleazebag. In order to keep his
client’s name in the press, he has no compunction about telling bold-faced lies about other clubs and their interest, as well ...
God, it just goes from bad to worse
for Milan. First there was that David Suazo debacle
last summer , when they totally signed a useful goal-scorer, only to have him turn around and join their city rivals for less, just because he’d said yes ...
Like clockwork, the Karim Benzema To Milan story
has come back around, again thanks to something the
kid himself has told the press. Two months ago , Benzema included Milan on a list of teams that he said, rather romantically, “make him ...
Milan not only scored at the San Siro,
but they won there, too. And it’s all down
to Pato ! ALL HAIL PATO! Wait, what? You say Ronaldo scored twice, and that Pato didn’t sprout wings and fly around the ground while choirs of angels sang ...
Gather round, kids, it’s Clericus Cup time again!*
You remember the Clericus Cup , don’t you? It’s
the annual tournament of clerics, hosted by the Vatican and filled with dodgy football, shout-outs to the Lord, and much love for ...
This comes from Marco at the Italy World
Cup Blog , a nice two-parter on future phenoms
the boot has to offer. Despite their young age, the likes of Romans Alberto Aquilani and Daniele De Rossi , La Viola’s Pazzini , Juve stalwarts Giorgio ...
This comes from Marco at the Italy World
Cup Blog , a nice two-parter on future phenoms
the boot has to offer. Part 1 6. Giuseppe Rossi 21 year old Jersey-born second striker for Villareal (Parma/Man U homegrown) Has the potential to be ...
Though the 4-2 scoreline flattered them in the
extreme, Milan deserved their win over Boca, and are
now the first European team to ever lift the Club World Cup trophy in the tournament’s short history. It’s just too bad they have to go ...
Mysterious, unnamed German newspapers are reporting today that
transfer window man-whore Rafael Van Der Vaart is on
the verge of being sold to his most determined suitor Juvenetus , though he wouldn’t actually leave Hamburg until the summer. ...
With Dejan Stankovic returning to full training earlier
this week, and rehab and fitness work for old
men Luis Figo and Patrick Vieira apparently going well back Milan while the team were away partying in Dubai, Inter are reportedly reevaluating ...
In a match shrouded by thick fog and
whole lot of controversy, Inter salvaged three points from
Parma in order to stay seven clear of Roma, who beat Catania by a 2-0 scoreline that really flattered the Sicilian club. Juve, meanwhile, slipped for the ...
For the past few days, many newspapers have
been making predictions about what Roberto Donadoni’s final roster
for Euro 2008 will look like. These rosters are purely speculation and shouldn’t be trusted at all. Although yesterday, the ...
Milan's Kakha Kaladze is planning to start his
own bank in Georgia (the country not the state).
Here’s hoping your Christmas is better than Nedo
Sonetti’s is looking and, ideally, includes glamorous, footballer-esque travel
plans . Me, I’m going to spend the next couple of days eating myself into a coma, but I’ll be ...
I’m not actually back yet, but since it’s
starting to look like an exodus of lumpy Brazilians
is sweeping Milan, I figured I should make some time for a post. Just a few days after Inter and Sao Paolo agreed a loan deal for Adriano , the ...
Granted, I’ve only seen three or four matches
a week this season, so I could well have
missed some awful pitches, but the conditions at Empoli today were by far the worst of any match I’ve seen. There was standing water all over the ...






















Figo Might Actually Be Going to MLS for Real (Boo. BOO!)
