The eternal Hernan Crespo has struck again, ending Fiorentina's Coppa Italia run. While the Coppa Italia isn't too interesting in the early stages, I really do enjoy it when it reaches the round of eight, like it has now. Maybe it's due to the different mentality teams have when they play knockout football, and it […]

Juventus suffered last season following one of the worst campaigns in their glorious history. There were multiple reasons behind their collapse such as instability due to coaching changes, a number of injuries to key players, the management's bad decisions in the transfer market and the age factor catching up with star players among other factors. […]

The Serie A is getting more and more exciting, especially after these recent results, and the matches which will be played this Sunday. Napoli got an important 1-0 win away against Genoa, Palermo came back to beat Parma 3-1 at the Renzo Barbera, and Udinese also completed a comeback win at home, 2-1 over Fiorentina. […]

1. Bari was on the brink of returning to form Bari have been going through some tough times recently, and although they lost 3-2 at home to AC Milan, they showed signs of promise. Bari are currently at the bottom of the table with 8 points, and while the situation looks bleak, if Bari can […]

Serie A is becoming more and more interesting, and with Lazio continuing their winning streak, could we see a surprise winner for the scudetto? Lazio are currently first in the table with a four point lead on second placed Inter Milan. While we're just nine games into the season, maybe Lazio can manage second place? […]

The Serie A this weekend started with Fiorentina vs. Bari at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. And while I expected Bari to take advantage of Fiorentina's bad form, it was the Viola who took the game to Bari. The final result was a 2-1 win for the home side which dominated the game. Here's what happened […]

To say the truth, this weekend's Serie A fixtures weren't that exciting. There was no match this weekend with more than three goals scored in it, and there were two goalless matches. This weekend there were few memorable results, but there were five things to note, regarding the Serie A. 1. Pirlo saves AC Milan […]

Things have been shaken up this weekend, mostly thanks to Roma. And although the giallorossi won 1-0 against Inter Milan, they're still down at the bottom of the table in 18th place, while Inter is at the very top of the table sharing first with Lazio. While this last-gasp win might help Roma gain a […]

AC Milan seemed to have found the right combination in the Champions League against Auxerre. A simple 2-0 win with Ibrahimovic scoring both goals supposedly solved all the problems around the rossoneri. But after the match, Ibrahimovic decided to insult Milan legend Arrigo Sacchi, and show everyone what a difficult character he is to deal […]

Serie B champions Lecce have once again made the jump to Serie A, two years after finishing nineteenth and being relegated.  Prior to that they spent two years in Serie B, preceded by three years in Serie A.  As you can see, Lecce has made a habit of bouncing up and down the ranks, making […]

Prandelli led Fiorentina to a very important point, but this season there will be no Champions League, and no Europa League for the Viola. While Mihajlovic has taken over, things don't look very different with Fiorentina for this upcoming season, only two players were bought and only two players were sold/released. Probably the biggest factor […]

I always find summer friendlies interesting, you get to see how new players interact with their new teammates as you get a sneak peak to the next season. The first “big” friendly was played out recently between Juventus and Hamburg, all of the other friendlies are against teams representing regions with the score often ending […]

La Gazzetta dello Sport has confirmed that the coach that will follow in Marcello Lippi's footsteps will be Cesare Prandelli. The ex-Fiorentina coach seems to have reached an agreement with the FIGC chief Giancarlo Abete and will take over as soon as Lippi's contract expires on July 30th. Prandelli's contract is four years long until […]

On the pitch, an official has the authority to add time to a match to make up for injury or ensure that both clubs actually play 45 minutes in the half.  In the Serie A standings, there is no added time, and for the three clubs at the bottom the ticking clock is a doomsday […]
