Brief idea of the day: The Uefa Trashbin
By: alessio |Someone on a Juve forum asked people to post comparisons between the success of La Liga, the EPL, and Serie A. Most people responded with UCL, Uefa cup, and Ballon d’Or records. (Serie A has marginally the best record) A lot of people brought up their ideas that the EPL is not nearly as competitive [...]
The Man of the Season, Alessandro Del Piero
By: alessio |What can you say about Del Piero that hasn’t been said already? Not much. He’s what we love- a kid from rural Veneto, growing up to be one of the world’s greatest. Del Piero’s loyalty is beyond question: he unquestionably accepted going to Serie B. For a man who just won the World Cup in [...]
LiveBlog: Juventus v. Lazio
By: alessio |After my 2nd attempt to write a preview for the game failed, I said screw it, I’ll live blog it. Check out Salvatore’s preview over at the Lazio Offside.
My favorite bar is closing tonight so I may still be buzzed. It’s early but hope to see you tomorrow, 9am EST.
Transfer Market Musings- I swear to God this will not become a regular thing
By: alessio |After missing yet another live Juventus game this weekend due to court-mandated university-mandated community service (Thank god it was the last one) I am finally back. And I know there is nothing worse than someone constantly spouting market bullshit (ah, our love-hate relationship with Goal.com) and that’s why I promise this will not be [...]
Brief thought of the day: Comparing Serie A to the EPL
By: alessio |There was a Goal.com article recently comparing Roma to Arsenal. While obviously no two teams will match up….here are the comparisons between the Big Fours of England and Italy.
Inter-Chelsea
Both teams have generally been the “other big 4 team” and did not have much domestic success until recently. Big spending by their new owners has resulted [...]
LiveBlog Juventus v. Parmalat: No, This Isn’t Another Amauri Piece
By: roberto |Aright everyone its time you wipe that saliva off the side of your face for our mid-week rescheduled match against Parma. Of course in Zampa’s case, he should be wiping something a little more protein concentrated if he hopes to get a chance at landing Il Fenomeno. But back to what matters. La Vecchia Signora [...]
A half-assed preview of Juve-Parma, just like the game itself
By: alessio |Ironic, isn’t it, that this game was delayed because of a Ducali fan was killed…..when in the Andata, it wasn’t when Gabriele Sandri was killed. You also might remember that was (one of) the games where we got bullshitted. (PK, disallowed winner) Well, the powers that be re-scheduled the game for tomorrow, same time as [...]

Juventus v. AC Milan….the real Derby d’Italia
By: alessio |I was hoping to be liveblogging the game with all of you, but unfortunately to fulfill a public service requirement for university I’m going to be in the middle of bum-fuck bayou country Louisiana from 7am-10pm. I was terrified to see that at normal zoom on GoogleMaps there are no roads within 30-40 miles of [...]
As Italians Head to the Polls…
By: roberto |The Match up: Billionaire club owner- Silivio “three times a charm” Berlusconi vs. atheist ex-Communist journalist who writes novels, loves movies and played the voice of a turkey in Chicken Little- Walter “go it alone” Veltroni. Who doesn’t like watching movies about atheist turkeys? In any case, Italy’s elections are scheduled for the 13th and [...]
