Previews: Half-assed Preview of Juventus-Artmedia and Squad Updates
By: alessio |We’re back, ladies and gentlemen. After two years of exile, Juventus FC officially re-enters the Champion’s League in the 3rd-round qualifiers. Win this two-legged tie and we’re into the lucrative group stages. Our opponent this year is FC Artmedia Petržalka, who won the Slovak league last year. In terms of Uefa co-efficients, they are below [...]
Liveblog: Manchester United v. Juventus Pre-season Friendly
By: alessio |So, I was going to be at the beach all day today, but a storm decided to roll in this morning. End result? I’m sitting inside the beachhouse watching the rain come down, pretty cool stuff. But the upside is I’ll be watching this glorious friendly as well, and I figured, if I’m watching, why [...]
A letter to Donadoni: How to fix Italy’s problems
By: alessio |Remember this picture, Mr. Give Gifts? This was after losing to Hungary, 3-1. I know, I know, it’s just a friendly. But “it’s just a friendly” left La Nazionale’s phrasebook when Lippi took over. Apparently, so did our will to win.
Player Ratings: Juventus Season 2007-2008

Previews: Sampdoria-Juventus and words on Tiago and Amauri
By: alessio |Well, Juventini and anti-Juventini, (is there anything else?) it’s come down to the last day of the season, sadly enough. Now starts the boring summer months of transfers and pointless friendlies. (Anyone know if a Serie A team is touring America? I’m here all summer) But before this downtown, there’s one game left! While not [...]
Palermo v. Juventus: Colantuono’s Last Chance, Really This Time… I Swear
By: roberto |Tifosi Rosaneri don’t tell me, let me guess. Colantuono’s got some secret plan to beat us come Sunday. I mean, that’s the reason why Zamparini hired him again, right? Well it’s either that, or he persuaded your president for another chance after he touched his nose with his tongue and made some funny animals out [...]

Palm Sunday Victory & Wednesday Night Ashes Before Saturday’s Derby d’Italia Clashes
By: roberto |An 87th minute strike from Vincenzo Iaquinta gave Juventus the victory against Napoli by way of a heavenly first-touch. My goodness I’m obsessed with first-touches now more then ever. Can someone tell me if there’s anything more fundamentally important to playing the beautiful game than a good first-touch? Nedved certainly can’t. Whether you value a player [...]
