Nocerino Hit By Car… ‘Mamma Mia’ whats next??

By: roberto | September 18th, 2007

Reports are coming out of Italy today that yet another Bianconeri player will likely be unavailable for this Sunday’s match against Roma. This time it was Nocerino who was apparently taken to a hospital in Turin late Monday night after being hit by a car!

The 22-year-old midfielder suffered a concussion after he was left lying on the ground unconcious, shortly after leaving the restaurant, ‘Mamma Mia’. Fortunately for his family, friends ,and fans, the injuries are considered to be non-lifethreatening as he’s expected to return home Thursday night. No word yet on who’s to blame, or whether foul play was involved at all (no pun intended).

Nocerino’s unfortunate incident begs the fan to ask the question: Are these things even supposed to happen to football players? Don’t seasonal injuries result from poorly timed tackles or insufficient warm-ups? Come on, I mean really… is this some sort of joke? Are the football gods screwing around with Juventus again? Didn’t they have a good ol’ laugh when our balding eagle defenseman Zebina was handed his 4 match ban last week? Or maybe those horribly insensitive gods just weren’t quite satisfied after handing Camoranesi his latest injury, on his first start of the season.

One thing is for sure, this weekend’s match against the Giallorossi will certainly be nerve-wracking. One reason being, the slightly unfavoured Tiago will get his chance to prove his worth to the Juventus faithful this Sunday… Perhaps the football gods have something planned for him as well.

Friends, I am in need of some help.

I am planning a trip to Italy in late April from the states to see some matches. A few of which will be in torino. The problem is that i need to be certain of match days. I was in Italy last spring and was shocked at how many matches were changed from saturday to sunday or sunday to monday.

Is there anyone or any website that could provide me with accurate match day forecasts. This is important to me because i need to be exact with my planning.

I really would appreciate any help! Thanks!

I don't think we did anything to deserve this. Nocerino did not suffer a concussion though according to news reports out of Juventus thankfully. I am hoping he can play on Sunday for the Roma game. We really need him on the midfield considering we don't have Camoranesi.
I'm going with horribly insensitive futbol gods. We paid our dues.

Juve did nothing to deserve this Chris...

Oh wait never mind. But I think we paid a big enough price already last year, quit screwing with us karma! :(
