AC Milan are on the rise, the rossoneri are aiming for the scudetto now that they have new stars like Ibrahimovic and Robinho. These two stars added to Ronaldinho and Pato provide an attacking group of players which seem very dangerous. Now you can follow AC Milan on GolTV, which now includes "AC Milan Channel". […]

Finally Italy has clicked. While the comeback win against Estonia was a good result, this 5-0 win shows that Prandelli has found harmony within the team. Prandelli's home debut as the coach of the Italian National team is certainly positive, Cassano inspired the team, and he looks ready to face any opposition. And with this […]

Now that Italy have won their first match of the EURO 2012 qualifiers against Estonia, it's time to look ahead. The group which Italy have been put in isn't difficult, but it could cause some unexpected results and slip-ups if the Azzurri aren't careful. Probably the most dangerous teams in the group are Serbia, Northern […]

Italy have begun to forget about Lippi and the World Cup failure, the team has new faces and is beginning to click under Cesare Prandelli. The first qualifying match for the European Championships Poland/Ukraine 2012 was against Estonia, and while Prandelli couldn't use Balotelli, Buffon, and a few other important players, Italy were able to […]

Wow, that's all I can say seeing some of the transfers that have gone through in the past few days. While there aren't too many "big" names which moved around, there's are certainly some interesting, young and skilful players which are going to be wearing new jerseys this season. Let's see some of the signings […]

Prandelli has announced the squad of 23 which will face Estonia and the Faroe Islands this International break for the Euro 2012 qualifiers. The azzurri will face Estonia in Tallin September 3rd, and then the Faroe Islands in Florence September 7th. While they aren't the toughest of opposition, Italy will also have to eventually face […]

The Serie A has begun, a nostalgic set of games which begin to show how teams will play, and what they'll get out of this new campaign. After every weekend of matches, I'll be publishing five things to note from the Serie A matches this weekend, whether it be a team in form, a player […]

Udinese have been underachievers, this was especially seen last season, when the club only arrived in 15th place. While it could seem strange that I define them as underachievers, I know the talent in the team is incredible, especially going forward. Maybe they've never had the right coach, or maybe the team never gelled together […]

Today I was a Sampdoria fan, I cheered wildly for them, and I hated Werder Bremen with all my heart. It was partly nationalistic, and mostly due to the fact that I wanted to see Cassano in the Champions League. But Sampdoria didn't make it through, they lost in the most heartbreaking of manners, taking […]

Roma are currently considered the anti-Inter, a team which invigorates itself with spirit in the sole purpose of defeating Inter Milan. And while last season started all wrong, Ranieri picked up the team and drove them to a resounding 2nd place. So plenty of fans are now hoping that starting with Ranieri this season will […]

Palermo are one of the best put teams in Serie A, while their president, Zamparini, is a bit crazy, he has made some smart signings. And maybe at first you think that Palermo will suffer without Cavani and Simplicio, I think they won't miss either of them at all. Instead, a player they will miss […]

AC Milan didn't exactly have a disappointing season, they just didn't achieve much. And while the team is full of very old players (remember Oddo?), there is a project in place, this project starts with Allegri, a new, relatively young, and attacking coach. While maybe this upcoming season might not be the best for the […]

Lazio is a team full of great players, from Muslera in goal to Zarate up front, they've got some great players, especially for the future. Last season can only be described as a disappointment, 12th place with little fight in the team, but now, Lotito hopes to change that with some new players and a […]

How can you follow up a season which finished with a treble? After 5 years of dominance in Italy, Inter Milan finally dominated in Europe, and now Rafa Benitez is left with a tough job on his hands. Benitez wants to change a lot of things with Inter, starting with the playing syle. The Spanish […]

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 […]
