Before a ball has even been kicked in the upcoming Serie A season, I have already begun doubting my preseason predictions, specifically that Roma will end the season outside of the top five. But I don’t except all of the fault for this festering feeling of impending failure. Most of it goes to Roma’s front […]

It is a new season, and once again we have a new look Juventus to capture our interest. In what has become a summer ritual, the Turin giants have turned over much of their squad and hired a new coach. But that’s not all, Juve also have a new stadium, and in Sunday’s opening match […]

Take a poll of pundits and fans and you will be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t think Barcelona will win La Liga, Manchester United will win the Premier League, and AC Milan will win Serie A. And who are we to disagree? The fact is predicting that Milan will repeat their scudetto win is […]

Last season, Milan was the center of the Italian soccer world, as the two city rivals battled at the top of the table. This season, things will not change much as Internazionale and AC Milan will lead the race for the scudetto. And just like last season, Inter will likely fall just short of the […]

For most clubs in Italy, finishing seventh in Serie A for two consecutive seasons would be considered a positive result. But for a club like Juventus, it is nothing short of a crisis.

Picking Napoli to finish fourth, a spot behind last year’s finish, is certainly not a popular prediction. Most fans of Serie A fell madly in love with their attractive attacking style last season, and would be happy to see them win their first major trophy in over two decades. But despite the excitement surrounding this […]

This season’s Serie A campaign looks to be one of the most competitive in recent memory. With the top clubs from the last few seasons getting older, and upstarts gaining more experience, the gap seems to be closing and fans of Italian soccer have much to look forward to. For this reason, predicting the team […]

Juventus has been very busy this summer, something we are all used to by now, but it seems their business is not yet concluded. Earlier this week club director Giuseppe Marotta revealed the Turin giants are looking to sign at least two more players before the transfer window closes next week, an enticing revelation for […]

So far this summer, Juventus has spent money all over the pitch, already adding ten players to their books as of this writing. But despite spending somewhere in the range of 70 million euros on new transfer fees and making permanent loan deals from last season, the biggest buzz the Turin giants created this offseason […]

Yes, it may have been “just a friendly,” but anytime you can claim a victory over the reigning world and European champions, it is something worthy of getting excited over. Italy’s 2-1 win at the Stadio San Nicola in Bari over Spain may not count in terms of any competition, but for new coach Cesare […]

Internazionale have spent much of this week in Beijing, China preparing to defend their Italian Supercoppa tomorrow against city rivals AC Milan.

Obviously any conversation about this summer’s calcio mercato at Inter must […]

The Wesley Sneijder to Manchester United saga continues to evolve, as the move seems to be picking up steam. But the rumors are somewhat conflicting to say the least.
