I'm a keep it real, I couldn't come up with anything original and amusing to write for the intro, so let's get straight to the Team Of The Week. Remember that the TOW played matches and/or made headlines during the calendar week of March 16 – 22. The winner is:

The Serie A is heading down to the last few matches. There are 9 weeks left for teams to slip down the table or rise up the table. The marquee matchup of the weekend was AS Roma vs Juventus, too bad the match was one-sided as La Vecchia Signora dominated I Giallorossi in Rome. The […]

After this week's results in Spain, two things are clear: #1. The top 3 teams in the league are lethal & ferocious finishers. In Week 28, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Sevilla FC won their matches by a combined score of 13 to 1. Only Valladolid managed to score in their 4-1 drubbing at the hands […]

On Friday, the Champions League Quarterfinal draw was revealed and La Liga teams were given a difficult path towards an all-Spain final.

The Top 3 of La Liga remained intact but the race for 4th place and the final Champions League spot got a bit tighter. Villarreal gave up a 2-0 lead at the Vicente Calderon to Atlético Madrid and lost 3-2 with Antonio Lopez scoring the game winner in the 83rd minute. The win vaulted Los […]

Even though Italians teams faltered in the Champions League earlier in the week, there were still some things to celebrate. The best way to celebrate is to score a lot and this weekend there were a ton of goals. In Siena, Super Pippo Inzaghi scored his 300th goal in Milan's impressive 5-1 road win vs […]

This past week was a disappointing week for the Serie A in the Champions League, to say the least. As it is well known, all 3 remaining Serie A teams were eliminated in the Round of 16. Although Roma and Juventus put up a good fight in their matchups, Italy's top clubs fell short in […]

It was a full week of action in Europe. Champions League, UEFA Cup, and La Liga action. Its been awhile since there has been a La Liga Team Of The Week but considering the events of this week its time to award one. Remember that the TOW played matches and/or made headlines during the calendar […]

In the U.S., its the time of the year called March Madness. After this week of UEFA Cup, Champions League, and Serie A action "March Madness" could also be applied to Calcio Italiano.
