Totti was a star in the 3-1 win over Bari For Italian soccer fans, the international break was excruciating. The national team had two friendlies (which Arsenal fans would not consider too friendly) and watched to see who else would qualify from Europe. Thankfully, the action from this weekend was exciting enough to make up […]

AC Milan's 3-2 win in Madrid on Matchday 3 lifted them to the top of Group C and a repeat success on home soil would take them a step closer to the first knockout round. The Matchday 3 win was a big morale boost for Milan while Madrid slumped. Madrid put a three-game winless run behind them with […]

A Halloween weekend for the 11th matchday saw tricks and treats for various clubs, players and managers. In honor of the holiday, we will take a look at those who got their candy this weekend and those who got toilet papered. Treat: Inter Milan on Top An expected win by Inter over Lavorno coupled with […]

Midweek matches see some excitement and some scoring that has been absent in many match days. The top of the table also has a familiar look with Inter, Juventus, and Sampdoria in the lead, but watch for an approaching AC Milan in the rearview mirror. AC Milan is Rolling, but Defense is a Concern AC […]

A week or so ago the news broke that David Beckham would probably be returning to the San Siro in the new year for a loan stint. AC Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani has now revealed it is certain the former Real Madrid and Manchester United man will rejoin Leonardo's men in January. He said: […]

The Top 6 Keep This Week Interesting Inter, Sampdoria, Juventus, Palermo, Fiorentina and AC Milan all won this weekend to raise the stakes for the mid-week matches: Genoa v. Fiorentina, Napoli v. AC Milan, Juventus v. Sampdoria, and Inter V. Palermo (29th). Clear your schedule Wednesday and Thursday for some great calcio. AC Milan […]

I think it is fair to say that AC Milan's start to the season has been less than impressive to say the least. However, victory over Roma at the weekend propelled them into the top half of the table and then last night the Rossonerri did the unthinkable and beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu […]

There were plenty of upsets yesterday, could we see more today? On paper Manchester United, who have struggled as of late, could be expected to slip against CSKA after a long trip to Moscow but CSKA has not been performing well either. I am not expecting a feast of football from that match and the […]

Two words to describe this weekend’s action: low scoring. No team scored more than 2 goals during their match, and the highest combined goal total was 3 (Napoli’s 2-1 win over Siena). However, a more appropriate word may be clarity, as we now can begin to see more clearly the strengths and weaknesses of many […]

It’s crunch time in Serie A, as clubs must play three games in the span of 8 days this week, and even more over the next eleven days if they are playing in international competitions. It’s a Bad Month to Be a Milan Fan: Not only is rival Inter atop the Serie A standings, Milan […]

For Milan fans, the news was bad enough that they had been trounced by rival Inter while being watched by their owner and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. However, a rumor circulating that Berlusconi has been in negotiations to sell the club to Libyan leader Muammar al-Gadaffi adds to the confusion about whether the team […]

One of the major complains that many have against the MLS is that it is a developmental league. No American dreams of playing for the San Jose Earthquakes or the Kansas City Wizards – they imagine themselves playing in Italy, Spain or England. The best MLS players are always eyeing their European opportunities. Their agents […]

For AC Milan in Saturday's fabled Derby della Madonnina, Gennaro Gattuso's nightmare came true. If not for Inter's new-look, new-effect attack, poor Captain Rino would be carrying all responsibility for the unbalanced result (AC Milan 0:4 Inter). Inter earned three (and perhaps all four) of their strikes, yet more could not have gone wrong in […]

That the EPL is the best championship in the world is plain for everyone to see. The teams are far and away the strongest, most physical, and quickest. With exceptions to super teams like Barcelona, the four Premier League teams involved in the Champions League can (and do) knock off foreign opposition rather easily. Yet […]

RheinEnergieStadion I used the stats feature at ESPN Soccernet to calcluate the clubs with the best attendances. Out of the top 20 attendances in Europe, Germany had 9 clubs. This post is to equip you with a tool to help promote our great league. Because, while we are in a slump in the Champions League […]
