Seeing a young Roberto Baggio, Ronaldinho, or Fabregas is always exciting, but noticing young players which in 5 years can become one of the world's best is rare. With Serie A's relative downfall compared to other European leagues, it's time to find some new stars, starting from these eight prospects: 1. Phillippe Coutinho (Inter Milan) While he looks a […]

The Serie A calendar has been revealed, and like many the first matchday I wanted to check was the one between Inter Milan and Roma. If you're interested in seeing the entire calendar, you can check it out here. Here are the so called "big matches": Roma – Inter Milan 5th matchday Inter Milan – […]

Samuel Eto'o has won plenty of trophies, scored plenty of goals, and played in plenty of different systems. He has often played as a center-forward, finishing plays and scoring lots of goals, but for Inter Milan, under the orders of Jose Mourinho, Eto'o wasn't used as a finisher, but maybe more as a supporter. Now […]

AC Milan has had good times and bad times under Silvio Berlusconi. The Italian prime minister has brought trophies and success to the rossoneri, but he has also dragged Milan into times of little money and negative results. This current period can't be described as a prosperous one for AC Milan, old players, a new […]

The rumors flying around the Internet recently have been focused on the makeup of the 2010-2011 Inter squad. Will Balotelli move to Manchester or London (or Madrid)? Will Maicon reunite with his former manager? At some point I think every player on the roster has been rumored to move to another club. But what's interesting […]

As I always say when I write about transfers, please take this post with a grain of salt – there are so many transfer rumors out there that will never pan out. That being said, Rafa Benitez should acquire Giuseppe Rossi with the money he acquires from transferring Mario Balotelli. It is one of the […]

Two massive stars in the Serie A could leave Italy this summer, Ronaldinho and Balotelli may not be the best players in the world, but they're important for the league and it's status. While Ronaldinho is 30 years old, he's still got the magic, he still creates wonderful assists and is slowly scoring more goals […]

Inter Milan have begun to turn in different directions this transfer market, while at first the nerazzurri were bargaining with Real Madrid about Maicon, now it seems like Balotelli could leave for Manchester City. The European champions would have to sell either the Brazilian or the Italian in order to begin to balance the books […]

Of the many reasons Italy was said to have flopped so spectacularly in the World Cup, one was the lack of friendlies prior to the actual tournament. Those that were played, like the Mexico loss, showed the deficiencies in the club but their rarity failed to provide an opportunity to rectify those deficiencies. In the […]

Benitez has finally arrived at Inter Milan, the Spanish manager has signed a two-year contract to bind himself with the European champions. It seems that while Benitez is a great manager, he certainly is perceived as defensive. And while Benitez has said that he likes Jose Mourinho's old 4-2-3-1 system, it seems like he'll certainly […]

While the transfer market hasn't been too busy with big signings, it's slowly been spreading that two big strikers will be moving to the Serie A for next season. Ibrahimovic and Adriano could be returning to the league which made them famous, but to different teams. The two ex-Inter Milan players also find themselves in […]

In this aggravating time between the end of the Serie A season and the beginning of the World Cup, we can bide our time by looking back at the past Serie A season. As expected by many, Inter Milan won the title. In my series of posts reviewing the season, however, I want to begin […]

The 2010 Champions League Final featuring Inter Milan against Bayern Munich drew a 1.1 overnight rating on the Fox Network. How does that compare to last year's final on ESPN? The 2009 Final, which was shown on a Wednesday afternoon, drew a 1.0 rating. So, in comparison, Fox's rating is a disappointment. That said, you […]

Ever since Bayern picked themselves up from their slouch at the beginning of the season, they've seemed unstoppable. With a consistent back-line (which includes some youngsters), a dominant midfield with Schweinsteiger and Van Bommel, and a deadly front-line with Ribery, Robben, and many dangerous strikers like Olic, Klose, and Muller. But this fantastic team was […]

Inter Milan have won the Champions League, they've conquered the greatest trophy in European club football, breaking a curse of 44 years. The Champions League was the third and final trophy necessary for the famed treble which only 6 clubs have now done, including Inter Milan. And who led Inter to this glory? One man, […]
