The Serie A this weekend started with Fiorentina vs. Bari at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. And while I expected Bari to take advantage of Fiorentina's bad form, it was the Viola who took the game to Bari. The final result was a 2-1 win for the home side which dominated the game. Here's what happened […]

The soccer press has been buzzing about the latest Wayne Rooney press conferences, statements, and rumors.  The usual suspects have been named as possible destinations: the ATMs that are Manchester City and Real Madrid, EPL rival Chelsea, and Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich.  But where Wayne Rooney really belongs is in Italy, and specifically Inter Milan.

To say the truth, this weekend's Serie A fixtures weren't that exciting. There was no match this weekend with more than three goals scored in it, and there were two goalless matches.

Things have been shaken up this weekend, mostly thanks to Roma.

While this last-gasp win might help Roma gain a […]

AC Milan seemed to have found the right combination in the Champions League against Auxerre.

Probably the biggest news to come out of this weekend's matches is the injury to Gianluigi Buffon and his subsequent surgery, which will take him out of action for a month.  Get used to the name Alexander Manninger, the new starting keeper for Juventus. The second big story, at least if you live in the […]

The Derby d'Italia Is a Match Not to Miss The goals were impressive.  The fans were incredibly creative with their chanting and thankfully not offensive.  The players were obviously emotional invested in the match, as it was stopped briefly late in the second half for a scuffle among the players.  This was the type of […]

The International Break is a Welcome One for Top Squads The 1-1 Inter-Roma draw this weekend highlighted the risk for top flight Serie A clubs participating in international tournaments; Inter has played three matches this month already and eight in the past 22 days.  Both Inter and Roma looked a bit slower and play was […]

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.
