Roma Is Burning Or Should Be Roma need to step it up and continue to set a fire underneath themselves, as this season's Champions League Final will be held at the Stadio Olimpico. In knowing the final will be played on their home pitch in front of their fans, the boys in red should gain inspiration and desire […]

Yoann Gourcuff's first-half strike gave Laurent Blanc's side the lead, but Mirko Vucinic brought the visitors level midway through the second half, before Julio Baptista struck twice in the final quarter of the match to revive Giallorossi Champions League ambitions. There was no surrender that typified Bordeaux's 4-0 defeat by Chelsea in their first match in Group […]

OUCH ROMA, what are you doing?  Falling behind to Genoa in the 4th minute the Giallorossi battled back on a beautiful goal from Daniele De Rossi only to be shattered by Diego Milito with two second half goals.  Mr. Milito is certainly making an impact in the early going of this season isn't he.  In the words of Gol TV's Ray Hudson,  […]

Remember Serie A tifosi this is a short week in Italy, Match Day 4 games are being played on Wednesday, September 24th.   Tricky match for Roma away to Genoa this match day and although they've found their footing and confidence, in beating Reggina 3 – 0 Match Day 3, I think this one is going to […]

LOCAL TIME ROME ITALY: (minus 6 hours for NYC time) CFR CLUJ WHO? are the headlines in Rome after Romanian club CFR Cluj made front-page news this morning beating A.S. Roma 2 – 1 at the Stadio Olimpico, in the opening day action of Champions League. CFR Cluj play in the Romanian Liga 1, and currently sit seventh in their domestic league.

This week's winner was scored by Fabrizio Miccoli. Miccoli bagged two goals on Sunday against Roma but it was the first one which was particularly nice and helped set tempo for the rest of the match.  Sadly Miccoli left the match after experiencing a muscular injury in the second half and Palermo are currently awaiting results on the extent of […]

I'm going out on a limb in suggesting Udinese will beat Juventus.  Di Natale is the man of the moment and Amauri has been the signing of the summer so far.  Also like Roma over Palermo and Seina to do the business at home over Cagliari. Match Day Two Pick the Score Juventus vs Udinese This […]

The group stage kicks off in about two weeks so until then I will be doing previews of the group stage in alphabetical order. I wanted to wait until after the transfer window had closed so that I would be able to judge the rosters fairly. There were some last minute moves that could have […]

Serie A On TV  has been updated for this week so check it out for Match Day One repeats.  There is no Serie A next Saturday due to World Cup qualifying, Serie A will return with Match Day Two Saturday Sept. 13.

Several pundits have offered opinions on which group will be the toughest and which Serie A club(s) have the most difficult task of proceeding further so I might as well throw my hat in the ring with the rest. Roma and Juventus are going to face the toughest battle in groups A and H respectively. Roma will be […]

It took more than 90 minutes but the outcome was similar to their last win back in 2006, as Internazionale are winners of the first Cup of the season, walking away with Super Cup silverware yesterday evening. New signing Sulley Muntari scored first for home-side Inter in the 18th minute (what an amazing start for him as […]

Inter Milan meet A.S. Roma for the Italian Super Cup this evening in what has become an annual event.  The Super Cup is a pre-season football competition held the week before the beginning of each season.  It is contested by the winners of Serie A and Coppa Italia from the previous season and helps set the tone for the current […]

For the 2008-2009 season,
