The most anticipated match-up of the weekend is the AS Roma-AC Milan contest to decide which club can challenge Inter for the top spot in Serie A. While the loser still has an outside shot at the scudetto, an Inter victory over Genoa would make it a tough task. Rather than a traditional post rehashing […]

This weekend's action has a wealth of subplots, controversy, and exciting soccer play. But the main story line out of this weekend is the standings. Right now, the top four spots in the Serie A standings are occupied by the clubs most thought would occupy them in some order: Inter Milan, AS Roma, AC Milan, […]

Fans of AC Milan have suffered through a bad four weeks, beginning by losing to short-handed rival Inter and most recently suffering a devastating defeat in their Champions League match versus Manchester United. This comes the same week that Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi criticized Leonardo's managerial style and encouraged him to allow his team to […]

The next couple of weeks will witness two clashes between Italian and English clubs in the Champions League. In perhaps the most anticipated clash of the Round of 16, Inter will take on Chelsea in a battle between the league leaders of their respective leagues. Inter's lead in Serie A is much more comfortable than Chelsea's […]

During the takeover of Manchester City last summer, City's Chief Executive, Gary Cook made several rather tasteless comments but one stood out above all the others for me. During an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Cook was outlining City's plan for world domination. As Wednesday's defeat at Tottenham showed, sometimes things don't go to plan. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Since we are approaching the end of a decade, and since it's summer,I thought I would offer up my La Liga Team of the decade. I set my team based on the best actual season had by a player in each position. It is not an aggregative list. It is not based on contributions over […]

The 5-time World Champion (and official national team of the Metellus Family) Brazil announced their roster for the highly anticipated Feb. 10th friendly vs. 4-time and current World Champion, Italy. Its a roster that was surprising due to its omissions and additions. The most glaring omission is the red-hot Juventus striker, Amauri who has carried […]

The term "Galáctico" has become a bad word in football since Real Madrid's experiment of every year bringing in "superstars" failed. Los Merengues went through chaos in that time period with too many coaches and too few trophies especially considering the talent they bought. The Galáctico time period from 2002-2006 saw Real Madrid become the richest club in football but it was […]

Things could not have been worse for Ronaldinho coming into the latest edition of the Derby Della Madonnina. He was still not at the level that people though he could be at, but then the big stab in his heart came midweek. Brazil coach Dunga left the AC Milan midfielder out of his 23-man callup […]

Former footballer Michael Robinson tackles one of the biggest questions in world football today- what happened to Ronaldinho? This is part of Informe Robinson, one of the most successful sports magazines in Spanish television. In the piece that Canal Plus produced, Robinson inteviews everyone from the neighborhood he grows up in to his teammates at […]

The eyes of the every milanista were set on this date. It was well over a year in the making. The speculations, the on again- off again of the entire operation. From the "Gordinho" headlines to his flashes of brilliance here and there all led up to his triumphant arrival to the San Siro where […]
