Thankfully, the Serie A is back in action after a well deserved holiday. Week 18 saw the possible revival of Hernan Crespo at Inter. He came on in the 68th minute and set up Zlatan Ibrahimovic's point salvaging goal in the 77th minute versus a feisty Caligari side. Genoa continued their march toward a Champions […]

AC Milan 5 – 1 Udinese, what a welcome at the San Siro for David Beckham. Watching a brused, battered and make-shift lineup, no Gattuso, Borriello or Nesta (yet star-studded anyway with the likes of Kaka, Ronaldiho, Pirlo) the Rossoneri performed brilliantly in front of the newcomer, besting visitors Udinese all over the pitch, in […]

Scoring 72 goals during his career he wasn't the most prolific but he had great pace and good passing ability and was of course uncompromising when tackling . An additional attribute of course is the canon of a shot Ince was blessed with and it most certainly […]

Simply awesome weekend of football and what an incredible goal fest with 41 in total, that alone should put the myth to bed about which first-tier league is more attack oriented. Juventus win against AC Milan and some unlikely candidates got on the score sheet with Georgio Chiellini and Massimo Ambrosini hitting the back netting. Chiellini's goal […]

Chief executive Pietro Lo Monaco speaking yesterday to RAI said, “This is a strategy that (Catania […]

Beckham's international future is in doubt after England manager Fabio Capello confirmed his lack of competitive action was of primary concern and reasoning behind Beck's omission against Germany on Wednesday.

After it was confirmed that Dutch international Ruud Van Nistelrooy would be out for the remainder of the season, the Madrid brass began Operation RVN (Replace Van Nistelrooy).
