After the Monday massacre at the hands of the Oranje, my two cents has always been that Donadoni has still not done enough to transform to a youth movement with the national team and continues to rely on veterans that are or are getting too long in the tooth, particularly in the midfield and the [...]

On the morning of the Euro 2008 kick off, I am sitting at my computer with rest of the family asleep reading up on some updates to the fast and furious rumours and I thought I would share them with you:
A few days ago, it appeared inevitable that Livorno defender Giovanni Pasquale was on his [...]

What a blow for the national team losing my hero Fabio Cannavaro after a nasty collision with Juventus’ Giorgio Chiellini during the Azzurri’s first training session earlier today. Cannavaro’s ankle injury will keep him out of the entire Euro 2008 tournament. I am shattered and rattled but not broken and still think the team has [...]

As we gear up for the Euro Cup 2008, I can’t help but pass along some summer transfer market rumours as they pertain to our boys:

In what many Lazio tifosi believe will be current coach Delio Rossi’s last game with the biancocelesti, his squad did celebrate an end-of-season victory in a rather dry and boring Serie A season finale by downing the Azzurri 2-1. Rossi’s future remains very much in the air after a disappointing season which started with Lazio [...]

In yet another example of playing the “big boys” tough in the 2007/2008 Serie A season, the Partenopei pulled out an outstanding performance against the big rosso-nero machine and in doing so dealt a crushing blow to Milan’s hopes of a 2008/2009 Champions League qualification spot. The Azzurri were powered by goals from Marek Hamsik, [...]

Our boys headed into Torino after a goalless draw at the San Paolo stadium the week previous against Siena in a very winnable match. The Partenopei were sitting comfortably in ninth-place with 47 points and Manager Edoardo Reja was disappointed with the Siena draw when he declared, “Seeing the results from the other games we [...]
