this has gotten ridiculous...i've been reading for weeks how Juventus are chasing Xabi Alonso, but then you hear Real are after him and i've lost allfaith because you just know their going to come over the top and blow Juves, or anyone else's offer for that matter, out of the water.

My stats are pretty? not as pretty as that 4th star on the Italy shirt...
and what point were Italy gifted in the 90th minute? in the match against the USA? as Tevez said, how can the USA be expected to win a game in which they neverled?
are you referring to the round of 16 match vs Australia...
i'm sorry but i just dont see your logic here..."Italy would be NOTHING if they werent awarded that point vs the USA in the world cup in groupplay"...and i dont mean too sound like the lone, arrogant Italy supporter here but i hope your not implying that Italy didnt deserve that world cup 3years...
I just dont see what Lippi's thought process was when choosing his line-up for this match (never mind what the hell was going on in his head when selectingthe team before the tournament).
starting at the back 4, you take out Grosso, who has been a very effective and reliable left back and...
Antonio Cassano, Antonio Cassano, Antonio Cassano. i have been saying it for the longest time, he was probably the best Italian player in serie a this seasonbut Lippi has something personal against him, the boy is a beast and needs to be re called. the guy is out of his mind but he is a pure...
USA is completely out matched through the first 25 minutes. as much as i want to believe that the US can go deep into next years WC, they make the dumbmistakes that lead to goals (the give away in the mid field vs Italy that led to Rossi's first goal, and now the counter attack that leads to...
True about Naples, after cvisiting i now know why almost every italian-american has roots in southern italian towns such as Naples...because if your from Rome,Milan, or Florence you have no reason to leave...Naples, Calabria, and parts of Sicily can be shady
I am a soccer fan who was born and bread in America to a family of Italian heritage, all 4 grandparents were born in Italy.
Despite have an Italian flag in my avy, i do support the USMNT, just not when they play Italy. the reason being is that my club team is Juventus of Italy andfor 9 months a...
like it or not, Italy are the world champions and they deserve it. are they the best team in the world rite now? no, mostly because the age of the WC winningsquad has caught up to them.
they went into Germany in '06 and did not concede a goal from open play, just an own goal vs USA, and Zidan's...
Luca Toni has turned into a certified BUM when playing for the national team. Yes he plays well for Bayern during the season, and he was a HUGE part of Italywinning WC '06, but so was Marco Materazzi. Materazzi is out and Toni needs to be to. he is in the game for his size and strength in the...
Giuseppe Rossi is example A why Italy needs to go out with the old and in with the new.
Toni out, Gilardino out, Gattuso out, Legrottaglie out, Zambrotta out.
Rossi in, Giovinco in, Cassano in, Santacrocce in, Santon in, Marchisio in, Balotelli in.
Italy is relying on the old guard, Marcello Lippi is too loyal to the guys that won him the WC in '06
The midfielders he chose for this tournament proves it...after this past season only De Rossi should be a sure thing, even Pirlo slipped up. Italy has some ofthe best youth prospects in the...
unless Real Madrid completely overhaul their back 4, they'll be lucky if they win the Coppa Del Rey.
Barca are still the favorites in La Liga, and their are still a few teams who are more well built for success in the Champion League
I dont think i'm getting screwed. i show up to the bar at 6:00 after leaving my day job, work for 7 or 8 hours, in a bar with a great atmosphere filledwith girls, and leave with $250-$300 cash money in my hand...and i get drunk for free. all because my customers are nice enough to drop me $1 or...
