Futbolita 26 October @ 03:02 AM EST


One of Milan's prominent Uncle Dudes (from the Pippo Inzaghi gang), Alessandro Nesta, scored a double against Chievo to help the Rossoneri win the game 2-1 last night. Obviously, Borriello was too busy practising his model-like poses upfront.

Kaka admires Seedorf’s junk

Dirty Tackle 21 October @ 02:11 PM EST

In the lead-up to today's Champions League match between Real Madrid and AC Milan, an Italian show called Le Iene aired a never before seen interview with Kaka from his time with the Rossoneri. Perhaps the rapid-fire format put him in the mood to not hold back, but on one question in particular it would seem that he revealed a bit more than he may have wanted:

Question: "Which Milan player is exceptionally gifted down under?

Oguchi Onyewu's official AC Milan debut finally came on Wednesday, but the result of the match itself overshadowed any good feelings that might have come from Onyewu's first official appearance for the Italian club.

The U.S. national team defender played the final 30 minutes in AC Milan's 1-0 loss to FC Zurich, a loss that came just days after Milan's surprising draw vs.

Seven Days in August - how things change in Milan

SoccerLens 31 August @ 07:35 AM EST

What a difference a week makes.

Seven days ago it was the red and black side of Milan who were flush with optimism, stunned at a reversal in fortunes that had seen their hopes shattered in pre-season and then steadily rebuilt in Siena.

They had witnessed the first tentative steps of the apparent rebirth of Ronaldinho, they had seen Alexandre Pato set himself up for what many to believe will be "his" season with two clinical goals, and they had seemingly allayed any fears that the ageing and aching limbs of Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, Alessandro Nesta, Gianluca Zambrotta and Marek Jankulovski were a bridge that not even the confident and bullish Leonardo and the downright brash Silvio Berlusconi could cross.

Galaxy-AC Milan at Home Depot Center

100 Percent Soccer 19 July @ 08:39 PM EST

I'd say the boo to cheer ratio was 60:40 when David Beckham jogged out to warm-up.

The Riot Squad have unveiled some apt signs for the occasion including "Hey Becks! Here before you, here after you, here despite you," "23 Repent" and "Go home fraud 23"

(Updated: It's about 13 minutes before kickoff; the signs are gone, no doubt removed by AEG.

Alessandro Nesta done for the season. Is his career in doubt too?

The Offside: Italy 13 February @ 07:14 PM EST

Up until about 2 years ago, if you had asked anyone who the best Italian defender was or even who the top defender in the world was, many people would tell you it was Alessandro Nesta. Everyone appreciated Nesta. He has always been a serious professional who had chosen always to step away from the limelight and preferred to be a silent leader.

With Paolo Maldini in the midst of his swansong (or so we assume), Alessandro Nesta's knees aspiring to bone-on-bone and Philippe Senderos being Philippe Senderos, Adriano Galliani is looking to scoop up any aged or Brazilian centerbacks available.
