Juventus won the scudetto this past weekend, and deservedly so as they were the best team in the peninsula this year. Sometimes, that's just how it works. In celebration, they're hoisting all sorts of glittered beacons of success, including the scudetto tally for their brand new stadium.

The Serie A season isn't quite over yet, but Juventus defender Paolo De Ceglie has already had his Jeep repainted in honor of his club sealing their Scudetto win last weekend.

A 2-0 win against Cagliari gave undefeated Juventus their first Scudetto since being forced down to Serie B after the Calciopoli scandal in 2006.

Italian football is on a high. After years in the mires, more than partly brought about due to the calciopoli scandal of 2006, there is reason for hope. One aspect of this hope is embodied in the fact that the Serie A, for the first time since the mid-1990's, has more representatives in the Champions League knockout stages than either England's Premier League or Spain's La Liga.

Attendance at New England v Toronto game on Wednesday night in Foxborough MA was 6,680! The Revs now officially have the lamest ownership group in all of MLS.

In what has become a habit for Juventus, the Bianconeri dropped two points and settled for a draw with Catania. Juve could not defend a 2-0 lead over the visitors who have yet to register their first away win of the season. The Bianconeri squad is lacking in quality and this is evident when the legendary but aging Alessandro Del Piero is the main source of creativity for the team.
