As we've reported here before, it appears USA and Colorado Rapids midfielder Pablo Mastroeni is set for a move to Europe in January, the only question is where.
While a handful of Italian clubs (such as Cagliari, Catania, and Palermo) have been whispered to have interest, LFV friend Nick Thomas is reporting that interest is also coming from Spain's Real Betis and Malaga.

OK folks, now that Michael Bradley has found a new home at Borussia Monchengladbach, we still have 12 hours before we know if Oguchi Onyewu is going to PSG, Espanyol, Lazio, Bologna, or someplace England. The Italian deadline is at 6PM (12 PM EDT) so if its a Serie A move, expect to know earlier in the day.

Inter boss Jose Mourinho is absolutely enraged over the international commitments of his South American players and, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, is refusing to play any of them in the weekend's Serie A clash against Catania.

The two stories are not connected.Inter Milan defeated Catania 2 -1 on saturday.Mourinho being Mourinho said at at the end that they could have won the game 5 -1.That didn't go down so well.Catania chief executive Pietro Lo Monaco replied that Mourinho had insulted all of Catania and should have "his teeth smashed in.

On Saturday Juninho showed why he is the master of the freekick after bringing Lyon single-handedly back into this one, with a clinical display of scoring from the deadball situation. While waiting for Inter - Catania to start I decided to turn the dial to TV5 and have a look-see of French Ligue One with Lyon vs.

For some reason whenever Serie A plays during the week I always feel like it isn't the same. I love the tradition of Serie A Sundays and Serie A on Wednesday just feels strange. But it's still Serie A, so I could care less because I love calcio. Giornata 4 was another great round of calcio: Inter took sole lead of the Serie A table after getting a result vs a tough Lecce side thanks to Julio Cruz, Juventus drew Catania at home and wasted many chances to get all 3 points, Milan keeps bouncing back after a win in Reggio Calabria, Roma continues to struggle after losing away to Genoa, and Fiorentina were outclassed by Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.

The 2008/2009 Serie A season has finally kicked off, and what a weekend it was. There were so many interesting games and results. For the first time since 1984, none of the big teams have full points after the first game. Hopefully this is a sign that this season will be very exciting and interesting.

Italian Serie A : Inter Milan 2-1 Catania Highlights 13.09.08

In real time it didn't appear Sulley Muntari had even hit Giacomo Tedesco's face, which does appear to be the case from this replay. But still, it was a tap and Tedesco hammed it up for the cameras like there was no tomorrow (I'm partial to the second angle they show). Did a good job, [...]

I'll surprise a few by saying this, but this Inter team reminds me a lot of the late 90's Juventus. Not so much with regards to playing style, but with respect to a few other factors. For instance even when their match performance is far from extraordinary, the Nerazzurri manage to rake in 3 points, [.

The third giornata of Serie A had less drama and surprises then the last two weeks, but it was interesting and exciting nonetheless.

When looking at the schedule of the 5th Giornata, all eyes had to be on Milan-Inter. The Derby was important not only for fans of those teams but for fans of other teams, as everyone had to hope Inter were stopped. And they were stopped, as the Rossoneri prevailed with a thunderous header from Ronaldinho, who scored his first goal in a Milan jersey.

Round-Up

Giornata 2 was another exciting week of Italian calcio. Inter and Juventus got back on track with wins, but Roma, Milan, and Fiorentina fell back a step with losses. Lazio continues to impress (Mauro Zarate especially) and Atalanta show they are a solid side. Cagliari still finds itself without any points (like Milan) and Massimiliano Allegri looks set to be on Cellino's chopping block.

La Juve non fuga

Stesso avversario, il Catania. Stesso marcatore per gli etnei: Gianvito Plasmati, un centravanti mediocre. L'Inter sbuffa, non conta tantissime occasioni da gol, Mourinho bluffa dichiarando che poteva finire anche 5 a 1, ma alla fine il risultato è 2 a 1 per i nerazzurri.

Fratelli Bianconeri, grande occasione persa ieri sera e punti importanti lasciati per strada. Sono risultati come questi maturati in partite in casa con squadre piccole che non consentono di vincere i campionati. Quello che ci è mancato l'anno scorso sembra mancarci anche in questa stagione, nonostante la Squadra sia migliore come qualità generale e come singoli.

Aquilani e Mexes. Sono questi i due giallorossi a cui si affida Luciano Spalletti per riprendere il cammino in campionato bruscamente interrotto a Genova. Una coppia che è chiamata a stringere i denti e a dare un contributo importante alla squadra nonostante al momento non sia ancora al 100%. I circa quindici minuti giocati a Marassi dal Principino sono valsi il suo ritorno in campo dopo lo spavento di lunedì mattina, quando durante l'allenamento in palestra ha sentito dolore al retto femorale della coscia.

Mister, ci racconta per quale motivo è finita l'esperienza a Belgrado e quali sono le difficoltà di allenare una squadra come quella serba?
"L'esperienza è finita presto perché non c'erano le condizioni per continuare a lavorare. Quando sono stato ingaggiato mi hanno chiesto di portare disciplina e cultura del lavoro ma queste sono due cose che con il calcio serbo proprio non c'entrano.

Domani c'è la prima trasferta del girone di Champions League in casa del Bate Borisov, ma la testa della Juventus è ancora ai due pareggi di fila in campionato contro Catania e Sampdoria. Prima però il presidente bianconero Giovanni Cobolli Gigli torna sul derby di Milano.
