Arsenal confirmed that Robin van Persie will be out for six weeks. He tore his ankle ligaments
against Italy and was stretchered of after a tough Chiellini tackle. Van Persie will travel to
Serbia this week to undergo a unique treatment. PSV midfielder Engelaar informed the Gunner about
this method and Click to continue reading...
A number of players can stake a claim for being part of the best team in the world at this early
period of the European domestic leagues. However, very few players standout the way those listed
below have in terms of their contribution to their team, their role as leaders, and certainly their
crucial involvement in their respective clubs.
In football attacking players often get most of the praise when their team is achieving results
while players in other positions are often overlooked. Defenders are typically ignored when
accolades and awards are given out, yet it would be wrong to underestimate the contribution and
influence of key defensive players such as Italy's Paolo Maldini or France's Lilian Thuram, just
to name a couple of outstanding talents.
The Italian Serie A kicked off with a round of midweek games, many spectacular not only results
wise, but also the repurcussions that the results will have. Here is a wrap up of the biggest games
of this matchday. Inter Milan faced off against Palermo, providing an eight goal thriller with the final score being
5-3 to the neroazzurri. Click to continue reading...
Its a list, and a damned long one, but well worth taking a look at! We love Four Four Two,
almost as much as we love Fennec Fox's.
Our friends over at Four Four Two have compiled their annual list of the top
100 players in the world today, take a look below and let us know what you think?
Sono incazzato come una biscia. La partita di ieri, contro il modestissimo Bologna, andava vinta
in scioltezza e con almeno due goal di scarto. Non serve a nulla triturare Roma e Lazio a
domicilio, se poi si impatta con una squadretta di questo calibro in casa. Soprattutto se la
"corazzata piu' forte del millennio", nel frattempo viene affondata da un'ottima Sampdoria e il
mister dei nerassuri sbrocca di testa evidenziando le prime tensioni con la societa'.
Passata la settimana di Champions si torna a parlare della Serie A di Calcio. Oltre al pari,
rimediato contro il Bordeaux, capace di rimontare il gol di Iaquinta, al termine di una prestazione
non eccelsa, la Juventus deve fare i conti con l'infermeria. Ferrara, comunque, non vuole accampare
scuse anche se la lista degli infortunati s'ingrossa sempre più. Click to continue reading...
La Serie A riposa, è tempo di parlare di Nazionale e di due match fondamentali per la
qualificazione ai Mondiali del 2010. Stasera l'Italia affronta il primo impegno importante, la
Georgia, allenata da una vecchia conoscenza della Serie A e del calcio italiano, l'ex allenatore
interista Hector Cuper. Click to continue reading...

The U.S. men's national team will play its first rematch from the 2006 World Cup today as they
take on defending World Cup champion Italy (2:25pm, ESPN).
If you have been curious to know what the Italian national team will look like when it lines up
against the U.S. national team in Monday's Confederations Cup opener for both teams, today is your
chance to see the "Azzurri".
Italy will face New Zealand today in a friendly in South Africa (4:40pm, GolTV).

Today was the FIFA deadline to submit the final 23 man roster going to the Confederations Cup,
and Marcello Lippi has picked his 23 man squad. He had already chosen 13 names, but he added on 10
more. There are no real surprises (besides the inclusion of Davide Santon), and the squad is mostly
what we've seen for recent qualifiers and friendlies.
Today the list of 35 players was announced that will play in a friendly on June 6th in Pisa vs.
Northern Ireland and the upcoming FIFA Confederations Cup. 22 players were called up for the
Northern Ireland game, while 13 will skip that match and go straight to South Africa. Lippi said in
recent weeks that the roster for the Northern Ireland match would be mainly experimental and would
give national team experience to the players that merited a call-up based on their play throughout
the Serie A season.
Sono state diramate, dal selezionatore azzurro Marcello Lippi, le liste dei convocati per
l'amichevole che la nazionale italiana sosterrà , a Pisa, contro l'Irlanda del Nord, e di coloro
che faranno parte del gruppo impegnato nella Confederation Cup, ormai alle porte. Continua
l'ostracismo nei confronti del barese Antonio Cassano. Click to continue reading...
As the football season winds down, the transfer season is just about to kick off and I thought
I'd get a jump on the competition (the English/Spanish/Italian press) and name my top 10 potential
signing stories. These are not my top 10 potential signings because as everyone knows, I have a
horrible eye for talent.
"Cattivone" di turno, in Serie A, è stato il centrocampista della Lazio, Christian Brocchi. Il
giudice sportivo Tosel ha, infatti, "fermato" il calciatore biancoceleste per due turni, in
relazione alla gara disputata dalla Lazio contro l'Udinese, nell'anticipo serale di sabato scorso.
La motivazione? Click to continue reading...
At the winter break, most people had already hypothesized that Chievo would be returning to
Serie B next year. But with the arrival of coach Domenico Di Carlo, the Flying Donkeys have played
with a reborn spirit in this second half of the season, and have racked up 21 points since the
winter break (only Inter, Juve, and Milan have earned more).
Well Serie A fans, welcome back. The national team solidified their chances of going to South
Africa so now its time for the clubs to solidify their chances for either a Scudetto, European
competition place, or avoid relegation. With only 8 weeks left, teams need points and need them
NOW.

Three points in the bag, and thank you Bulgaria. Italy's week-end couldn't have started
better: a win against Montenegro (courtesy of Pirlo and Pazzini) and the Berbatov boys
neutralizing Trapattoni in Dublin, Marcello Lippi must be rather satisfied & smiling at his boys'
performance: Saturday's was match which, for lack of a mind-blowing performance, the Azzurri
dominated from start to finish, and after which they are now topping group 8 of the World Cup
qualifiers.
The Italian call-ups for their upcoming World Cup 2010 Qualifying matches vs.
Montenegro (March 28) and Montenegro (April 4) have been
revealed. Italy coach Marcello Lippi submitted the list of 23 players to FIFA earlier this week, a
list which as usual contains notable absentees and a few surprises.
(Chiellini anticipa Sereni e di testa regala la vittoria alla Juventus) Torino (4-4-2): Sereni; Colombo, Natali, Dellafiore, Pisano; Abate, Corini (30' st Saumel),
Dzemaili, Barone (26' st Gasbarroni); Stellone, Rosina (6' st Ventola). In panchina: Calderoni,
Ogbonna, Rivalta, Bianchi. Click to continue reading...
El clásico que cada año protagonizan por partida doble Juventus y Milan tenía esta
vez un carácter aún más especial si cabe. Y es que ambas escuadras se encontraban
empatadas a 30 puntos, a 9 del Inter tras la victoria de los nerazzurri ante el Chievo por 4-2. Es
decir, que el vencedor se convertiría [. Click to continue reading...
Juventus marked its return to the European Champions League after an enforced two-year absence with
a stylish 4-0 win over Slovakia's Artmedia on Wednesday night. Goals from Camoranesi, Del Piero,
Chiellini and Legrottaglie made the return leg in Slovakia all but academic for the Italian
giants. At Turin, Juventus got goals from Mauro. Click to continue reading...
-Milan striker Marco Borriello has been operated on and will now start his recovery. Reports are
he will be out for around 2 months. (could be less if he puts a lot of hard work into the recovery
process.)
-Pierluigi Casiraghi is predicting a big Olympic performance from Lazio striker Tommaso
Rocchi.
