Benfica handed Everton another painful lesson at Goodison Park. The two-goal margin
of victory could actually have been larger, the Portuguese side missing several chances to increase
the embarrassment for Moyes's men. In the event, Benfica settled for two second half goals, one
from Saviola and one from Cardozo. Click to continue reading...

En Retrofootball queremos hacer un artÃculo diferente. Esta semana reflexionamos sobre las
competiciones europeas que consideramos tenÃan más emoción hace unos años.
Con la Ley Bosman y la necesidad de generar ingresos, la UEFA ha ido cambiando el panorama de
las Competiciones Europeas los últimos 10 años.

The highlight of this weekend's fixtures was the match at the Olimpico in Turin between
Juventus and Napoli. After numerous quality acquisitions over the Summer for Napoli, they hadÂ
been expecting a good start to the season. However, after a less than impressive start, Roberto
Donadoni was sacked and Walter Mazzarri brought in to try and settle the ship.

A few nice goals this week, but nothing extraordinary. Giuseppe Mascara scored one of his
trademark wonder-goals, and Marco Borriello got back on the scoresheet with 2 goals (the second a
nice scissor kick) after almost a year. Diego Milito got back to his scoring ways as well after
being absent through injury, and Mirko Vucinic finally scored his first goal of the season.
Napoli won vs. Juventus in Torino for the first time since November 20, 1988, when Maradona's
Napoli won 5-3. Since then, there had been 11 wins and 5 ties, and Napoli hadn't scored in Torino
since March of 1998. This Napoli side has been rejuvenated under Walter Mazzarri, and they have
shown they have a never say die attitude that keeps them working for the full 90 minutes.
The UEFA Europa League continues its group stage matches on Thursday, November 5, 2009. While
not as prestigous as the UEFA Champions League, its a chance for smaller clubs and clubs from
smaller countries to prove themselves. Here's a list of predictions, previews, and USA/UK TV
Listings.

A Halloween weekend for the 11th matchday saw tricks and treats for various clubs, players and
managers. In honor of the holiday, we will take a look at those who got their candy this weekend
and those who got toilet papered.
Treat: Inter Milan on Top
An expected win by Inter over Lavorno coupled with a Juventus loss to Napoli and Sampdoria tie
with Bari has left the Nerazzurri seven points up on the top of the table.
Guidolin has revolutionized Parma, with young Italian players like Paloschi and Galloppa, mixing
with older players that share their experience like Panucci and Zaccardo, Parma has turned into a
team that is ready to shine. With an experienced coach like Francesco Guidolin, Parma look to be a
consistent side that won't die out after a few more games.
Midweek matches see some excitement and some scoring that has been absent in many match days.Â
The top of the table also has a familiar look with Inter, Juventus, and Sampdoria in the lead, but
watch for an approaching AC Milan in the rearview mirror.
AC Milan is Rolling, but Defense is a Concern
AC Milan blitzed Napoli for two goals in the first five minutes.
Fabrizio Miccoli has really become the undisputed leader of Palermo. The diminutive fantasista,
or il Romario del Salento as he is so aptly nicknamed, has been putting in great
performances this season and had a great year last season, and it looks like he has finally found a
place to show all of his talent.
England manager Fabio Capello breezed into the school of excellence at Coverciano on Monday with
the air of authority that comes from having won everything there is in the club game. He was there
to give an inspirational speech to the school's students who want to follow in his footsteps.
Instead, Capello launched an unexpected and scathing attack on the state of Italian football,
telling the assembled audience that the game on the peninsula is now being held hostage by the
Ultrás.
Although we are only 10 games into the season, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is starting to look more and
more like a big flop. 15 million euro were spent on the Dutch striker, and even if he reaches 5
goals this season it would seem like a big achievement. Sure you can say that he needs time to
adapt to a new style of play, new language, new culture, but it's already November almost and we
still have not seen Huntelaar's name on the score sheet.
Highlights and goal videos from the Inter Milan ( Internazionale) vs Palermo Serie A game on
Thursday, October 29, 2009. Match kicks off at the San Siro at 19.45 UK time. Because of
Sampdoria's loss to Juventus, Inter can increase their lead at the top of Serie A if they beat
Palermo. Related posts:Inter Milan v [. Click to continue reading...
Video goal highlights from the midweek Juventus vs Sampdoria Serie A game on October 28, 2009-
Wednesday. Juventus are third in the table going into this game, while Sampdoria, thanks to their
impressive start to the season, are a place above the Bianconeri. Kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the
Stadio Olimpico in Turin. Click to continue reading...
I didn't put up a Weekend Round-up yesterday because I figured with the midweek round tomorrow,
it would be pointless to update everything twice. So we'll dive in straight to Goals of the Week.
Not as great as last week, but still some good goals, especially Daniele Mannini's one-time volley
vs.
Inter, Sampdoria, Juventus, Palermo, Fiorentina and AC Milan all won this weekend to raise the
stakes for the mid-week matches: Genoa v. Fiorentina, Napoli v. AC Milan, Juventus v. Sampdoria,
and Inter V. Palermo (29th). Clear your schedule Wednesday and Thursday for some great
calcio.
Have nothing to do with RomaLazio as far as buying tickets for Roma or Lazio tickets. They are
unreliable. They do not respond. They are BAD! Tags Soccer News football Click to continue reading...
Dopo la due giorni di Champions, che ha riservato come al solito grandi emozioni e una
pioggia di gol, spazio alla terza giornata dell'Europa League. In campo, per quanto riguarda
le italiane, il Genoa e le due romane. Trasferta insidiosa per i liguri che fanno visita ai
francesi del Lille, col morale sotto i tacchi a causa della batosta rimediata, al
Ferraris, in campionato (5 a 0 per l'Inter). Click to continue reading...
This is going to be a good goals of the week post. There are many nice goals, and in particular
the goals from Stankovic and Dessena are awesome to watch. Goals after the jump.
Dejan Stankovic vs. Genoa Stankovic notices that Amelia makes an error on the clearance and moves
to the right, hitting the ball on the volley from way out and it sailed over Amelia and into the
net.
Former Tottenham, Lazio and England legend once again sets himself up for a fall. In a perfect
world someone would take him to one side and try to guide him back to a sensible path where he
doesn't look like he is going to self explode at any given opportunity, but then this is of course
a far from perfect world.
Sampdoria striker Giampaolo Pazzini took a vicious elbow to the nose from Lazio goalkeeper
Fernando Muslera as he tried to punch the ball away during Sunday's match. Pazzini suffered a
"fracture of the nasal bones" and will be out for a month.
Malicious or did Muslera's elbow jut out toward Pazzini's face in some kind of reactionary
attempt to keep the flying striker from landing on him?
The picture on the left is the photo sequence of Dejan Stankovic's 54 meter long strike vs Genoa
on Saturday. Marco Amelia messed up his clearance, and Stankovic coordinated a beautiful volley
that sailed over Amelia and bounced into the net. Goals from midfield are always nice to look
at.
