baby weight strategy as opposed to what Claudine Keane has been advocating.

They left the Rossoneri two days apart form each other, but Ancelotti
and la leggenda Maldini still love one another the same! How
sweet but too bad many Milanistas don't share the same sentiments. Anyway, tonight's Inter-Chelski
match up should be exciting even though Senhor Mourinhoooo says knowing too much
about his former team isn't that helpful.

Paolo Maldini ist die italienische Legende schlechthin. Auf der ganzen Welt kennt man ihn, was nach
etlichen Champions League Titeln, unzähligen Meisterschaften und vielen Länderspielen ja auch
kein Wunder ist. Ganze 25 Jahre lang schnürrte er auf höchstem Niveau seine Fussballschuhe
schafft es sogar heute noch, unser Herz ein wenig zu bewegen.

When the word longevity is uttered in football conversation, images of Paolo Maldini and Ryan Giggs
are probably the first to be conjured. But for 18 top-flight years, Gary Speed plied his trade at
the highest level of English football, earning himself a reputation as one of the Premier League's
most consistent performers and one of the game's model professionals, as well as setting the goal
and appearance benchmarks for Welsh compatriot Giggs to reach.

Sir Alex Ferguson has today revealed that AC Milan legend, Paolo Maldini, had been on his wanted
list for years.
After starting with the youth team in the 1970's, Maldini went on to play for the first team for
25 years, making a total of 902 appearances. Milan retired his number three shirt, only to be worn
again if one of his sons plays for the first team.

End of decade lists are a tricky business. I mostly enjoy them, but am somewhat skeptical of
anything that tries to boil a decade down to a list of the ten best. Mostly because someone always
gets left out, the one to ten rankings are somewhat arbitrary, and the resulting debate is an
apples to [...]

In the post-holiday season, Nike has upped its newest shoe campaign to honor one of the most
decorated Italian soccer player ever and his international teams' accomplishments.
The Nike Tiempo 94 cleat is a re-release of the original 1994 shoe worn by
Italian World Cup team members, but of course with updates in the latest shoe technology.

All month I've been seeing these "Top _____ of the Decade" posts all over the Offside, so I
thought with 2010 just around the corner it's time to unveil the list of the top 20 Italian players
of the decade (2000-2009). For this list I considered any player that played a season from
2000-2009, but naturally they have to have made a big impact to be on this list.

From the US Soccer website's game notes:
There are a few instances in sporting history of father's coaching their son's at the highest
level. A couple of famous ones include - Cesare and Paolo Maldini in soccer and Cal Ripken Sr. and
Jr. in baseball.
"But how about having two teams with this phenomenon playing against each other - anyone heard
of that happening?

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 Offside's Main Page decided to compile a list of the "100 Best Players of the Decade." I
thought it might be of some interest to you, especially since Arsenal is out of action for a couple
of weeks. It was voted on by all of the Offside's bloggers, as well as readers. I will say that I
thought the criteria was a little vague it was simply to name the 20 best players who played in the
decade.

When you think of football's greatest one-club men, the likes of Tony Adams, Paolo Maldini and Ryan
Giggs spring to mind. But how hard can it be to stay at a club at the pinnacle of European
football? Was their loyalty truly tested? The same question cannot be asked of Matt Le Tissier, the
Southampton legend and one of the finest players to grace the Premier League stage.

Milan vs. Inter
Could the Derby della Madonnina, the first big derby of the 09-10 season in any European league,
live up to the hype? Inter came into the game favorites to win the scudetto after mostly adding to
the squad that has won the Serie A four years running. AC Milan did not add much in the offseason,
and suffered the huge losses of Carlo Ancelotti, Paolo Maldini and Kaka.

In 2003 Italian club football reached its peak when AC Milan and Juventus met in the Champions
League Final in Manchester. Six years later, that same Final was held in Rome, but Italian sides
were nowhere to be found. All of them had left the competition following the Round of 16. The
2008-09 campaign was a step back for Serie A.

American Lance Armstrong seems to be channeling Paolo Maldini these days by hanging tough with
athletes who were born at least a decade after him. Today on the Tour de France's gruelling 20th

After much speculation and interest from over a dozen clubs, US and Standard Liege defender Oguchi
Onyewu has just signed a 3-year deal to join AC Milan. He will be the first American to play in
Serie A since Alexis Lalas played for Padova from 1994-1996.
Gooch's move to Milan makes much sense when one considers that the Rossaneri's ageing back line was
overdue for renewal, especially given the retirement of longtime great Paolo Maldini.
