The Offside: Italy 09 November @ 03:48 PM EST

Milan has really jumped up the table these past few weeks. After the horrible start where everyone condemned the Rossoneri to a season of misery, Leonardo's squad has made a complete turnaround, finally playing well and becoming contenders once again.

Great Serie A Games: Roma-Juve 2003/2004

The Offside: Italy 22 October @ 10:59 AM EST

The Great Serie A Game posts continue with Roma-Juve 2003/2004. The 2003/2004 season was an interesting one. Milan, fresh from a Champions League victory and with some new young Brazilian player named Kaka, were dominating Serie A. While Marcello Lippi's Juve looked to be favorites to combat the Rossoneri to the Scudetto, it was not the case.

Kaka admires Seedorf’s junk

Dirty Tackle 21 October @ 02:11 PM EST

In the lead-up to today's Champions League match between Real Madrid and AC Milan, an Italian show called Le Iene aired a never before seen interview with Kaka from his time with the Rossoneri. Perhaps the rapid-fire format put him in the mood to not hold back, but on one question in particular it would seem that he revealed a bit more than he may have wanted:

Question: "Which Milan player is exceptionally gifted down under?

Report Card: Ballon d’Or Nominations

Premiership Talk Blog 19 October @ 09:36 AM EST

With the Ballon d'Or nominations finally releasing this weekend, the headlines have mostly been devoted to the fact that world champions Italy have no representation whatsoever. But why blame the press for paying excessive attention to an irrelevant detail? After all, the award itself is destined to be heading Lionel Messi's way, which means very little is there to be talked about in terms of debating the winner, right?

Non-Stop Drama Raises Italian Stock

Premiership Talk Blog 12 October @ 11:44 PM EST

Beyond the nation's borders, Italian football has certainly faded into the background in recent years. A devastating match-fixing scandal in 2006 bitterly overshadowed the country's World Cup triumph that year while the domestic league has clearly become a one-horse race ever since. Reigning champions Inter Milan have shown no signs of a slip up in the Serie A for the last three seasons and that trend continued with their strong start to the current season as well.

Who will replace Leonardo?

Soccer Pie 09 October @ 02:45 AM EST

In spite of assuring everyone that Leonardo will finish this season and won't pay for Berlusconi's stinginess and selling of the best player, the Brazilian probably won't stay on the bench if he keeps this up.

We have already written about that he will be the scapegoat and it is hard to tell who will inherit his post.

Milan – The end of a spectacle?

Soccer Pie 26 September @ 01:23 AM EST
