Wesley Sneijder has been linked with Manchester United in the past few days, and not for the first time. The Dutchman has continuously been linked with Manchester United for the best part of two seasons but each time the move was apparently close to completion something cropped up an prevented it from being finalized.

Juve: Pari e polemiche col Siena, Gol e spettacolo a San Siro: Caceres l'uomo della prima volta Di Alessandro Paparella Due punti persi per la Juventus domenica scorsa contro il Siena. La squadra non ha saputo scardinare il muro eretto dal Siena di Sannino, giunto a Torino con l'unico obiettivo di tornare in Toscana con lo 0-0, e la prestazione non è stata certo esaltante, anche se un paio di

Il primo round se lo aggiudica, con merito, la Juventus di Antonio Conte. La squadra bianconera, nell'andata della prima semifinale di Coppa Italia (questa sera l'altra, Siena-Napoli), espugna San Siro e piega il Milan per 2 a 1, grazie alla doppietta di Caceres, goleador inatteso nella fredda serata meneghina.

Buon giovedi.... there's nothing quite like winning at the San Siro if you're an Italian team, is there? Just ask Juventus, who weren't even playing in front of their home fans in Turin and danced to a 2-1 victory last night!

The are important matches in domestic cup play across a number of countries, none of which is more intriguing than the Coppa Italia battle between AC Milan and Juventus.

The top two teams in Serie A open their anticipated semifinal tie at the San Siro after easing past top-notch competition in the quarterfinals.

La Tim Cup 2011/2012 entra nella sua fase decisiva. Questa sera (20 e 45) va in scena la prima semifinale tra Milan e Juventus, nel suo match d'andata, allo Stadio San Siro. Un incrocio di quelli forti, fra i diavoli rossoneri del "professore" Allegri e la corazzata bianconera del "Conte" . Da una parte troviamoContinua a leggere .

There is plenty of high-profile soccer going on around the world this Wednesday, but perhaps no games carry as much significance as the two African Cup of Nations semifinals. Ivory Coast and Ghana took care of business in the African Cup of Nations quarterfinals with matching 3-0 victories, and all that stands in the way of a star-studded tournament final is one more win for each team.

Some areas of the press are suggesting that it hasn't been such a stellar year for Gareth Bale in comparison with last season. Those reports tend to just point to the winger's hat trick in the San Siro but they conveniently forget that this has been a much more consistent campaign for the Welshman.

Big blow for AC Milan's title hopes as striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been suspended for three matches for his red card against Napoli, meaning he will miss the top-of-the-table clash with Serie A leaders Juventus.

Ibra was sent off midway through the second half of Sunday's 0-0 draw with Napoli at the San Siro after he slapped opponent Salvatore Aronica in an off-the-ball incident.

Milan – Napoli: a San Siro un test verit Di Paolo Esposito MILANO – Non ce l'ha fatta Adriano Galliani. La sua lettera al presidente di Lega non ha sortito gli effetti sperati e Milan – Napoli non sar rinviata, bensì addirittura anticipata. La richiesta di spostamento in una data nella quale fosse "climaticamente possibile disputare una gara normale" ha avuto come risposta un secco "non se ne

Inter and Palermo shared eight goals in a 4-4 thriller where Diego Milito netted all four for Inter at the San Siro. Roma's defence needs to be looked at as they were humiliated away at Cagliari. Lazio overcame AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico and the weather managed to play its part as four games were called off due to the big freeze.

Snow storms in Italy have caused postponements, rescheduling and general annoyance to Serie A fixtures over recent days. Though Inter and Palermo were able to play their match at the San Siro on Wednesday, snow removal was a battle.

Inter's Joel Obi discovered exactly where the groundskeepers put all the snow when he hopped/fell over an advertising board after chasing down a ball by the touchline.

I was not happy after Villa Why? Cos minus 2 penalties and a fluke goal, we played average at best. We rarely created any real goalscoring opportunities from open play. I am never over enthused with Arsenal when we don't actually play Wengerball.

When we get those slick passing triangles going, opening up a host of chances.

An ode to Mario Balotelli: his notorious on and off-field antics (to date) - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is without doubt one of the most interesting, but controversial players in the current game. Flashes of brilliance for the Etihad Stadium outfit, Inter and Italy testify to the 21-year-old's ability, but scandal and strange off-field behaviour have never been too far away in the attacker's short career to date.

At least for 2011-12.

Having already played once this season to raucous applause, Palermo and Inter danced once again at the San Siro today amidst the snow. Their first meeting was nice, Palermo snatching a 4-3 victory and giving neutrals the joyous gift of 7 goals. Tonight they did one better collectively a 4-4 draw, taking their tally for the year to an utterly absurd 15 goals.

African Cup of Nations (Group C), Gabon vs Tunisia (1pmET, Al-Jazeera Sports / Eurosport International):Tunisia and tournament co-host Gabon both won their first two group games and hence will advance to the final eight (while the other two teams in the group, Niger and disappointing Morocco, will go home).

AC Milan continued where they left off last Wednesday by beating Cagliari 3-0 at the San Siro yesterday to take them to within a point of leaders Juventus. Juve on the other hand were 2-1 winners over Udinese on Saturday.

Both wins see them pull clear of there nearest challengers Udinese and Lazio to set up a rather interesting conclusion to the league this season.

Benvenuto amici! Here's a perfect photo demonstrating the unglamorous side of football when you're on the pitch and it starts to rain. Believe us, it's absolutely horrible. Poor Claudio Ranieri had to stay on and watch as his Inter boys fought and sunk 0-1 to lowly Lecce at the Via del Mare stadium last night.

Yesterday was quite an afternoon of football, with two compelling Cup matches. Turns out there's more today another Copa del Rey quarterfinal second leg, another Coppa Italia quarterfinal, and this just in from our Uruguayan buddy it's time for Copa Libertadores again.

We are half way through the Serie A season; Juventus were crowned winter champions after a hard fought 2-0 away win at Atalanta. Roma hit five on Saturday evening at home against Cesena where Francesco Totti hit his 211th goal for the club. Inter Milan won their eighth straight game in all competitions after defeating Lazio at the San Siro 2-1.

Inter Milan made it 7 straight wins as they came from behind to beat Lazio 2-1 at the San Siro and keep the pressure on leaders Juventus and AC Milan. Tommaso Rocchi shot Lazio ahead in the 30th minute but Diego Milito – having found his scoring touch once again leveled things up on the [...] Related posts:

Aveva ragione il legislatore dell'antica Grecia Solone quando diceva che è bello vivere perchè ogni giorno si scopre qualcosa di nuovo.

Inter Milan - Genoa 3pm ET - GolTV The day's lone European game takes us to the San Siro for the Coppa Italia for the last game in the Round of 16. This is Inter's first game in the tournament, with the top eight Serie A clubs entering in this round. Genoa entered in the third round of Section 7, beating Nocerina and Bari to advance.

I had the same feeling as those thousands of Milan fans at the San Siro on Sunday night who left their seats early. A feeling of resignation, hopelessness and defeat even before the final whistle was sounded. It was by no means the worst Milan performance ever, but, it was far from the best. We [...]

Inter Milan are back.

The champions from 2006-2010 have stormed back into the title race after an atrocious start and started off 2012 with a bang with a 1-0 win over AC Milan. Diego Milito scored against the run of play nine minutes into the second half to wrap up the victory on a foggy day at the San Siro.

Obviously, the atmosphere at a derby held in such high esteem such as that of 'Derby della Madonnina' is meant to blow you off your feet. Unfortunately, besides Diego Milito's wonder strike for Inter in the 54th minute (there's no denying him, really) the game last night was .

Pato's passion no longer on the pitch.

Atop the tallest spire of Milan's cathedral sits a statue of the virgin Mary, her gaze fixed upon a Po valley split between the supporters of two giants in Italian football: A.C. Milan and Inter Milan. When these teams meet twice a year at the San Siro, the winning players symbolically join la Madonnina at the city's highest point.

Tra poco più di un'ora San Siro sar teatro di Milan-Inter, derby della Madonnina numero 131 (questo il totale delle stracittadine milanesi in Serie A), con i rossoneri vittoriosi per ben 47 volte nei precedenti incroci, rispetto alle 43 affermazioni dei nerazzurri 840 le gare che sono terminate in parit ).

League leaders AC Milan host their cross city rivals Inter Milan in the 204th meeting between them at the San Siro. Though Milan leads with the most number of wins in all meetings, there really is nothing to separate both sides.

Milan have won 72 of all the 204 meetings just one more than Inter with the pair each having scored an 279 goals in all meetings.

It's Milan Derby weekend and if you're all like "Snoozefest time!"... STEP ASIDE, per favore! It's not about the derby but rather the culture surrounding it. All the Uncle Giovannis who are preparing their premium Neapolitan pasta sauces at this very moment will only serve it at 8pm tomorrow because that's how the Italianos roll!

With La Liga having resumed, Jose Mourinho finds himself in a familiar situation. After all, in some ways, he has been here before; back against the wall, protecting a lead, against the same opposition as well, but in a much different context.

Mirror: Why the heat is on FIFA to make the 2022 World Cup in Qatar a success

It's Friday evening in the western suburbs of Doha in Qatar and the car park outside the giant Villaggio shopping mall is jammed with 4 x 4s trying to find a space. A kid is showing off by letting a python writhe around on his shoulders outside the mall entrance which is a giant mock-up of the San Siro in Milan, all red-painted steel and criss-cross girders.

The recent resurgence of Inter in the Serie A and Milan's status as defending champions are nicely setting up what should be an intense and fiercely fought Milan derby on Monday. Of course, fireworks are always expected whenever these two sides meet at the San Siro. But, with the Nerazzurri desperate to continue their climb [.

Serie A returned this weekend after the Christmas break and some of the teams started the year with a bang and none more so than Inter Milan who demolished Parma at the San Siro 5-0. Lazio were still on their Christmas holidays as they were humbled away at Siena 4-0. Udinese's brilliant form continued as they beat Cesena 4-1 which included a wonderful strike by Dusan Basta.

Inter Milan moved up to fifth place in Serie A and within 3 points of a UEFA Champions League place after a superb 5-0 win over Parma at the San Siro with Diego Milito in particular standing out. The Argentine scored twice with further goals by Thiago Motta, Giampaolo Pazzini and Marco Faraoni sealing a [.

Italian league action resumed yesterday after a short break with a couple of interesting results. Inter Milan began the year with a resounding 5-0 hammering of Parma at the San Siro while high flyers Lazio were thrashed 4-0 by Siena.

In what he termed as his best display ever with the club, a visibly happy Claudio Ranieri praised his side for their 5 star performance.
