Calcio, Lega Pro: Isola Liri decimata dall'influenza A ma costretta a giocare. Mancano le norme

CitySport...un Mondo nuovo... 21 November @ 06:18 AM EST
Inconcepibile. L'Isola Liri (nella foto), club laziale di Serie C2 (da qualche anno Seconda Divisione Lega Pro) viene colpita, in massa, dal virus H1N1 dell'influenza A (11 casi accertati e due casi sospetti), ma è costretta ugualmente scendere in campo nel match di campionato che si svolgerà in quel di Vico Equense.

Pro Vercelli: The End, Or Is It

The Run of Play - Soccer in Style 30 October @ 01:43 PM EST

A new version of Football Manager is released today, which makes this, in my house at least, a time of hushed reflection. The old era is passing away, the new era is rising up before us. Everything we knew and loved is sliding into the sea, while before us, like a mountainous country, is thrust a terrifying and exhilarating possibility.

Pro Vercelli: When You're the Clouds, the Sky Looks Cloudless

The Run of Play - Soccer in Style 17 May @ 04:02 PM EST

Like the hard fist of Beowulf smashing repeatedly into the sternum of a cringing, slobbering Grendel...actually, hold that thought. Fifteen games into a do-or-die season with Pro Vercelli, it's time to confront an icy truth. Since I came to the club, we've done well. We've earned multiple promotions, done a cameo in the Champions League, and established ourselves as the fifth-richest club in Italy.

And the first manager sacked is…

The Offside: Italy 04 September @ 08:49 AM EST

Who had their bets on Stefano Colantuono? The Roman manager has been sacked only after one game by Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini. Colantuono was sacked this season and replaced by Francesco Guidolin and then was brought back when Guidolin was let go and then confirmed as manager for the coming season.

Job Cuts in the Calcio Dungeons

The Offside 04 August @ 07:00 PM EST
To combat the number of clubs finding financial instability and even going belly up, Lega Pro, the new name for Serie C1 & C2 in Italian calcio conjured up to confuse people, have decided to put a cap on the number of players each team can employ (actual number still unclear), effectively "cutting jobs" for [.
