    Surprise secret to soccer appeal

    Leave it to egghead scientists to justify their interest in a given sport through research and data.

    Q&A with Patrick Vieira

    FYI, for those interested... Calcio 2000 often asks random questions of football greats from time to time -- sometimes asking completely off-the-wall questions (such as, "Sea or Mountains?"). This month they featured a Q&A session with Vieira. Below with my translations (thanks for any...

    Random thoughts about Juventuz and the future of Ultra groups

    Pardon some of my stream-of-consciousness thinking here. It's a bit long, so apologies in advance. But I've had these thoughts in my head for a little while. And I am now at the point of thinking it might be good discussion fodder. It concerns the changing nature of stadium attendance at...

    Burritos and gasoline

    So a couple of weeks ago I was at the Web 2.0 conference. One of the more interesting sessions was a panel they had of Bay Area teenagers talking about what they do every day, which is just magical information to a lot of 30- and 40-something marketing weenies who think Michael J Fox and Huey...

    Favorite Italian music?

    While long a fan of a good Puccini opera, a Mina showtune cover, a Paolo Conte shuffle, an obscure Silvana Mangano musical number, or even a Dean Martin crooner tune, there are a few rock contemporaries from La Peni&#115;ola I've gotten into of late: Zucchero - He's been around for ages, and...

    The latest issue of Calcio Italia (you've used the Channel 4 Web site, right?!) is their annual season preview, which is always a good issue. Rosters, statistics, and predictions. One of the more amusing things they introduced this year was a small section on each team that says "if [insert...

    BBC Match of the Day Football Yearbook 2005/6 - Serie A

    So I picked up the latest BBC Football Yearbook from Amazon UK. If you're not familiar with it, it's heavy on player statistics and ratigs that often don't make much sense. But when is that not the case? Endorsed by John Motson ("Motty", or sometimes called "the voice" of football.) They...
