    CONCACAF Gold Cup 2005

    This tournament is so well renowned, and deservedly so, that it's at the semi-finals and I've yet to see it mentioned anywhere on Juventuz. So here's a token thread on it, as I've been following this rather farcical international cup tournament thus far. So who's in it? CONCACAF teams of...

    Serie A '04-'05 Guerin d'Oro

And in the June 7-13 issue, they have a nice season review of Serie A -- including a brief review of Juve's...

    What's the story on Masiello?

    From: http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/apr17h.html So what's the story on Masiello? I did a little research in some of the more recent issues of Calcio 2000 (God, I love that magazine). In addition to seeing Juve's primavera squad winning the 57th Torneo di Viareggio, 2-0...

    Milan, Juve, and media bias?

    Milanistas can humor my perceptions here... Now sports journalists always take liberties with language, trying to sound more dramatic than the situation ever warrants. (Hey -- it's hard to make those 0-0 draws between Chievo and Bologna sound exciting all the time.) And it's pretty easy for a...

    Porto vs. Once Caldas on Sunday Porto just squeaked by the CL group stages. They've had a slow start to their domestic league season, but they've come on late and are back in the top tier -- tied with Trap's Benfica for the league lead. As for Once Caldas - they qualified for this match...

    In honor of Erik, I hope I don't step on toes here starting this obvious next thread. (Let me do it justice.) Portugal: My sentimental favorite to win it all. The host's advantage. The so-called Golden Generation, and yet it's largely been its youth -- particularly in the image of its FC...

    Where to find great coffee in Turin?

    Just about as much as I am a fan of Juve, I'm a fanatic for great Italian espresso. I'll be in Turin in May for the first time (to catch a couple of games, of course!), and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations of where to find great coffee. Conventional wisdom being that Turin is one...
