    Official: Cannavaro(O surdato 'nnammurato) wins Golden Ball

    Jun-hide you put into perfect words exactly what I think. I adore Canna but he and Gigi playing together with Juve and the Azzurri were something rare and special on defense. They had an amazing communication between them, each knowing what the other would do. It saddened me terribly when...

    Official: Cannavaro(O surdato 'nnammurato) wins Golden Ball

    If this is true I'm very happy. Canna had an outstanding world cup and showed true leadership to his team, despite all the controversy swirling around the Azzurri. He played every game and was never carded, was steady as a rock and he made some amazing plays. He was also on the scudetto...

    Croatian NT Thread

    Congratulations to Croatia for the win! I didn't see the game but it sounds like Croatia has a new exciting team. So now they are leading their division! Good for them. I think we will be hearing a lot about some of these players in the future. Hopefully I will catch a game on TV one of...

    Serie B: Juventus vs Pescara [11/11/2006]

    Mark I see a Serie B game on the RAI International schedule at 10 am. This usually has been the Juve home game. And yes there is another one at midnight. I prefer the live match but I'll take either one.:agree:

    Diego Maradona Recalls His Memories of Juve

    Daria...thank you for your thoughts and comments about Maradona. I enjoyed reading them. How amazing that you got to watch him play live and that you also met him. Quite a memory to have.

    Il Capitano Alessandro Del Piero

    Abu...I think Canna is an excellent judge of people! Ale and Canna are good friends and they are in touch frequently as Canna said on his website. They SMS each other all the time and Canna keeps up with the Juve news. I'm sure he's quite happy that his friend scored his 200th goal today!

    Want to send a message to Pavel?

    Grazie Isha for letting us know about this. And mille grazie Mark for the English translation. Neddy is a great guy. I hope when he retires he stays in the Juve organization. We need good people like him.

    Must win: Italy vs. Ukraine, @ Georgia

    Of course you are entitled to your opinion but I don't agree with you at all. Canna is not crap and it's not just his play that makes him important to the Azzurri it's his heart, leadership, cool head and the respect he commands from others. So who would you play in his place?? And in place...

    Must win: Italy vs. Ukraine, @ Georgia

    I take offense at that because Canna is my favorite Azzurri but in any case, I would never wish an injury on any player, even an opponent. I know that lots of Juve fans are angry with him for leaving Juve for Real but although I was terribly disappointed and hurt by this I understand his...

    Croatian NT Thread

    To Vlatko and Mark...congratulations on Croatia's win today :pint: :toast: I like the Croatian team...especially Kranjcar and the Kovac brothers. I watched Modric play vs. Italy in the friendly and he was impressive. Looks to have a promising future. I followed Croatia during the WC and...

    Must win: Italy vs. Ukraine, @ Georgia

    Of course I know that Canna is irreplaceable and very valuable to the Azzurri. He's my favorite player. I was just worried that he may have been injured or something...

    Must win: Italy vs. Ukraine, @ Georgia

    Why did Canna come off? Was it just to rest him?

    Must win: Italy vs. Ukraine, @ Georgia

    I was surprised to see the starting list (On RAI) and they also gave the substitutions and was shocked not to see DP on either list. Unfortunately, I only had time to slip in a tape and head to work. Thanks for the score updates. Good for Camo. I'm happy the Azzurri are winning. I adore...

    Continue with Stadio Torino?

    Filadelfia is how the Italians spell Philadelphia (which is in America). In this case they refer to an old stadium. Article says that both Juve and Torino teams think that the Communale stadium is too small for teams in Serie A and perhaps both Juve and Torino can work together to re-do...

    Il Capitano Alessandro Del Piero

    Grazie mille, Elisa for the translation of the video. It was wonderful to read. Wish I could have been there to see it in person. Ale is a very special guy.

    Juve Fever ??

    What a great thread this has turned out to be. Some additional thoughts... Last night watching Domenica Sportiva you could see a stressed out AC Milan...discussion as to why they are not scoring. And then Inter...in total turmoil and Mancini trying to explain away their problems. And...

    'Tragic' WC 2006 Win

    This guy is an idiot and a disgrace to soccer. They should throw him out for those comments and I also think it was disgusting that he did not present the World Cup to the Azzurri. He should be ashamed of himself...what a small small man. Why is it that the organizational side of soccer is...

    TV rights for Serie B

    If that's true about RAI not showing Juve then I'm really disappointed since they did say they would show an additional 9 away games and they have rights for Piacenza. The schedule I'm looking at for RAI International still does not have any game listed for Serie B on Saturday morning. They...

    Pavel Nedved

    Great interview! You know he talks about Alex and Gigi's decision to stay and how they sent a signal to the others....but he downplays his own decision to stay and the impact it had on the team. He even left his NT to focus on playing with Juve. I think he's a real class act and an...

    TV rights for Serie B

    That's great news Mark. This must be one of the away games RAI said they would broadcast. I'm feeling good that we will see this game on Saturday. This is becoming a new tradition with my family... Saturday morning breakfast while watching Juve win their games!!
