And if you ask fans in Italy, you will find there is a belief (which may or may not be justified) that Juve have, more often than not, been the beneficiaries in these controversial games for as long as anyone can remember, which is where the problem comes from. Coming at this from the point of...

Indeed. De Rossi got it right at the time: http://www.football-italia.net/53417/de-rossi-tavecchio-must-resign - - - Updated - - - http://www.calciomercato.com/news/ultim-ora-la-uefa-inibisce-tavecchio-per-6-mesi-per-le-sue-frasi-265560

If Conte had any issue with it, and I don't know if he did, it will be because Bonucci continued the dispute after joining up with Italy. You need the players to leave club stuff behind or they are just going to end up squabbling through international meet-ups.

It's about time someone on the Roma side started to try and defuse things.

I'm not falling asleep watching them, but I am finding there are fewer and fewer interesting teams/matches. That goes for football at large - not just Serie A.

:boh: I'm not here for that sort of technical nonsense. I just ban people.

Maturing and learning to play the percentages more, as all good players do. Will inevitably take him a while to discover exactly what the right balance is.

Dunno. I think he's holding the ball too long quite a lot of the time. He gets in a position where you expect him to shoot, but he takes an extra touch and an extra touch and gets closed down. Maybe Allegri has told him to shoot less, but it's just looking like indecision a lot of the time...

The world No.1 failing on the most famous hole on the most famous course in the world... I'd go down and watch the Dunhill Links thing, but they let celebrities play and I've no interest spending half my day ducking and diving to avoid their shots rather than just watching the pros.

Giovinco would be worse because he'd do nothing and not even act as the focal point to draw defence as Llorente tends to do even when playing poorly. I'm interested to see how Morata does starting a game against a packed defence. So far he has been coming on in situations where it was...

Meh. It's just the big story until the next story. Maybe Conte will do Juve a favour and have Italy suffer an embarrassing loss to distract everyone in the media...

You need to acknowledge how much more Llorente has achieved in his pre-Juve career than Amauri and Krasic and therefore give the appropriate benefit of the doubt in terms of simply putting the current run down to poor form rather than anything more significant. That was Llorente's seventh game...

The gift of a player like Llorente is that his physique allows him to do as he pleases in many cases, even when he is being marked. He doesn't have to out-think or trick his way past a marker - he can just plain bully him. That means he is very dangerous if marked one-on-one. Or, if a team...

http://www.snappytv.com/snaps/mcilroy-on-17-about-alfred-dunhill-links-2014-sun-am-pm-on-european-tour-sunday_nz I love seeing links golf making the world best players look stupid.

If things keep going as they are, it's very likely Juve will be forced into playing a back four before very long. Waiting for an update of Caceres, but it's easy to imagine Juve having to play for the best part of a month with only three centre-halves available. One of them is very likely to...

Certainly in private, but I'm not sure he should be saying anything very much in public. Sometimes better to keep quiet rather than entering into an argument/slagging match. I think he's better letting this all die down as quickly as possible rather than rising to the bait.

:agree: Given how many soft forwards there are in the world, when you get one that might have a good level of toughness and aggression, you don't want to take that away from him. Forwards take plenty of abuse from defenders. You want them to be able and willing to fight back and look after...

I actually thought Gazzetta was being relatively reasonable.

That was far too hard a chance to consider missing it to be 'terrible finishing'.

If he was just sent off for the tackle, he won't get more than a two-match ban.
