Winning Group for Azzurri probably wont matter since this doesnt directly influence their draw at the Euro. So what matters only is qualifying, and Scotland winning in France, has unambiguous effect on the Italians that it is very bad. But full credit to the Scots, there are making this Group...

Sorry Fred, I cant quite agree with your statement that Gila is one season wonder. Here is Gila's statistic last couple of years 2006-07 Milan ITA A 30 12 2005-06 Milan ITA A 34 17 2004-05 Parma ITA A 38 23 2003-04 Parma ITA A 34 23 2002-03 Parma ITA A 24 4 Now compare that...

Firstly congratulations to Scotland. Judging by posters like Juve-red, Bozi, Angela, et al, they have fanbase second to none, and qualification is something they more than deserve. Seriously, who expect Scotland to do this well in a group of Azzurri, France, Ukraine. I would like to petition...

Looking at the wage bill, Roma is going to make some big decisions come next year. I just cant see them sustaining their current wage structure. Seriously, do they believe De Rossi is going to take an offer which pays the same amount with Boumsong? I doubt it. I would be fuming if I was De Rossi...

Man you guys are so slow.:D You also missed this one peach of goal. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fLQtKh6jlQQ I would be sick if I was opposition. You come back from two goals down against a superior opposition, and in extra time, Rosina comes up with this. I have seen Rosina play...

Haha, of course, I dont feel sorry for the Ronaldo personally. The guy probably earns more in a year that I will do in my lifetime. So heck, I couldnt care less of what Ronaldo becomes tomorrow.:D But as a fan of this game, like Del Piero, I think God has robbed us some most magical moments...

Ronaldo when he was on firm for Inter in 97-98 was quite easily the most talented player I have ever seen. Yes, I have seen Maradona, but in fairness he was reaching end of his peak, and yes, I have seen Baggio in his awesome Juve days, Zizou etc, but my goodness, when Ronaldo had balls on his...

:lol: I pity for your soul.:D

As much as I hate to say this current Azzurri team is inferior to France IMO. French has far more invention and penetration in their team. @ Denco I agree that those who come up with fixturess should be shot dead. Italia vs France with victory either way paving a gap for Scotland to...

At this stage, I honestly couldnt care which team qualify out of France, Italia and Scotland. I think any of the three team has equally deserving case, and may the best on the day, qualify. As for Ale, I think the criticism aimed at him was poor. Yes, Ale got muscled off too easily in the...

Quick intakes from Italia vs Frane match. It was always going to be cagey affair with both teams having too much to loose by loosing the match, and the game eventually ended predictable 0-0 draw. But worrying for Azzurri, I cant but admit France looks likely superior squad at this stage...

Interesting list. Out of the lot I think Marcelo, Robinho, Cannavaro, Rafael Marquez Sissoko, Mascherano Ballack Sheva Deco can help immediately, especially Deco and Canna. However, I personally don't think our current situation would help us bring players of highest quality...

Good article Dule, I enjoyed reading it. Nore money doesnt necessarily equate to more quality. Well, in EPL's case, I reckon their money is going to strangle every single young kid, looking for an opportunity to play at highest competition. As I have said before numerous times, what is the...

I couldnt agree more. I think Iaquinta will be useful player for the team. Well, I wouldnt have paid such a large sum for him, as I feel paying extra premium would have gotten us far better player, but then Iaquinta was quite obvious, and easy summer transfer target, so for a young rookie GM...

Fred, Iaquinta has never been prolific scorer. I watched Iaquinta way back in 2000. I am actually surprised he made it this far, because I thought his career was destined for Serie B or bottom feeder of Serie A at best. Anyway, here is Iaquinta's scoring record last five years 2006-07 Udinese...

:smoke: :D Lippi litting up his cigars is by the far my most favorite moment in soccer. Personally, I can see Lippi taking over Napoli by next year latest. Reja will surely be sacked within 12 months, unless miracle happens and Reja takes them into UEFA or Champions League, which wont...

Ballack is as good as they come. I think he is a fantastic player. He is no Pirlo, but I think he has underrated feel for the game, and Pirlo IMO distant best registra in the game. I could watch Ballack make those run into the box anyday of the week. He just walks around for the most of the...

I am sorry to say to Juve fan, but as a fan, I want to see France and Italia go through. Those two teams are too big IMO to not participate in the big stae. But congratulations to Scotland. If they do go through, I think they really really really earnt it. They are in quite easily the toughest...

Well at this point, I am inclined to say Nasri better than Rosina. However, I also think we shouldnt regard age as an indication of player's potential. I have watched this game long enough to realize that teenage prodigy could either suffer (1) horrific injuries, (2) burn outs and (3) loss of...

Looking from highlights that is what I exactly thought. He looks a bit like Tevez; similar stocky build. On the other hand, he looks far far far better than the original version. He seems to be excellent on both feet, and for more quicker than Tevez. Anyway, I am dying to see this kid on live.
