…i risultati conseguiti sul campo… un campo verde come questo… solcato da linee bianche che definiscono il nostro destino. Linee che non mentono. Perche il campo dice sempre la verità. Un prato come questo che ha consacrato 29 volte Campione di Italia….

Creativity Punished

20.07.2011

Theyab Awana’s team, the United Arab Emirates, were leading Lebanon 5-2 in an away friendly when they were awarded a penalty and a chance to score the sixth goal from the eleven meter spot. It was the 78th minute and the scoreline was already a witness to the huge gap between the two teams and [...]

Un Mangia Mangia Generale (Calciopoli Revisited)

16.11.2010

San Moratti has been relatively silent over the last few days. Probably mulling his next moves on how to make Juventus spend another couple of years in Serie B since his team seem to be returning to the normal place in the championship – the one they are used to: beneath Juventus. Meanwhile Uncle Fester [...]

Moggi Gets Rooney Right

22.10.2010

This morning I read my usual fare of morning news while following the roundup of Juve’s miserable performance in the Europa league last night. The last article I read before packing off for work was Moggi’s weekly contribution to tuttomercatoweb in which he once again attacked Saint Moratti and pointed out the Intercettato Magnate’s incongruities. [...]

Pronto? Giacinto?

08.10.2010

Calciopoli 2 continues at a surprisingly slower pace.  It took Calciopoli  I 86 days to condemn Juventus to Serie B. Funnily enough with much more proof at its disposal Calciopoli II is dragging its feet. But here is an extract from the phone call between Bergamo and Facchetti for the sublime delectation of football fans [...]

Intercettati FC – Trema, intercettato, trema

23.09.2010

An article from today’s webnews and opinion. The recent developments in the Napoli trials continue to confirm J’accuse’s line since 2006. Juventus was no more guilty than any other of the “rubacchioni” in the Serie A over the last twenty years. Juventus paid for a conflation of a “malcostume” because it was convenient for others [...]

Rueing Ribas da Cunha

29.08.2010

Image via Wikipedia I’m back and normal blogging service will resume shortly. In the meantime we take the first punch of the football season. The real test is not some lost pitch in Ireland or against Sturm Graz but against strong Serie A third tier teams like Bari (10th last season). A machinated Juventus deservedly [...]

The Penalty (a suggestion)

11.07.2010

The rules of Association Football are over a hundred years old but rarely need a revamp. Of course recent improvements in technology have meant an increase in calls for fairer methods to ensure that the original rules are applied more thoroughly. Some may beg to differ since the original rules envisaged a fallible human as [...]

Simply über alles

04.07.2010

Were they not absolutely fantastic? When they trounced the hapless English team by four goals to one (almost to two) many were those who would have easily subscribed to the “even my vindaloo eating granny could do that” philosophy. In short we were prepared to concede that the merit of the four goal drubbing of [...]

Out and About

02.07.2010

So the Selecao is out. It was a fifty fifty match but in the end the team with a stronger and deeper reserve of personality won. You would not believe that the Felipe Melo own goal brought the result to a draw. You could see it in the eyes of Snejder, Robben & Co. they [...]
