U20 World Cup: Italy flying high.
It was a good day for the young generation of Italian players at FIFA’s U20 World Cup. The Azzurri beat Spain 3:1 and sent the opponents home. La Furia had 10 men on the pitch and could not hold Italy’s strength. With Italy desperately needing renovation in its current squad this is surely looking good. [...]
Highlights: Brazil 3 – 0 Italy
Watch the highlights of the Brazilian massacre in the Confederations Cup.
Brazil 3-0 Italy: No Respect for Seniors
Definitely for Italians, June 21st is not a good day to take on Brazil. On this date, the Gods of football wear yellow jersey. 39 years after the 4-1 massacre in the final of the World Cup, Brazil humiliated Italy one more time. Since 1982, Italy does not beat Brazil.
The first-half was a lesson [...]

And the FIFA Rankings change again.
It was about time. After some World Cup Qualifying matches and a little something that went on for a month called EURO 2008, the Fifa Rankings have changed. A lot. Spain, of course hits spot #1. Italy comes in second (???) and Germany in third (shouldn’t they be in second?). Brazil has fallen to the [...]
Casillas sends Italy home.
It was a dramatic match. Spain took victory home after 0 – 0 on regular and overtime and after a 4 – 2 win in penalty shootouts. This is the first time Spain reaches this far since 1984 and they were the only top of the group to move on to the semis. They will [...]
EURO Beauty: the entire Italian squad.
I really could not miss the chance… a little old, I confess, but still hot at EURO 2008.
EURO 2008 Results – June 17th. Bye bye Romania and France.
Another bye-bye-time-to-go-home day at EURO 2008. Only the Netherlands was 100% qualified to the quarter finals. Romania needed at least a tie or victory to get into the next phase. Italy and France, repeating 2006 World Cup’s final, needed a victory and Romania to lose in order to qualify. And to make me a little [...]
Netherlands kicking Italy’s old behind.
What a nice match! When lots of people expected an equally competitive match, what was shown today in Berne was a dominant Netherlands over a weak Italy. Van Basten’s squad was fast, skillfull and effective. Donadoni’s was slow, with a lot of bad passes and poor play choices. From Van der Sar to Nilstelrooy, the [...]
