Conte leaves juventus
July 15, 2014
Considering his highly irritating, (and to me and many others) disrespectful behaviour at the end of last season, this episode can come as no major surprise. Nonetheless the timing is appalling and the best thing we can take from the present scene of carnage is that no longer will the club, its players and its […]
Thoughts on the Morata Transfer
July 10, 2014
It sounds more horrid by the day. It is worthy of reasonable unease to accept that we are embracing a feeder club role to an elite club with whom historically we have enjoyed mutual respect and comparable prestige on the continental stage. Yet even harder to stomach the suggestion that the player is already set […]
Juventus sign PSG wonderkid Kinsgley Coman
June 21, 2014
In what must be regarded as a magnificent coup, Juventus have snapped up PSG youngster Kinsgley Coman on a free transfer from french giants PSG. The 18 year old attacking midfielder made his debut for PSG early last year as a 16 year old and recently made his debut for the French U21 team scoring […]
Juve to sign Victor Da Silva
June 17, 2014
It appears that Juve are close to signing star of Chievo’s marvellous run to the primavera title, the Brazilian attacking midfielder, Victor Da Silva…20 goals from 26 games (one of which was with the senior side) is a brilliant return. At 19 years of age, it is time for him to move up to […]
Italy 2 – 1 England World Cup 2014
June 15, 2014
When I hear people talking of the best leagues in Europe I often find myself failing to understand why when it comes to the premiership, nobody seems to have any interest in the English national team. Of the so called ‘strongest leagues’ the German and Spanish top tiers provide their national outfits with a steady […]
Italy v England Preview ( world cup 2014)
June 14, 2014
And so it begins. Another World Cup, which I head into as a supporter of gli azzurri with zero confidence and a sense of despondent helplessness. Having England to thank for the vast majority of my nurture, and half of my crimson rivers born of that realm, it would make sense for me to be […]
Australia 1 – 3 Chile (World Cup 2014)
June 14, 2014
The highly regarded Chile team endured a far tougher time than expected against the well drilled and physically superior Australians. Whilst the opening half hour was dominated by the incessant offensive pressure of the South Americans which led to a two goal lead, once Postecoglou’s team got their foot in the door and grabbed a […]
Socceroos War Cry (Guest post – Johnny Collivas)
June 14, 2014
Whilst my own allegiances are split between Italy and England, due to the nature of my crimson rivers, I live in Australia, where the game is growing in popularity year on year. The socceroos have been drawn in a tough group. For the Aussies, it is wretched, yet there are tougher draws in other groups. […]
Haggard world cup predictions
June 12, 2014
With the world cup cannon set to fire its proud shot across the bow of the world as a whole in the very new future, the wait it over, and before the first ankle is crunched in rage, it seems a joyful routine to embark on predictions. Who will prosper? Who will fail miserably? […]
World Cup foul play magic moments
June 9, 2014
With the world cup almost upon us, and little to ponder other than Group previews and the larval birth pains of the transfer season, I feel the time is ripe for a look at the less glorious facets of the global game; the gouges, pokes, dives, elbows and headbutts…some of which will be focused on the […]
