http://www.serieamerica.com/blog For North American fans of the Italian game Sun, 03 Aug 2008 10:23:10 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Alright. As it turns out, I'll be posting over at The Offside's Udinese Blog this season. Come on over! http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/08/03/sono-qui/ Dear Ray, Once again, gli Azzurri must (unfortunately) face your Bleus in an important match. That said, I believe it's prudent at this time to issue you a pre-emptive SHUT THE F*CK UP, before you even think about running your mouth. Mmkay? Thanks. http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/06/14/mi-scusi-ma-signor-domenech/ I know, I know. I'm supposed to be too busy to post... (and trust me - I definitely am), but this is just too damn good to let go. Yeaaaaaahhhhhh... you know what I'm talking about, Inter. Thank you, Napoli! http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/03/03/grazie-napoli/ (Not Vacation!) I'll cut right to the chase here: I'm not on vacation. The truth is, grad school is kicking my arse all over the place this semester, which is why I haven't posted in *gasp!* eight days. To everyone checking in regularly since my last post, I ... http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/02/20/non-vacanze/ (Quotes) Some of the quotes that have been in the news this week have been just too interesting to not post, so here goes: Antonio Cassano I didn’t really want to move to Genoa [Sampdoria] because I had been told that it was a dead city. Instead however I discovered that the ... http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/02/12/quotazioni/ (Down and Up) Aaaaaand we're back. Since my last post, it looks like quite a bit has happened - at both ends of the spectrum. First, there was the low point of Roma slipping back a bit (ow!), and now we've reached the high point of a convincing Azzurri win ... http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/02/07/giu-e-su/ (We're closed!) Alright. I'm going away for a few days. It's not a vacation... well... not totally. It's one of those half pleasure, half business deals... and no, it has nothing to do with the Super Bowl... that's for damn sure. In any event, I'm going to be out until ... http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/01/30/siamo-chiusi/ Udinese 0 -0 The Great Zaltan and his Argentine Minions Hey - it might not be a Nerazzurri loss, but the rest of Serie A will take it, as Roma now close the gap by two points, leaving only five between the Giallorossi and ArgentInter. So thanks, Udinese! Looking at ArgentInter's form ... http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/01/27/grazie-udinese/ (Juve and Lazio Grow) By now hopefully everyone has heard that Manchester City is loaning striker Rolando Bianchi to Lazio.  Don't worry though - I'm not writing about it to inform you of the move.  Instead, I'd like to point out that this is the first step forward Lazio have taken ... http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/01/25/juve-e-lazio-crescere/ (Totti: "Inter will only be second.") It's a good thing I'm a Roma fan, otherwise I'd call Il Capitano overconfident for making a claim like this.  Since I am a Roma fan, however, I'll call him ballsy and quietly hope that Inter don't use his words as motivation.  Here's my best ... http://www.serieamerica.com/blog/2008/01/22/totti-linter-sara-solo-seconda/
