Posted on 16 Jun, 2013, by Peter in SoccerMario Balotelli finished the job Andre Pirlo started, as Italy got a deserved 2-1 win in their opening confederations cup match over Mexico, who didn’t have much to showcase except for some creative plays from Giovanni Dos Santos and Andres Guardado. More
Juventus FC – Thinking Small With Nicolas Anelka
Posted on 27 Jan, 2013, by Peter in SoccerHow exactly is Nicolas Anelka a better player than Fabio Quagliarella or any other striker Juventus have on their squad? Anything might be better than Nicklas Bendtner, but it doesn’t mean that the veteran Frenchman is the answer to Juve losing their huge lead on top of the serie A, and his signing seems like a panic move without any real future to it.

Juventus FC – Too Good for the Rest of the Serie A
Posted on 30 Sep, 2012, by Peter in SoccerIt took only 19 minutes for Juventus to put away one of their alleged biggest rival to the title this season in Italy, eventually beating Roma 4-1 in another fantastic display at home, helping everyone (except a few folk at Napoli) reach the same conclusion – Juve are just too much for the Serie A this season.

Juventus FC – Undefeated Streak (42 Matches) Can’t be Stopped
Posted on 17 Sep, 2012, by Peter in SoccerThe Italian champions aren’t the only team to begin the season in Italy with 3 wins. Napoli, Lazio, Sampdoria. But after beating Genoa 3-1, Juventus have now gone 42 matches without losing, a streak stretching back to the 2010-2011 season. All this without Antonio Conte, which might indicate how important (or not) it is to have him standing on the sidelines each match. More

Posted on 4 Jul, 2012, by Peter in SoccerPlaying in the Euro with your national team can change perspective and future wishes. Mario Balotelli wasn’t 100% settled at Manchester City as it was when the season was over, so there’s no wonder Andrea Pirlo, using media manipulation, is trying to convince his national team partner to join in Turin and play for the Serie A champions, Juventus.

Posted on 4 Jul, 2012, by Peter in SoccerOnly one player, Italy’s Mario Balotelli, scored two goals good enough to enter the top 10 of Euro 2012, but he’ll probably have to settle for runner-up or worse in this chart as well, with fantastic goals from Andrea Pirlo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, among others, being just as or even more impressive and memorable.

Posted on 3 Jul, 2012, by Peter in SoccerGreat tournaments bring with them ample opportunity for disappointment and tears, especially during the knockout stage when the losses are much more painful and tragic.

Euro 2012 – Spain for History, Italy for Surprise
Posted on 30 Jun, 2012, by Peter in SoccerAlthough saying that Italy will win Euro 2012 as we head into the Final on Sunday wouldn’t be such a risky statement to make, saying they would win it before the tournament started sounded insane. For Spain, it’s been down this road, to this moment, for about five years, looking to make history. More
