    Juventus FC – Fernando Llorente Needs to Start Playing

    With Juventus playing in a two striker formation or something that’s very similar to it, it’s hard to understand why Fernando Llorente has seen only one minute of football so far this season, making way for small, quicker forwards, even though it might be better to try and combine the Spaniard with a different player in order to get the best out of both worlds.

    Juventus FC – Thinking Small With Nicolas Anelka

    How exactly is Nicolas Anelka a better player than Fabio Quagliarella or any other striker Juventus have on their squad?

  • 2010 World Cup Diary – Day 14

    Awesome goals day, asItaly made like France and got knocked out of the World Cup by Slovakia (deserving) who joined Slovakia from Group F, facing the Netherlands who finished a perfect group stage by beating pointless Cameroon while Japan turned on the style, led by Honda, against Denmark, in their 3-2 win. All the goals and best pictures, as always.
