29/3/2008 Italian Serie A - Lazio vs Inter Milan

With the title run in becoming more exciting, can Roberto Mancini get his players to keep their nerves for this live online broadcast commentary Italian Serie A match between Lazio and Inter Milan and at the same time ignore confirmed reports that he will indeed be sacked at the end of the season and with the Special One Jose Mourinho in to replace him? There might not be too many who would blame the Italian if he chose to lose motivation and not win the title at the end, but Mancini is a proud professional and would certainly want to sign off his farewells with a title win, considering how he has managed to bring Inter Milan back from years of obscurity, albeit with a little dose of luck since Juventus and AC Milan were consigned to the scandal dustbin in recent seasons and are still rebuilding. But with the funds available at Mourinho's disposal, he will not find it too difficult to repeat Mancini's feat, and perhaps the only thing left for Mourinho to prove would be that his Champions League win with Porto was no fluke.

Lazio will be determined to beat the champions in this live online broadcast commentary and live TV Italian Serie A match between Lazio and Inter Milan in order to make the whole season even more exciting, not to mention to revive their European hopes with a late rush up the table. The odds are heavily stacked against the home side with Inter Milan only suffering two defeats this season although those have come in the past month which have coincidentally jeopardised their title hopes. Inter will not be underestimating their opponents as Lazio have shown themselves capable of beating the top teams as they did to derby rivals Roma a few weeks back which momentarily gave Inter the upper hand but ironically it might now be Inter's turn to suffer a reverse of fortune and allow Roma back dangerously into the challenge after this live online broadcast commentary and live TV soccer match between Lazio and Inter Milan. With Ibrahamovic rumoured to miss this game due to injury, and with not many strikers on form left in the team, Mancini will have his work cut out for him, and for one day only, Roma fans might actually cheer on the Lazio players.

15/3/2008 Italian Serie A - AS Roma vs AC Milan

Could this live online commentary Italian Serie A match between AS Roma and AC Milan be a sign of a changing of the guard with Milan a fading force both in Europe and Italy while Roma continues to go from strength to strength each season and will now start this game with the knowledge that they will face Manchester United in the Champions League for a place in the semi finals. The Rossoneri have only one thing to play for left this season and that is to grab at least the fourth Champions League qualification spot in the Italian Serie A and they have Fiorentina and Juventus to fight against. Roma have much more to play for as they are still in with a chance for the Treble. Darren Fletcher of Manchester United insinuated that Roma have only got the Champions League to play for and that was quite an insult to the Giallorossi's position in both the league and the Coppa Italia. Francesco Totti and his team will want to prove him wrong and go as far as they can, and they are actually in with more than a shout for the Italian Serie A given Inter Milan's recent jitters.

AC Milan have not enjoyed the best of records against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico and they will want to change that starting with this live online commentary and streaming radio broadcast match against Roma. Their captain Maldini also paid Roma the best of compliments by claiming that they play the best soccer in Italy at the moment and have achieved great results like beating Real Madrid. AC Milan themselves have lifted themselves since getting eliminated from the Champions League by starting their campaign for fourth place in the league by beating Empoli away last week which saw them close the gap on Fiorentina and are now literally breathing down their necks. With Gattuso back from suspension, the Milan midfield will be even stronger for this live online commentary and streaming radio telecast Italian Serie A match between Roma and AC Milan. Pato and Kaka should still remain as the striking pair upfront and despite missing Ronaldo and Inzaghi, Milan still packs a lot of firepower for this game.

It would be the most logical to believe that this live online commentary match between AS Roma and AC Milan will end in a draw with both teams determined not to lose. If this were to happen, Roma will find themselves losing ground on the title race and that is something they are trying to avoid. There are still 10 games left for AC Milan to claim the fourth and last Champions League spot and while dropping points in this game might not be the end of the chase, it would certainly damage their hopes.

Italian Serie A 16/2/2008 - Juventus vs Roma

This top of the table live commentary and play by play soccer match clash will see Juventus trying to close the gap between themselves and Roma by securing a win and boost their own chances of an automatic Champions League slot by finishing the Italian Serie A season in second place. It would also be a great achievement by a Juventus team that bounced back immediately from their relegation to Italian Serie B almost a year and a half ago due to match fixing. Claudio Ranieri has done well with the resources given to him since taking over from Deschamps as manager and has molded a team that mixes grit and determination well with flair and attacking football. There is actually not much talk about Ranieri's tinkerman approach that he made famous in England perhaps he has mellowed after so many years in the wilderness since leaving Chelsea.

Juventus will be trying to take the game to Roma in this live commentary and radio broadcast Italian Serie A soccer game but Roma has proved to be a strong defensive unit despite being known more favourably for their attractive slick passing game, marshalled well by their playmaker Francesco Totti. The evergreen Totti continues to prosper in the league despite having failed in his career to impress at international level. Roma are way behind Inter Milan in the chase for the Italian Serie A title but they have to concentrate on strengthening their position in second place as Juventus are nipping at their heels and this live commentary and TV telecast soccer game between the two teams will see some fascinating battles as Del Piero, Nedved and Trezeguet will look to break down Roma's defence led by Panucci. In fact, this might be a high scoring draw with Juventus holding the slight edge since they would be determined to prove they're back and roaring in the Italian Serie A.

Ronaldo's Career Is Over

Or close to it, as the Brazilian ruptured his tendon in the left knee, which is now an identical problem he suffered to his right knee almost nine years ago. Ronaldo was carried off the pitch in tears and that shows you that I am just about right in my assessment. Ronaldo knows it, I know it, and the whole world knows it as well that this striker who was once Europe and the world's most feared striker, has gone down the bin chute and will no longer play another competitive game, given his ongoing health and fitness issues.

In fact, it would do him a lot of good if Ronaldo retires now. He might not find himself able to walk come 10 years later if he tries to make another comeback. He might lose his legs the next time something serious happens on the pitch.

Italian Serie A 10/2/2008 - AC Milan vs Siena

This Italian Serie A live commentary and play by play soccer match between AC Milan and Siena will see AC Milan trying to cope with life without new teenage sensation Pato who was seriously injured last week and also Kaka who met with an injury although it was not serious but will keep him out of this game. It also comes at a time when AC Milan was just starting to experience a good run of form as they attacked their way to a string of victories, much a result of inspired transfer in Pato and also the resulting three pronged attack of Kaka, Ronaldo and Pato. However, this live commentary and TV telecast soccer match between AC Milan and Siena will see a true test for the Italian aristocrats as they struggle to make any headway in Serie A this season and seem to be suffering from a huge Champions League hangover from last season.

Filippo Inzaghi will be back from injury in place of Pato for this live commentary and radio broadcast Italian Serie A match again Siena, but he is no Pato and Ronaldo and his other team mates would need to step up by providing incisive passes and good crosses for Inzaghi to thrive on and score a few goals. It is amazing that the pint sized but deadly Inzaghi is still plying his trade at the top echelon of Italian soccer but it could be expected too since he bases his game more on tricking the offside trap and being at the right place at the right time. It is also a great testament to his professional attitude and hard work to continue performing at the highest level while his brother and other peers are no longer around.

This live commentary and TV telecast soccer game in the Italian Serie A between AC Milan and Siena should see another win for the home team, but just nearly, as Siena would provide stiff opposition and would seek to test the aging Milan backline and doubtful strikeforce. Leaving the famous stadium with a great result from upsetting the European Champions would also be an amazing result for Siena.

Italian Serie A 20/1/2008 - Juventus vs Sampdoria

This Italian Serie A game to bring you live commentary and play by play match will definitely bring back memories of back in the days when Sampdoria was one of the leading lights in the Italian league with Gianluca Vialli and Roberto Mancini and tonight they face Juventus at the Delle Api Stadium hoping to cause an upset by bringing Juventus to their knees. Unfortunately, Juventus has adapted to life back in the Italian Serie A after winning promotion from last season when they spent a year in the Italian Serie B due to corruption charges. They are also playing quite attacking flowing football and under the Tinkerman, will have their evergreen attacking force of Nedved, Del Piero and David Trezeguet. You can look forward to scores of goals and attacking football to be featured in this game.

Of course, Sampdoria are no longer the attractive team they used to be, and they have virtually no star players now. I cannot even name you any Sampdoria player of note, partly also due to the fact that Italian Serie A does not get much coverage nowadays. It is surprisingly even for a live commentary and radio broadcast of this Italian Serie A game but because it is Juventus and Sampdoria it can bring back memories of when these two teams fought a bitter game and saw much action and controversy. In fact Gianluca Vialli was to be transferred to Juventus in later years and has since become a legend of the Zebras.

Italian Serie A 20/1/2008 - AS Roma vs Catania

In this special live commentary and play by play broadcast between the Italian giants AS Roma and Catania, we expect to see another quick and easy result for AS Roma in the Italian Serie A as they remain the closest and most probable challenger to Italian Champions Inter Milan. With Francesco Totti still playing beautiful and shrewd soccer and Roma's best player by a mile for many seasons now, AS Roma should be looking forward to another straightforward result tonight against Catania and to bang in a few more goals for a victory.

However, we cannot take things for granted and Catania is more than capable of causing an upset in this live radio broadcast and tv commentary of this Italian Serie A game against AS Roma. But the key point tonight is that AS Roma are playing at home in Rome, and most teams struggle to score a goal, much less get any point in this ground. Of course, in recent seasons Italian soccer is no longer the defensive and boring game in the league like many years ago, and Roma would probably concede a goal as they surge forward in waves to score, while leaving holes at the back for Catania to capitalise on. However, Catania is not Manchester United, so expect AS Roma to canter to another memorable home victory.

Italian Serie A Highlights - AC Milan vs Napoli

It's the return of Ronaldo. Not the one who scored a couple of girls, but the fat one who still looks a little pudgy in his return but manages to score two goals as shown in these goal highlights between AC Milan and Napoli. Ronaldo does look a lot leaner though, and sharp in front of goal. Scoring two goals would have helped his confidence a lot and reports mentioned the three pronged Brazilian attack of wonderboy Pato, Kaka and Ronaldo looked sizzling. All three players scored, including one from Clarence Seedorf. A pity that Milan defence looks creaky in conceding two against Napoli. Check out Pato's goal, nice touch and finish. Cool composure for someone so young.

Kaka: I Wanted To Leave Milan Before Champions League Final

In a slightly shocking bit of news, Brazilian and World Footballer of the Year Kaka revealed that he thought of quitting AC Milan on the eve of their Champions League final showdown against English Premier League struggler Liverpool last season.

Looking at how this season has unfolded, Kaka could be regretting a little that he did not consider it further.

Juventus Bribery Scandal? Get Real - They Don't Get All The Calls

I cannot remember how long it has been since teams, players and fans all over the world have attributed Juventus' success to bribing referees and the like for results. Every penalty they receive would be the act of corrupted men in black on the take. With money from the Juventus petty cash kitty. Scandalous revelations and a legal punishment in recent years have also set the club backward and tarnished their name further.

However, this should be changed with last night's game against Napoli. Not only did they end up the wrong end of penalty decisions, those decisions made were downright controversial.

So should we start to say Napoli had done a Juventus?

So Juventus have been proven to have paid referees for decisions to go their way during crucial games. But to label them cheats each time they receive a contentious decision in their favour would be scandalous in itself. Referees make mistakes, and sometimes these mistakes lead to teams losing when they cannot afford to.

The fact is that soccer still is filled with boys playing a man's game. They lose, they cry.

Italian Serie A - Buy Francesco Totti

The man is on fire.

And fire the Tinkerman.

Soccer Needs a Kick Up Its Backside!

As demonstrated by Catania coach Silvio Baldini...



I love this game!
