The Offside 100: 2000-09

By: Rob | Comments 59 Comments

As I let you know back when I posted up this year’s FFT100, I’m a bit of a junkie for lists. They are utterly meaningless, and yet compelling at the same time.
With it being the end of the decade, there are tonnes of lists of the best albums, films, videos, celebrities etc floating around. [...]

Cars of the Stars: Which Autos do Rich Footballers Drive?

By: Laurie | Comments 7 Comments

According to Forbes.com, the average EPL player made $2.2 million last year. And what did he spend it on?
Expensive toys.
And it’s not just the EPL guys, either. Highly-paid players all over are coughing up cash for the grownup versions of Hot Wheels.
So what kind of vehicles do some of our richest [...]

Del Piero Gets Euros Call Up In Sticker Form

By: chris | Comments 2 Comments

The Italian company Panini puts out stickers books or albums for the children when the big tournaments come rolling around. Each team participating gets its own album, and each player has a sticker representing them, which can then be placed in the book. Since the book comes out two months ahead of time, they have [...]

Ten Things We Learned From Serie A This Weekend

By: chris | Comments 4 Comments

Reggina Calcio needs better goal celebrations.
As you can see above.

Franco Brienza could be the surprise recall of the Euros.
The little man did pretty alright playing with Luca Toni on the island a few years back, and he’s looking like a man possessed for Reggina these days. Maybe The Don would like to rekindle some of [...]

Derby d’Italia: Serie A Is Exciting Again

By: chris | Comments 8 Comments

It’s quite strange to consider the Derby d’Italia just that these days, as the two clubs represented are one which has worn the lone black eye (just or not) for Calciopoli and another which stands a very good chance of donating zero Italians to Roberto Donadoni’s Swissaustria squad this summer. Not to mention the Derby [...]

10 Things We Learned From Serie A This Weekend

By: chris | Comments No Comments

The Sans-Mutu Viola Are Just Fine
You know, just in case a huge offer for Mutu swoops in this summer and it like quadruples his wages and la Viola can’t possibly refuse that much money. But that would never happen, no siree.
In case the purple-tainted apocalypse does arrive, however, Papa Waigo and his short shorts seem [...]

10 Things We Learned In Serie A This Weekend

By: chris | Comments 8 Comments

Fernando Forestieri says “I’ve got your Pato right here.”
He’s got to be on the short list of the best talents in the world flying under the radar – at least to many casual fans. He doesn’t get the Pato-esque hype, but damn is this kid a talent (think Messi) – and he’s a 90’s baby [...]
