Inter Milan’s stunning mediocrity in Champions League play has not abated as they fell before Barcelona 2-0 today.

And so another season came to a close in Serie A in what turned out to be an exciting campaign in Italy despite all the controversy in recent years. Let’s recall that the Renaissance was born into and bequeathed a brilliant cultural and historical legacy amidst much political chaos. It’s the Italian way.
While the Scudetto [...]

Well, at least both Italy and Spain are square with Hiddink now.
Soccer: Arsenal fan hangs himself.
MLB: Manny being Manny with girly steroids. Question: What the dilio? What was he thinking?

As a neutral observer of the 2nd leg match between Barcelona and Chelsea, please allow me to convey my sober but middling and borderline lexaphanic thoughts given the passionate explosiveness witnessed.
The match ended 1-1 but Barcelona marches on Rome (to the Spanish Steps I assume) thanks to an away goal at Stamford Bridge. In magnificent [...]

Barcelona are on track for a Spanish treble but of late, the euphoria surrounding this scintillating team has fizzled out and they have looked less than invincible. Not to take anything away from the Blaugrana, they remain the most thrilling team in Europe on their day.
However, consistency has suffered from the [...]

If Manchester United are in the grip of an injury crisis, they are not showing it. The Red Devils were rampant in a masterful 5-0 thrashing of West Bromich Albion on Tuesday and moved two points clear of Liverpool who failed to destroy Wigan.

Is it me or does Inter leave you wanting more? Each time I watch Inter, I can’t figure out what the game plan is. It feels like they’re a team that succeeds by winging games.
